Front setback exceptions for new structures from existing road network elements listed in SCC Tables 30.23.041 through 30.23.047 shall be as follows:

(1) The minimum front setback from a road network element may be averaged when at least 50 percent of the lots on the same side of the road network element, and within 165 feet of either side of the subject lot, are improved with permitted buildings. The front setback shall be determined by averaging the front setback of those structures on those lots whose setback is equal to or less than the setback required in the underlying zone; provided, that the setback for a vacant lot is that required in the bulk matrices for the underlying zone.

(2) The minimum front setback may be reduced one foot for each percent of natural slope in excess of 35 percent, as measured from the midpoint of the front lot line from which the reduction is sought, for a distance of 60 feet into the lot.

(3) The setback from a temporary turnaround easement shall be the greater of either:

(a) Five feet from the easement line; or

(b) The setback from the right-of-way line for the zoning classification.

(4) New structures shall have a minimum five-foot setback from:

(a) The edge of a private road network element when the lot does not have an easement to utilize the private road network element; or

(b) The edge of a restricted access right-of-way.

(5) The setback from a tract or easement for a shared driveway or a private road capable of serving only one or two lots shall be considered a side or rear setback if the lot also fronts on a public right-of-way.

(6) Where one of the roads creating a corner or through lot is a restricted access right-of-way, side or rear yard setbacks shall apply along the restricted access right-of-way.
