  1. Parking Setback Types
    There are 4 types of parking setback – primary street setback, side street setback, side setback and rear setback. Through lots are considered to have 2 primary street setbacks.
  2. Measurement of Parking Setbacks
    1. Primary and side street setbacks are measured perpendicular from the edge of the existing or proposed right-of-way, whichever is greater.
    2. Side setbacks are measured perpendicular from the side property line.
    3. Rear setbacks are measured perpendicular from the rear property line or the edge of the existing or proposed right-of-way, whichever is greater, where there is an alley.
  3. Parking Not Allowed
    On-site surface and structured parking must be located behind the parking setback line, where applicable. This requirement does not apply to on-street parking or apply to upper stories of a parking deck.
  4. Parking in the Front Setback
    1. For a detached house, tiny house, or attached house located within a Residential District and used for residential purposes, combined parking and driveway area shall not constitute more than 40% of the area between the front building facade and the front property line. Any parking in the front setback must have sufficient depth so that parked cars do not encroach on the adjacent sidewalk.
    2. Additional parking regulations may be applied with the Special Residential Parking Overlay District (see Sec. 5.6.1.).
