Front Yard Setback & Averaging Study

== Method ==
Front setback is the gap between the main building's footprint and the street-facing edge of the lot. We measure it in a lot-aligned frame from LiDAR building outlines. The statutory averaging follows regulation 10.5.40.70(1). We take the two nearest buildings on the same street, each within 60 m, and average their setbacks. Porches within permitted encroachments can read as smaller setbacks at grade. The per-lot table lets any figure be checked against a survey.
