(A) Setback measurement. Setbacks are measured as the distance between a lot line and the nearest point of where a structure intersects the ground along a line at a right angle to the lot line. See Figure 112-1.
Figure 112-1: Setback Measurement
(B) Lot line designation. The Director has the authority to designate the location of front, side and rear lot lines based on the physical conditions and function of the lot.
(C) Flag lots. For flag lots, lot lines are designated as shown in Figure 112-2 unless otherwise designated by the Director based on the existing and/or proposed layout and function of the lot.

(D) Lots fronting on two parallel streets.
(1) For lots fronting on two parallel streets (“through lots”), the Director will either:
(a) Determine that the lot has two fronts; or
(b) Determine which street frontage constitutes the rear of the lot based on the placement and orientation of existing buildings on the lot and on neighboring properties.
(2) An alley is not considered a street when determining whether a lot qualifies as a through lot. See Figure 112-3.
