“Lot” means a measured portion of a parcel or tract of land which is described and fixed on a plat or other subdivision filed for record or a legally described parcel of land conveyed pursuant to federal law, including conveyances under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.

A. Corner Lot. A lot located at the intersection of two or more streets where the angle of intersection of the lot lines abutting those streets does not exceed 135 degrees.

B. Double Frontage Lot. A lot other than a corner lot with frontage on more than one street.

C. Flag Lot. A lot where access to the public road right-of-way is provided by a narrower extension of the lot encompassing a driveway (commonly referred to as a flag stem).

D. Lot Depth. The distance between straight lines connecting the side lot lines, measured between the midpoint of such lines, except that such measurement shall not extend outside the lot lines of the lot being measured.

1. When calculating flag lot depth, the narrower extension of the lot that provides access to the public road right-of-way (flag stem) shall be excluded.

E. Lot Frontage. All property abutting the right-of-way of a dedicated street, private street, or road easement measured along the right-of-way between the side lot lines of a lot. In no case shall the line along an alley be considered as lot frontage. For parcels that are only legally accessible by navigable waterways, the lot frontage shall be all property that abuts said waterway at mean high water (waters subject to tidal action) or ordinary high water (waters not subject to tidal action).

F. Lot Line. The fixed boundaries of a lot described by survey located on a plat or other subdivision filed for record.

G. Lot Line, Front. That boundary of a lot measured along the edge of the right-of-way of a dedicated street, private street or road easement which abuts that line. In the case of a corner lot, either line which meets the above description provided the other is considered to be a side lot line. For parcels that are only legally accessible by navigable waterways, the front lot line shall be that boundary of the lot measured along the edge of said waterway at mean high water (waters subject to tidal action) or ordinary high water (waters not subject to tidal action).

H. Lot Line, Rear. That boundary of a lot which is most parallel to the front lot line and does not intersect the front lot line. In the case of a triangular lot, a line 20 feet in length within the lot parallel to and at the maximum distance from the front lot line.

I. Lot Line, Side. That boundary of a lot which is neither a front nor rear lot line.

J. Lot Width. The distance between straight lines connecting front and rear lot lines at each side of the lot, measured between the midpoints of such lot lines except that such measurement shall not extend outside the lot lines of the lot being measured.

1. When calculating flag lot width, the narrower extension of the lot that provides access to the public road right-of-way (flag stem) shall be excluded. [Ord. FY2020-02 §3, 2019; Ord. 93-64 §5, 1993; Ord. 90-15 §2, 1990. Formerly §16.20.120].
