Lot Line Definition
A line dividing one lot from another, or from any other piece
or parcel or property of whatever nature, or from a street, or from any
other use of any kind whatsoever.
- Front lot line - In the case of an interior lot abutting upon
one public or private street, the front lot line shall mean the
line separating such lot from such street right-of-way. In
the case of a corner or double frontage lot, the front lot line
shall be that line separating said lot from that street which is
designated as the front street in the plat and in the request
for a building permit.
- Rear lot line - Ordinarily that lot line which is opposite and
most distant from the front lot line of the lot. In the
case of an irregular triangular, or gore-shaped lot, a line ten
(10) feet in length entirely within the lot parallel to and at
the maximum distance from the front lot line of the lot shall be
considered to be the rear lot line for the purpose of
determining depth or rear yard. In cases where none of
these definitions are applicable, the Board of Appeals shall
designate the rear lot line.
- Side lot line - Any lot lines not a front line or a rear lot
line. A side lot line separating a lot from a street is a
side street lot line. A side lot line separating a lot
from another lot or lots is an interior side lot line.
- Street or alley lot line - A lot line separating the lot from
the right-of-way of a street or an alley.
