19.180.010 - Purpose.

The Building Setback Overlay Zone (X) is established to preserve and promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the community and to promote quality design consistent with General Plan policies by allowing for modifications to the setback standards established in a base zone. A building setback standard may be increased or reduced for the purpose of achieving design or public safety goals, or for avoiding possible detrimental impacts of building height or mass on neighboring properties or public rights-of-way. The Building Setback Overlay Zone may be applied to any zone and may be applied in conjunction with other overlay zones.
