730.110 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. See Figure 730-16. The following rules apply in calculating the average:
A. The setbacks used for the calculations must be the same type of setback that is being averaged. For example, only front setbacks can be used to average a front setback.
B. 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.
C. When an abutting lot is vacant or if the lot is a corner lot, then the average is of the setback of the non-vacant lot and the required setback for the zone.
