LOT LINE SETBACKS ON PAN-HANDLE "FEE-SIMPLE" LOTS
The interpretation of front, rear and side yard setbacks for pan-handle lots is
dependent on the width and depth of the lot exclusive of the access area, where
the narrow portion is interpreted as the width of the lot, and the wider portion is
interpreted as the depth, as shown in the illustrations below. In this regard, front
yard setbacks are only adjacent to a road, rear yard setbacks are interpreted to
be behind the building envelope running parallel with the narrower lot lines, and
all remaining lot lines are interpreted as side yards. In cases where lot widths and
depths exclusive of the access area) are equal, or where lot lines are so irregular
that proper interpretation cannot be made, the City's Approving Officer may make
interpretation regarding location of front, rear and side yards for purposes of
siting buildings and structures.

YARD DETERMINATION AND SETBACKS FOR STRATA LOTS
Bylaw 3346, 2008 -Replaces 4.16 -June 24/08
The interpretation of front, rear and side yard setbacks for "strata lots" is
dependent on the requirements of the zone applicable to the subject lands, and
adjacency to a public road. In this regard, when adjacent to, and access is
provided from, a public road, the front, rear and side yard setbacks are
determined the same as they are for a "fee-simple lot", as shown on the left side
illustration below. However, where access to a "strata lot" is provided from a
private or common access lane, no front yard setback is required from the strata
lot line adjacent to the common access lane provided that the parking
requirements are met for each dwelling unit, in which case the setback area
between the common access lane and the dwelling is interpreted as a side lot
line. The rear yard is interpreted as the part of the lot that is directly opposite from
the strata lot line running parallel with the common access lane, whereas all other
strata lot lines are interpreted as a side yard setback area, as shown in the right
side illustration below. In cases where lot widths and depths (exclusive of the
access area) are equal, or where lot lines are so irregular that proper
interpretation cannot be made, the City's Approving Officer may make
interpretation regarding location of front, rear and side yards for purposes of
locating buildings on each bare land "strata lot".
