least equal to the depth of the rear yard setback applicable
to the zone; provided that, where the exterior lot line abuts
a public way, the buffer shall be at least equal to the depth
of the front yard setback required by the zone. The depth
of the buffer shall be measured perpendicular to the
boundary of the exterior property line setback. If such a
buffer is provided, interior setbacks may be flexible and
determined in accord with ECDC 20.35.030.

cally delegated to the City legislative body, is not subject to referendum, and shall take effect
five (5) days after passage and publication of an approved summary thereof consisting of the
title.
