What setbacks apply to this property?
Setbacks come from Table 4.1.3.B, the citywide zoning district dimensional standards table, organized by residential, non-residential, and mixed-use district groups. As an example, R-1 requires a 25-foot front setback (18 feet on a cul-de-sac), 7.5-foot side, and 20-foot rear (10 feet for a pool cage), while the Commercial (C) district requires only a 6-foot front setback and 0-to-6-foot side setback. Waterfront lots carry additional setback rules under Sec. 4.1.4, and several districts (NC, South Cape) refer setbacks to their own sub-tables (Table 4.2.12, Sec. 4.2.15.D) rather than the citywide table; those figures are review-gated in this pack pending direct verification. PUD district setbacks are set entirely by the adopting PUD ordinance. Confirm the parcel's zoning district and any waterfront or PUD conditions with the City Planning Division before acting.
