17.10.010 Intent and Purpose
   The development standards contained in this Chapter are general in nature and apply to all zoning districts, unless otherwise indicated. These standards are provided as minimum or maximum standards and may be modified by more stringent standards in particular districts and/or due to specific situations. The primary intent of this Chapter is to provide generally acceptable standards of development for Adelanto.
[Ord. No. 515, Exhibit E, 5/22/13; Ord. No. 528, Exhibit F, 9/10/14.]
17.10.020 Maintenance of Properties
   All properties within the City shall be kept and maintained in a clean, neat, orderly, operable, and usable condition. This requirement applies to buildings, paving, fences, walls, landscaping, water, earth, and any other structures or natural features.
[Ord. No. 515, Exhibit E, 5/22/13; Ord. No. 528, Exhibit F, 9/10/14.]
17.10.030 Nuisances
   Neither the provisions of this Zoning Code nor the granting of any permit provided for in this Zoning Code shall authorize or legalize the creation or maintenance of any public or private nuisance.
[Ord. No. 515, Exhibit E, 5/22/13; Ord. No. 528, Exhibit F, 9/10/14.]
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.
[Ord. No. 515, Exhibit E, 5/22/13; Ord. No. 528, Exhibit F, 9/10/14.]
17.10.050 Determination of Front Yards and Required Setbacks
   (a)   Through Lots
      Both frontages of a through lot shall have a minimum setback from both streets of twenty feet (20'), unless the provisions of this Zoning Code allow for reduced non-garage and rear setbacks for shallow lots.
   (b)   Key Lots
      The depth of the required front yard of a key lot shall not be less than the average depth of the street-abutting yards of the adjoining interior and reversed corner lots. The garage portion of the primary structure shall require a minimum front yard setback of not less than twenty feet (20').
[Ord. No. 515, Exhibit E, 5/22/13; Ord. No. 528, Exhibit F, 9/10/14.]
