§ 1304. Yard requirements—Measurement  


Latest version.
  • Required yards shall be measured as the minimum horizontal distance from the property line of the site or street line to a line parallel thereto on the site, provided that when a precise street plan has been adopted by the city council, required front yards shall be measured from the plan line, and no provision of this ordinance shall be construed to permit a structure or use to extend beyond such line. Where a site abuts on a street having only a portion of its required width dedicated or reserved for street purposes, site area and required yards shall be measured from a line representing the boundary of the additional width required for street purposes abutting the site. Where a site abuts a public alley, required yards shall be measured from the nearest line of the alley, except that garages and carports having access perpendicular from the alley right-of-way shall be located a minimum of 27 feet from the opposite alley right-of-way line.
