The determination of which lot line shall be considered the front lot line shall be based upon existing and anticipated surrounding developments, existing and proposed street classifications, and any particular circumstances related to the proposed development.
A. On interior lots, the front lot line is the lot line abutting the street.
B. On lots with more than one street frontage, the front lot line shall be that which is adjacent to the street with the higher designation, as provided in Chapter 20.72, Official Plan Lines, of the Signal Hill Municipal Code. Where all abutting streets have the same designation, the narrowest street frontage in residential districts including the CR district shall be considered the front lot line. In all other districts, the largest street frontage shall be considered the front lot line.
C. Where exceptional circumstances related to the size, shape, topography or intended use of the property exists which cause compliance with the front lot line determination of subsection B of this section to result in poorer overall project design, the planning commission upon request or upon its own initiative may select an alternate front lot line.
