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.

Required Building Line (RBL). A line or plane indicated on the Regulating Plan, defining the Street Frontage which extends vertically and generally parallel to the street, at which the building shall be placed. The façade shall occur on the Required Building Line - this is a requirement, not a permissive minimum. The minimum length and height of façade that is required at the RBL is shown on the appropriate Building Envelope Standard.
