The
distance a building is set back from a street.
- A new building's setback should relate
to the setback pattern established by the existing block context
rather than the setbacks of building footprints which no longer
exist. If the development standards for the particular zoning
district do not allow appropriate setbacks, a variance may be
needed.
- If setbacks are varied, new construction can
be located within a setback which falls within an "envelope" formed
by the greatest and least setback distances.
- If setbacks are uniform, new construction
must conform.
- On corner sites, the setbacks from both streets
must reflect the context.
