Rules of Measurement Chapter 918 Rules and Definitions Page 918-7 e. Lot Depth: Lot depth shall be determined by a straight line connecting the midpoint of the front lot line to the midpoint of the rear lot line, or to the rear most point of the lot when there is no rear lot line (see Figure 918-1 for examples). f. Lot or Street Frontage: In the case of a building lot abutting upon only one street, the frontage line is the line parallel to and common with the right-of-way. In the case of a corner lot, that part of the building lot having the narrowest frontage on any street shall be considered the frontage line. For the purpose of determining yard requirements on corner lots and double frontage lots, all sides of a lot adjacent to streets shall be considered frontage, and yards shall be provided as required in this ordinance. g. Lot Line 1. Corner Side Lot Line The corner side lot line is a side lot line that abuts a street or other right- of- way. 2. Front Lot Line The front lot line is the line connecting the two side lot lines along the edge of the street that provides a lot’s street address or that opposes the primary entrance of a building. 3. Rear Lot Line The rear lot line is the line connecting the two side lot lines along the edge of the lot opposite from the front line. 4. Side Lot Line The side lot line is the lot line connecting the front and rear lot lines regardless of whether it abuts a right-of-way or another lot line. Figure 918-1 depicts the midpoints of the front and rear lot lines in three instances. Lot depth is measured by connecting a straight line between the midpoints of the front and rear lot lines, as shown. When there is no rear lot line, as in Example “C,” the depth is measured to the rear-most point of the lot from the front lot line.
