P&Z setback requirements§ 12 32 2
COPPELL CODE
3. The front yard shall be measured from the
property line to the front face of the building,
covered porch, covered terrace or attached acces-
sory building. Eaves and roof extensions or a
porch without posts or columns may project into
the required front yard for a distance not to
exceed four feet and subsurface structures, plat-
forms or slabs may not project into the front yard
to a height greater than 30 inches above the
average grade of the yard. (See appendix illustra-
tion no. 7)
4. Where lots have double frontage, running
through from one street to another, a required
front yard shall be provided on both streets unless
a building line for accessory buildings has been
established along one frontage on the plat or by
ordinance, in which event only one required front
yard need be observed. (See appendix illustration
no. 8)
The minimum front yard setback require-
s may be reduced by five feet in all single
y except the 2F~9 district provided that at
least 50 percent of the structures on a given block
are set back an additional five feet from the
original setback. The average setback would equal
the original setback requirement. The purpose of
this requirement is to encourage a variety of front
yard setbacks along a street creating a more
pleasing appearance of houses in the subdivision.
In no case shall the front yard setback be less
than 20 feet. (See appendix illustration no. 10).
n.al platVarying setbacks must be shown on the approved
in order to reduce normal setback re-
q~uizement s.
6. Minimum front yard setbacks for lots with
predominate frontage on the curved radius of a
cul-de-sac shall be 25 feet if approved on the final
plat. (See appendix illustration no. 14)
7. No fence, wall, screen, billboard, sign, struc-
ture or foliage of hedges, trees, bushes or shrubs
shall be erected, planted or maintained in such a
position or place so as to obstruct or interfere with
the following minimum sight line standards.
(A) Vision at all intersections where streets
intersect at or near right angles shall be
clear at elevations between two and one-
half Feet and nine feet above the average
street grade, within a triangular area
formed by extending the two curb lines
from their point of intersection (see figure
4 of the subdivision ordinance) 45 feet,
and connecting these points with an imag-
inary line, thereby making a triangle. If
there are no curbs existing, the triangular
area shall be formed by extending the
property lines from their point of intersec-
tion 25 feet and connecting theses points
with an imaginary line, thereby making a
triangle.
8. Gasoline service station pump islands may
not be located nearer than 18 feet to the front
property line. An enclosed canopy for a gasoline
filling station may extend beyond the front build-
ing line but shall never be closer than ten feet to
the property line.
9. Where a future right-of-way line has been
established for future widening or opening of a
street or thoroughfare, upon which a lot abuts,
then the front or side yard shall be measured from
the future right-of-way line.
(Ord. No. 91500)
See. 12-32-3. Side yards.
1. On a corner lot used for one-family dwell-
ings, both street exposures shall be treated as
front yards on all lots platted after the effective
date of this Ordinance, except that where one
,street exposure is designated as a side yard by a
building line shown on a plat approved by the
planning and zoning commission containing a
side yard of 15 feet or more the building line
provisions on the plat shall be observed. On lots
which were official lots of record prior to the
effective date of this Ordinance, the minimum
side yard adjacent to a side street shall comply
with the minimum required side yard for the
respective districts.
2. Every part of a required side yard shall be
open and unobstructed except for accessory build-
ings as permitted herein and the ordinary projec-
tions of window sills, belt courses, cornices, and
other architectural features not to exceed 12
inches into the required side yard, and roof eaves
projecting not to exceed 36 inches into the re-
quired side yard.
