§ 17.04.520. Yard, front.  


Latest version.
  • "Front yard" means a yard extending between side lot lines across the front of the lot adjoining a public street, and shall be provided as follows:

    A.

    In the case of through lots, unless the prevailing front yard pattern on adjoining lots indicates otherwise, front yards shall be provided on all frontages. Where one of the front yards that would normally be required on a through street is not in keeping with the prevailing yard pattern, the enforcing officer may waive the requirement for the normal front yard and substitute therefor a special yard requirement which shall not exceed the average of the yards provided on adjacent lots.

    B.

    In the case of corner lots which do not have reversed frontage, a front yard of the required depth shall be provided in accordance with the prevailing yard pattern and a second front yard of half the depth required generally for front yards in the zone shall be provided on the other frontage.

    C.

    In the case of reversed frontage corner lots, a front yard of the required depth shall be provided on either frontage and a second yard of half the depth required generally for front yards in the zone shall be provided on the other frontage.

    D.

    In the case of corner lots with more than two frontages, the enforcing officer shall determine the front yard requirements subject to the following limitations:

    1.

    At least one front yard shall be provided having the full depth required generally in the district.

    2.

    No other front yard on such lot shall have less than half the full depth required generally. (See also Sections 17.46.020 through 17.46.110).
