What setbacks apply to this property?
Setbacks are set per district in the Tables 4.3.1 setback rows, with separate columns for principal and accessory buildings. As reference points: CD-3 requires 25 ft front, 8 ft side, and 25 ft rear (or 15 ft from a rear alley centerline); CD-3L requires 30 ft front, 12 ft side, 30 ft rear; CD-2 requires 30 ft front, 20 ft side, 30 ft rear; CD-4 uses a 6 to 20 ft front build-to range with 6 ft sides (0 ft between attached units) and a 3 ft rear. Corner lots apply frontage rules to both frontages, and slopes over 10 percent may qualify for administrative front setback relief. Confirm the district and any overlay first.
