Lots facing Thoroughfares on more than one (1) side shall have designated Principal
Frontage(s) and may have Secondary Frontage(s). Unless otherwise designated by a Special
Area Plan, a Principal Frontage shall be that facing the Thoroughfare of higher pedestrian
importance or intensity (i.e., traffic volume, number of lanes, etc.), as determined by the
Planning Department upon request by the Zoning Administrator.
a. If two Thoroughfares are of equal importance each Frontage shall be considered a Principal
Frontage. Lots with two or more Frontages may consider other non -fronting Property Lines as
sides.
b. Lots shall have at least one (1) Principal Frontage, except waterfront Lots shall have at least
two (2) Principal Frontages, one of which shall be the waterfront and shall conform to Waterfront

creates an irregular Frontage such that the side or rear yards cannot be determined as with a
regular lot, the Zoning Administrator shall determine, by Waiver, the yard and setbacks for the
lot as fits the circumstances of the case. In addition to general Waiver requirements, the Zoning
Administrator shall consider the minimum dimensions and methods of measurement as
generally required for either a side or rear yard in the transect, determining which shall apply by
the relation of the portion of the lot on which the yard is to be located to the adjoining lot, with
due regard to the orientation of structures and buildable areas on each lot.
