Part 9. Definitions

DFD 901. Defined Terms

The following terms are defined for the purpose of this Code. Terms not defined here may be defined elsewhere in the City of Overland Park Zoning Ordinance. In such case, the definition contained in the Zoning Ordinance shall be used. Certain terms in this Code are used in very specific ways, often excluding some of the meanings of common usage. Where there is an apparent conflict or contradiction, the definition herein shall prevail.

Parking Setback Line. A line or plane indicated on the Regulating Plan which extends vertically up from the Ground Story floor level (unless otherwise noted on the regulating plan or BES) and is generally parallel to the Required Building Line. The Parking Setback Line is typically 30 feet behind the Required Building Line unless otherwise designated on the Regulating Plan. All parking shall be set-back behind this line, excepting where it is below grade. The Parking Setback Line is a permissive minimum distance from the Required Building Line and parking may be placed anywhere within the lot behind this line, except where otherwise specified in this Code.
