§ 700-140. Measurements.

When any of the distance or measurement requirements listed below are referred to in the code, such distance or measurements will be determined in accordance with this section unless otherwise specified in the provision that contains the measurement.

(A)

Other jurisdictions. Any separation, distance limitation or setback required by the code shall be applied without regard to municipal boundaries, and shall be applied in the same manner as if the abutting jurisdictions were part of the city.

(B)

Distance separations. Minimum distance separations required by the code shall be measured in a straight line, using the shortest airline distance between two (2) or more locations being measured (i.e. zoning boundaries, properties, buildings, portions of buildings, entrances to buildings etc., as applicable to each specific provision).

(C)

Computation of time. The time within which an act is to be done shall be computed by excluding the first and including the last day. If the last day of a time period is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday nor legal holiday.

(D)

Fractional measurements.

(1)

[If fraction required.] When units or measurements result in a requirement of a fraction, any such fraction equal to or greater than exactly fifty (50) percent shall require the full requirement, unless otherwise provided in the code.

(2)

Density fractional measurements. When calculating density, any fraction of a unit shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
