§ 1006-4.202. Policy—Declaration.  


Latest version.
  • This county is developing a master plan of streets and highways (and precise sections thereof) for the purpose of assuring ample transportation facilities for the present and future. The magnitude of this undertaking precludes these plans being completed in their entirety in time to fully guide the rapid development occurring within the county; and the surveys, hearings, map preparation, and requirements of law governing these matters necessitate that detailed plans be developed progressively. To conserve the public interest and to assure economies and public safety and welfare, it is imperative that necessary rights-of-way for streets and highways within the county be protected against encroachment by permanent physical improvements, the existence of which would make unnecessarily difficult or make impractical the retention or creation of thoroughfares, adequate in alignment, dimensions and vision clearance to serve the public needs, safety and welfare. Consequently, to deal effectively with the practical problem thus presented, it is necessary to establish certain minimum building line setbacks on a county-wide basis.
