18.110.390 Lot line

Lot line means the boundary line of a lot.

Effective on: 1/1/1901

Front lot line means that lot line abutting a street or private drive. In the case of a corner lot where there are two lot lines abutting intersecting streets, the front lot line shall normally be the one with the shortest length. In the case of a through lot, the front lot line shall be the one adjacent to the street which provides primary access to the lot or towards which the main building on the lot is oriented.

Effective on: 1/1/1901

Side lot line means any lot line which intersects the front lot line. A side lot line shall include any linked line segments or arcs which have a bearing which is within 45 degrees of a line drawn perpendicular to the front lot line.

Effective on: 1/1/1901

Rear lot line means any lot line which is not a front lot line or a side lot line.

Where the application of the rules is ambiguous or where the property owner requests an alternative designation, the Director of Planning and Development Services may specifically designate the various lot lines for a particular lot.
