(Ord. 960-06 § 38)
A. 
Except where otherwise required by this code, every building in the R-2 zone shall be subject to the following yard requirements:
1. 
Front. The minimum building setback for residential units fronting either on a private street or a public street shall be twenty feet from the property line. At least forty percent of a second story shall be set back twenty-four feet from the front property line.
2. 
Side (Interior). Interior side yard setbacks shall be required as follows:
a. 
For all lots with two or less dwelling units, the minimum interior side yard setback shall be three feet;
b. 
For all lots with three or more dwelling units, the minimum interior side yard setback shall be five feet.
3. 
Side (Street Side). The minimum building setback for residential units having side yards on a private or public street shall be ten feet from the property line. A street facing garage or parking area shall be set back at least twenty feet from the street right-of-way line.
4. 
Rear.
a. 
A rear yard shall be provided with an average depth of ten feet; provided, however, that no structure shall be built within five feet of the rear property line.
b. 
For purposes of calculating the average setback (see Diagram 17.48.130(a)):
i. 
The side yard setback area on both sides of the lot are excluded; and
ii. 
The average setback area shall be calculated measuring the rear building line of all structures. Where a portion of a structure is set back more than twenty feet from the rear property line, a building line not exceeding a depth of twenty feet is presumed and shall be used as the measurement in the calculation.
B. 
Setback Averaging.
1. 
Purpose. The intent of setback averaging is as follows:
a. 
To provide greater design flexibility in the treatment of interior and exterior spaces; and
b. 
To provide for a setback area equivalent in size to that which would be achieved without the use of averaging, and to ensure that no setback dimension is reduced to a point where it adversely affects the health, safety, and welfare of the neighborhood.
2. 
Method of Calculating Average Setbacks. The following rules shall apply in determining the average setback required (see Diagram 17.48.130(a)):
a. 
The average width shall equal the lot width excluding required side setbacks plus the minimum width of a driveway extending along the side of the building, if any.
b. 
The average area of the setback must equal the square footage resulting from multiplying the required average setback by the average width.
c. 
No portion of a setback area exceeding twenty feet from the rear property line shall contribute to the total required area of the average setback.
d. 
No building line shall extend closer than the five-foot minimum setback.
e. 
Setback areas shall be clear from ground to sky, except for allowable encroachments pursuant to Section 17.44.020.

Diagram 17.48.130(a)
1.
The depth of a setback is measured from property line to the building line (wall).
2.
Where the building line of the second story extends over (cantilevers) the first story, the second story defines the setback.
3.
Building setbacks in excess of 20′-0″ will be counted at 20′-0″.
4.
Where a structural support, such as a post for an entry or a deck is present, this support will define the building line.
5.
No building line shall extend closer to a property line than the 5-foot minimum setback.
6.
Refer to Section 17.44.020 relating to permitted encroachments into required setbacks.
C. 
Building Separation. The minimum distance between any buildings or accessory structure(s) on a site shall be six feet.
These yard requirements shall not require the modification of buildings or structures existing prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, but shall apply to all new modifications or additions to such buildings or structures.
