Table 17.37.03: Property Development Standards

Additional Regulations for Table 17.37.03:

1.  See Section 17.106.010 and 17.106.020 for exceptions to lot area, width mean, and street frontage regulations.

2.  Hegenberger Road, 98th Avenue, and Edgewater Drive each have a right-of-way width of one-hundred (100) feet or more. This minimum front yard setback area shall, except for necessary driveways, walkways, and allowable signs, be developed as open landscaped areas with lawn, ground cover, garden, shrubs, trees, or decorative paving materials, subject to the standards for required landscaping and screening in Chapter 17.124. Further, if fifty (50) percent or more of the frontage on one side of the street between two intersecting streets is in any residential zone and all or part of the remaining frontage is in any commercial or industrial zone, the required front setback of the commercially or industrially zoned lots is one-half of the minimum front setback required in the residential zone. If 50 percent or more of the total frontage is in more than one residential zone, then the minimum front setback on the commercially or industrially zoned lots is one-half of that required in the residential zone with the lesser front setback.

3.  Wherever an interior side lot line abuts an interior side lot line of any lot located in an RH or RD zone, the setback of the abutting portion of its side lot line is ten (10) feet. In the case where an interior side lot line abuts an interior side lot line in an RM zone, the setback of the abutting portion of its side lot line is five (5) feet. In the case where an interior side lot line abuts a side yard of an RU-1 or RU-2 lot, a side setback of four (4) feet is required (see Illustration for Table 17.37.03 [Additional Regulation 3], below). Also, see Section 17.108.130 for allowed projections into setbacks.
