§ 1400-27-S1. Setback Averaging.

Certain regulations allow for setbacks to be averaged. In these situations, the required setback may be reduced to the average of the existing setbacks of the lots that are on both sides of the site. The following rules apply in calculating the average setback:

(a)

Abutting Setbacks. Only the setbacks on the lots that abut each side of the site and are on the same street may be used. Setbacks across the street or along a different street may not be used.

(b)

Vacant Abutting Lots and Corner Lots. When one abutting lot is vacant, the average is of the setback of the abutting non-vacant lot and the required setback for the vacant lot. When the subject lot is a corner lot, the average is of the setback of the abutting non-vacant lot and the required setback of the subject lot.
