A. Lots that have the rear or side property lines adjacent to a public street, or common areas between property lines and public street, shall maintain the following minimum rear or side setbacks:

1. Side and rear yard setbacks on a street side yard shall be the same as a front yard. If a six-foot (6') masonry wall exists along a side property line, the side yard setback may be reduced to twenty feet (20'). The masonry wall along a street side yard shall extend to the front plane of the residence, but shall not encroach on the twenty-five-foot (25') setback from the front property line.

2. Double-Fronting Lots in Residential Zones: Lots that have a rear property line adjacent to a public street shall maintain the following minimum rear setbacks:

a. Double-fronting rear yard setback shall be the same as a front yard. If a six-foot (6') masonry wall exists along a rear property line, the rear yard setback may be reduced to twenty feet (20').

b. Setbacks for double-fronting lots shall be measured from the masonry wall, if any. The required landscape strip shall be on the street side of the wall.

B. Less than Required Front Yard Setback: In areas where the front yard setback on adjacent property is less than twenty-five feet (25'), new construction may be constructed at a distance that is halfway between the distance of the two (2) setbacks of adjacent properties. In a case where one (1) of the adjacent setbacks is greater than twenty-five feet (25'), the setback shall be a distance that is halfway between the distance of the lesser adjacent setback and twenty-five feet (25'). In no case shall the setback be less than twenty feet (20'). (Ord. 2019-10-002, 10-10-2019)
