In order to provide for the safety, comfort, convenience, and
welfare of residents and property owners of the City, setback lines
may be established by the Council along any portion of any street
or any other public thoroughfare. The setback lines shall be initiated
according to the provisions of this Chapter. The Council may, on its
own initiative, establish a setback line on any street or any other
public thoroughfare, the setback lines to be established by ordinance.
[Added by Ord. #1256, § 9200.1]
As used in this Chapter:
Shall mean a line established by the Council in accordance
with sections hereafter contained, between which and the established
street line no structure may be built. The location of such a setback
line may be determined by a distance from the front line of the lot,
the distance from an established street line, or a distance from the
City Engineer's official center line.
[Amended by Ord. #1256, § 9201]
Proceedings for the establishing of setback lines along any
portion of any street, or any other public thoroughfare, may be initiated
by petition in the following manner:
A petition may be filed with the Council asking that the setback
lines be established; such petition to submit plans, or sketches,
with descriptions designating the streets, or portions of streets,
or any other public thoroughfares, along which such setback lines
are sought to be established, and the distance of the setback line
from the established property line, street line, or official center
line of street as established by the City Engineer. The Council shall
thereupon instigate an investigation of such petition through the
City Manager, and, in case there is a City Planning Commission, it
shall be referred to the City Planning Commission for investigation
and report. Such report shall be had not less than two weeks from
the time the petition has been filed. Upon consideration of such petition,
which shall take due account of the public peace, health, safety,
convenience, and welfare of the community, the Council may in its
discretion establish such a setback line beyond which no building
shall be erected or constructed.
[Ord. #859, § 9202]
Before ordering the establishment of any setback line authorized
by this Chapter, the Council shall pass a resolution of intention
so to do, designating the setback line proposed to be established,
which resolution shall be published once in a daily newspaper published
and circulated in the City and designated by the City Council for
the purpose, and one copy of the resolution shall be posted conspicuously
upon the street in front of each block or part of block of any street,
public way or place where such setback line is proposed to be established.
Such resolution shall contain also a notice of the day, hour and place
when and where any and all persons having any objection to the establishment
of the proposed setback line may appear before the Council and present
any objection which they may have to the proposed setback line as
set forth in the resolution of intention. The time of hearing shall
not be less than 15 nor more than 40 days from the date of the adoption
of the resolution of intention; and publication and posting of the
resolution shall be made at least 10 days before the time of the hearing.
[Ord. #859, § 9203]
After the adoption of the resolution of intention, and prior
to the time the ordinance establishing a setback line in such proceedings
becomes effective, no building permit shall be issued for the erection
of any building or structure between any proposed setback line and
the street lines, and any permit so issued shall be void.
[Ord. #859, § 9204]
At any time not later than the hour set for hearing objections
and protests to the establishment of the proposed setback line any
person having any interest in any land upon which the setback line
is proposed to be established, may file with the City Clerk a written
protest or objection against the establishment of said setback line
designated in the resolution of intention. Such protest must be in
writing and be delivered to the Clerk not later than the hour set
for hearing, and no other protests or objections shall be considered.
All protestants may appear before the Council at the hearing, either
in person or by counsel, and be heard in support of their protests
or objections. At the time set for hearing, or at any time to which
the hearing may be continued, the Council shall proceed to hear and
pass upon all protests or objections so made and its decision shall
be final and conclusive. The Council shall have power and jurisdiction
to sustain any protest or objection and abandon the proceeding, or
to deny any and all protests or objections, and order by ordinance
the establishment of the setback line described in the resolution
of intention, or to order the same established with such changes or
modifications as the Council may deem proper.
[Amended by Ord. #976; Ord. #1170, § 9205]
From and after the taking effect of such ordinance establishing
any setback line and as to all setback lines established by this Code,
no person shall construct any building, wall, fence, or other structure
within the space between the front property line and the setback line,
so established, and the Building Department shall refuse to issue
any permit for any building or structure to be erected within such
space.
