applied to each lot by the square footage of the lot area and the corresponding setback
standards in the table. (See definition of "lot area" and the definitions of "property lines" in

B. Setbacks are measured as the distance between the property line and the closest point of
any part of the building or structure to the property line, including but not limited to architectural
elements, roof eaves, gutters and mechanical equipment. (See Figure 20.22.030(A).)
C. To determine compliance with the setback standards in Table 20.22.030, the setback is
measured along a horizontal plane consistent with subsection (B) of this section.
D. Where a lot adjoins a private lane and has less than 30 feet of public street frontage, the
front, rear and side property lines shall be determined as follows, except as provided in
subsection (E) of this section:
1. The side property lines shall generally correspond to the long dimension of the lot;
2. The front and rear property lines shall generally correspond to the shorter dimensions of
the lot;
3. If the dimensions of the lot form a square, the applicant may elect to designate the front
property line with the rear and side property lines designated consistent with the definitions
in Chapter 20.12 MMC.
E. Where a lot adjoining a private lane or at the terminal end of the street has a condition where
the orientation of the dwelling on the lot, or the orientation of dwellings on adjacent properties,
logically suggests setbacks that do not correspond to the longer and shorter dimensions of the
lot, the setbacks shall be established using the logical orientation rather than the dimensions of
the lot.
F. In addition to the setbacks prescribed by this section, if a lot adjoins a private lane, a setback
from the private lane easement is required pursuant to MMC 20.91.060.
