This could lead to situations where the built form of a <br />corner property will stand out compared to other adjacent lots; does the city have issues with this or not? If <br />yes, an option to consider would be to create a Òstreet sideÓ setback, which would be less restrictive than the <br />front setback requirement, but not as small as the side setback. For example, a 20-foot street side setback <br />could lessen the change from a 30- or 35-foot setback to a 10-foot setback; this is shown in Figure 3. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 3: Front lot line and setback based on address or access, along with a street side setback. <br />Situations where a lotÓs address is different than where the access or front of a house is from, or lots with <br />curved or irregular shapes could create complicated or unique issues. In addition, there are a few lots in the <br />city who do not abut or have frontage along the roads their address or access is derived from. Staff would <br />recommend that peculiar situations warrant having the Zoning Administrator determine which lot line would <br />be the ÒfrontÓ. <br /> <br />Creating a street side setback could also impact the non-residential zones in the city (B-1, B-2, I-1, and P- <br />1). The side and rear setbacks are not very different from the front setback in the B-1, B-2, and P-1 zones; <br />the street side setback in these zones could be the same as the front, or similar to the current side or rear. <br /> <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />
