Corner lots and through lots

  • (a) Corner lots—Setbacks. For corner lots, those lots which abut on and at the intersection of two or more streets and/or road rights-of-way, lot frontage shall be considered for the purposes of determining setbacks to be two or more front lot lines which shall all meet the minimum front setback requirements of section 19-145.

  • (b) Corner lots—Lot depth and width. Lot depth for corner lots may be measured from any front lot line measuring as indicated in lot depth, to a side lot line considered under this measurement to be a rear lot line. Lot width for corner lots shall be measured as indicated under lot width.

  • (c) Use of side yard as rear yard. Where in the case of a corner lot there is no apparent rear lot line, one side lot line shall be designated as a rear lot line and shall conform to all regulations of this chapter pertaining to rear yard setbacks.

  • (d) Through lots—Setbacks. For through lots, those lots which front upon two parallel streets or which front upon two streets which do not intersect at the boundaries of the lot, the lot shall be considered for the purposes of determining setbacks to have two front lot lines which shall both meet the minimum front setback requirements of section 19-145.

  • (e) Through lots—Depth. For through lots, those lots which front upon two parallel streets or which front upon two streets which do not intersect at the boundaries of the lot, depth shall be measured for lots with parallel front lot lines, as the distance measured from the front lot line to front lot line, the distance shall be the shortest distance. For lots where the front lot lines are not parallel, the lot depth is an average which shall be measured from midpoint to midpoint of the front lot lines.

  • (f) Through lots—Width. Width shall be measured as indicated under lot width at the minimum front setback from either front lot line.
