§ 122-1241. Applicability of division.

(a)

No building, structure or parking lot or space shall be permitted to be constructed, erected or altered so that any part thereof would extend toward the streets listed in this division at a lesser distance than those specified in this division, except:

(1)

Signs meeting visibility standards set forth in this division.

(2)

Parking, which is allowed in all areas ten feet back from right-of-way and street width lines, except at intersections, where the provisions of section 122-253 shall supersede. This ten feet may be reduced to five feet where properly designed, subject to staff review and approval of the design.

(3)

Drainage areas and appurtenances with a height, measured from the right-of-way line grade, of less than 2½ feet.

(4)

Sidewalks, which shall be constructed within the right-of-way.

(b)

All setbacks shall be measured in feet, at right angles in each direction, from the centerline of the streets listed, unless otherwise specified. Where any portion of a street listed in this division lies within a residential district (R-1, R-1A, R-1AA, R-2, R-3, MH, PUD or RO), the setback shall be determined by either the setback listed in this division or by the front yard requirement as determined by other sections of this chapter, in addition to the street width, whichever is greater.

(c)

Where an R-3, RO, RBH, O-1, B-1 or B-1A zoned lot fronts on a street having a minimum of three through-traffic lanes, required parking and access drives shall be allowed in the required yard up to five feet from the property line, provided that the required five-foot setback shall be landscaped.
