17.10.040 Identification of Front Lot Lines

   Occasionally, a lot is adjacent to more than one street. In such cases, the following requirements shall be observed in identifying the front lot line.

   (a)   When a lot exists between two developed lots which both abut the same street, the front lot line shall be on the same street as the existing developed lots on either side.

   (b)   When a lot is adjacent to vacant lots or developed lots which abut either street, the following criteria shall apply:

      (1)   Where one street is of a higher classification than the other, the lot line fronting the street with the lower classification shall be the front lot line.

      (2)   If the lot in question is a corner lot and both streets are of the same classification, the narrower of the two frontages shall be designated the front lot line.

      (3)   The Planning Director shall make the determination when the above criteria cannot be clearly applied to the particular situation as a result of topography or other factors.

   (c)   The front lot line for a corner lot or a reverse corner lot is the lot line which fronts the street with the lower classification. If both streets are of the same classification, the narrower of the two frontages shall be designated the front lot line, except in those cases where the subdivision or parcel map specifies another line as the front lot line.

   (d)   The front lot line for a cul-de-sac lot is that lot line which abuts the cul-de-sac street.
