18.115.080 Street dedication and setbacks.
If a lot adjoins a street which is designated in the comprehensive plan as an arterial or collector street but which has less right-of-way width than required by the plan, then no building permit will be issued for the construction of a main building on that lot until, if on a collector street, there is first dedicated from the lot a sufficient amount of frontage to remedy half the right-of-way deficiency of the street as a collector along the portion adjoining the lot. If the street is an arterial, dedication for arterial width shall not be required, but in lieu thereof a building setback in the additional amount shall be enforced as prescribed in subsections (A)(1) and (B) of this section. If such setback is imposed it shall not apply to existing buildings and the property within the setback shall in all respects retain all incidents of ownership, except the building restriction, including the right to compensation if the area is subsequently acquired for street widening.
A. Planned Right-of-Way Line. A planned right-of-way line is hereby established for the streets designated in the transportation system plan as minor arterials, collectors and locals.
1. Arterials. The planned right-of-way for arterials is 90 to 100 feet wide, unless it is determined by the planning commission or city council that some lesser width in conformance with the TSP is more appropriate. The planned right-of-way line is a line 45 to 50 feet from each side of, and parallel to, the centerline. If a lesser right-of-way width is permitted, half of that width measured from each side of, and parallel to, the centerline will result in the planned right-of-way line.
2. Collectors. The planned right-of-way for collectors is 60 to 66 feet wide. The planned right-of-way line is a line 30 to 33 feet from each side of, and parallel to, the centerline.
3. Local Streets. The planned right-of-way for a local street is 50 to 60 feet wide, unless some lesser width is permitted by the planning commission or city council in conformance with the standards set forth in the TSP. The planned right-of-way line is a line measured half the permitted right-of-way width from, and parallel to, the centerline.
4. Alleys. The planned right-of-way for an alley is 20 feet wide.
B. Building Setback Line. Where there is a planned right-of-way line established by this chapter, the building setback distance required for any yard area in the zone in which a property is located shall be measured from the planned right-of-way line rather than from the actual property line.
