APPENDIX B: PROPERTY SETBACKS
MANUFACTURE HOME ESTABLISHMENT ON INDIVIDUAL LOTS. A manufactured home may be located on any lot that: (1) meets the standards required for the establishment of a single family dwelling, and (2) lies in a zone in which a single family dwelling is permitted use.
FRONT AND FLANKING STREET YARDS. No building shall be hereafter erected or altered so that any portion thereof shall be nearer to the front or flanking street property line than 25 feet.
Exceptions:
·   Eaves, cornices, and similar ornamentations may project over a required front or flanking street yard not more than two feet.
·   Steps, terraces, platforms, and porches having no roof covering, may extend not more than ten feet into a required front or flanking street yard.
·   Fireplaces may extend into a required front or flanking street yard a distance of not more than 24 inches.
SIDE YARD. No building shall be hereafter erected or altered so that any portion thereof shall be nearer to the side of lot line than eight feet.
Exceptions:
·   Eaves, cornices, and similar ornamentations may extend over a required side yard set back for a distance of not more than two feet.
·   Platforms, terraces, and steps may extend not more than two feet into a required side yard.
·   Fireplaces and chimneys may extend into a required side yard distance of not more than 24 inches.
·   Structures less than 120 square feet may be located on the side lot line.
·   Structures less than 120 square feet may be located on the rear lot line.
REAR YARD. No building shall be hereafter erected or altered so that any portion thereof may be nearer to the rear lot line than ten feet.
Exceptions:
·   Eaves, cornices, steps, platforms, and open porches may extend into the required rear yard set back for a distance of not more than two feet.
·   The required setback for a private garage of five feet.
·   Structure setbacks for uses that are adjacent to private roads shall be established from the inner edge of the private road rather than by reference to the centerline of the right-of-way. Basements designated for future public rights-of-way shall be treated the same as a public street for structure setback purposes. Structure setbacks for uses that are adjacent to a recorded driveway easement shall be established from the inner edge of the driveway easement and calculated the same as a side yard setback.
Any deviations from these setback requirements must be approved at time of pre-conference meeting and may require a variance to accomplish.
BUILDING LINE VARIATIONS. The Council or designee may establish a building line or setback along certain streets or property other than the line established by the yard requirements specifically provided in this chapter when it is found that to do so will protect the public health, safety, and welfare. Such building line or setback shall be identified on a plan and, if adopted, shall be placed on the official zoning maps.
LOT DEPTH: The horizontal length of a straight line drawn from the midpoint of the lot front line and at right angles to such line to its intersection with a line parallel to the lot front line and passing through the midpoint of the lot rear line. In the case of a lot having a curved front line, the lot front line for purposes of this section shall be deemed to be a line tangent to the curve and parallel to a straight line connecting the points of intersection of the lot side lines with the curved lot front line.
LOT FRONTAGE (FRONTAGE): The length of that portion of a lot abutting the public (private) street providing principal access to the lot.
LOT LINES:
1.   Lot Front Lines - A line separating the lot from the street, or public right-of-way other than an alley if a street does not exist. In the case of a corner lot, the shortest continuous line separating the lot from the street or public right-of-way shall be the lot front line. In case of corner lots having equal lines abutting a street or public right-of-way, that property line which when extended creates the front property line for the greatest number of interior lots in the same block shall be considered as the lot front line of such corner lot. Where a lot does not abut a public right-of-way or street the lot front line shall be the lot line nearest to a street or public right-of-way.
2.   Lot Rear Line - A lot line which is opposite and most distant from the lot front line. For the purposes of establishing the lot rear line the following shall apply:
   a.   In the case of a lot with a rear boundary formed by a single line that is parallel to the lot front line, such rear boundary is the lot rear line.
   b.   In the case of a lot, the rear boundary of which is formed by two or more lines, the lot rear line shall be a line ten feet in length within the lot and farthest removed from the lot front line and at right angles to the line comprising the depth of such a lot.
   c.   In the case of a trapezoidal lot, the rear line of which is not parallel to the lot front line, the lot rear line shall be deemed to be a line at right angles to the line comprising the depth of such lot and drawn through a point bisecting the recorded lot rear line.
   d.   In no case shall the application of the above be interpreted as permitting a main building to locate closer than eight feet to any property line.
3.   Lot Side Line - Any lot boundary line not a lot front line or a lot rear line.
LOT OF RECORD - An area of land designated as a residential lot on the plat or subdivision recorded or registered, pursuant to statute, with Pendleton County.
LOT TYPES:
1.   Corner lot - A lot situated at the intersection of two or more streets, the street frontage of which lot form an angle not greater than 128 degrees, and not less than 45 degrees.
2.   Interior lot - A lot other than a corner lot.
LOT WIDTH: The horizontal distance between the lot side lines measured at right angles to the line comprising the depth of the lot. Minimum lot width shall be the same for the entire depth of the parcel.
