(a) Building Lines Established. Along every street right-of-way a building line shall be established from the existing right-of-way or proposed right-of-way as indicated in the Obetz Thoroughfare Plan, as amended, whichever is greater in width, that shall constitute the required front yard setback as established in the applicable zoning district.
(b) Required Setback Defined. The required setback is that distance between the established building line and the actual or proposed right-of-way. No structure or other use of land, except parking as defined in subsection (c) herein, shall locate in the required setback. In no case shall the required setback be less than the minimum required in the applicable zoning district.
(c) Parking Within the Required Setback in Commercial and Industrial Districts. Open parking or loading spaces shall be permitted to extend toward the street right-of-way from the established building line a distance equal to forty (40) percent of the required setback distance as measured from the actual or proposed right-of-way. In no case shall any part of a parking area be closer than fifteen (15) feet to any established or proposed right-of-way.
(d) Reduced Setback. If existing structures or uses on lots adjacent to each side of a lot have a setback less than the setback line established by these Regulations, the setback on the center lot shall be the average setback established on the adjacent lots.
(e) Display in Front Setback Prohibited. Within the front building setback and side building setbacks adjacent to public right-of-way, there shall be no storage or display of any materials, equipment, inventory, merchandise or wares. This provision is applicable in all zoning districts.
(f) Setback Requirements for Corner Buildings. On a corner lot the principal building and its accessory structures shall be required to have the same setback distance from all street right-of-way lines as required for the front yard in the district in which such structures are located.
(g) Visibility at Intersections.
(1) On a corner lot in any residential district, nothing shall be erected, constructed, placed, planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as materially to impede vision between a height of two and one-half (2 1/2) feet and ten (l0) feet above the center line grades of the intersecting streets in the area bounded by the street lines of such corner lots and a line joining points along said street lines fifty (50) feet from the point of the intersection.
(2) In nonresidential zones at intersections of street rights of way, a sight triangle shall be established as described by the right-of-way lines of the intersection streets and the third side being a line passing through a point on each right-of-way line that is a distance from their point of intersection equal to the sum of the width of both rights of way divided by four.
In all NC, GC, RI, LI, SO, and CF districts, multiple uses may be permitted on a single lot of record subject to the following standards:
(a) Uses Shown on Approved Final Site Plan. Multiple uses may be permitted on a single lot of record when such uses are shown on an approved final site plan.
(b) Use Permit Issued. Multiple uses may be permitted on a single lot of record when such uses are located in a multi-tenant structure and a use permit is issued for the various uses.
(a) Mandatory Land Dedication. Acreage shall be set aside in all platted residential subdivisions and multi-family residential developments, including planned residential and planned unit development districts for the provision of public areas. Such public areas shall be used as sites for public parks, open space, and recreational areas. Such lands may be deeded to the Municipality and thereby developed and managed by the Municipality or held, developed and maintained by a private association, the bylaws and creation of which shall be by approval of Council as an element of the subdivision platting process. Title to dedicated land shall be transferred to the Municipality within sixty (60) days of final plat approval. The amount of acreage to be set aside shall comply with the following schedule:

R-2 & R-3 | 20.0 |
R-2 | 20.0 |
PRD & PUD | 20.0 |
(b) Review And Approval Process. The mandatory land dedication requirement shall serve as a component of the subdivision review process or development review process if the development is except from the subdivision review process. The Planning and Zoning Commission may review and reject the proposed acreage if such site(s) is not appropriate for the intended use given environmental, technical or land use considerations. In such circumstances, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall request an alternative site(s), which may or may not be provided on-site.
(c) Fees In-Lieu of Dedication or Dedication of Off-site Public Areas. The Applicant may request the payment of fees in-lieu of the total or a portion of the mandatory land dedication to the Planning and Zoning Commission which shall make a recommendation to Council relative to such request. The amount of fees to be paid shall be equal to the assessed value of the acreage that would have been dedicated to the Municipality under the land dedication requirement. The Applicant may also request the acceptance of an off-site public area in-lieu of the total or a portion of the mandatory land dedication. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall make a recommendation to Council relative to such request.
(d) Pavement, Deposit and Use of Fees. Fees in-lieu of land dedication shall be paid to the Municipality within sixty (60) days following final plat approval or development plan approval. Such fees shall be placed in a special fund the records of which shall be available for public inspection. Such funds shall only be used by the Municipality for the acquisition and development of public parks, recreation facilities, and open space.
