A. Distances. Distances shall be measured by following a straight line, without regard to intervening buildings, from the nearest point of the property or parcel upon which the proposed use is to be located, to the nearest point of the parcel, buffer or wetland delineation line, ordinary high water line or the zoning district boundary line from which the proposed use is to be separated.

B. Fractions. When any measurement technique for determining the number of items required or allowed results in fractional figures, any fraction less than 0.5 of the applicable unit of measurement shall be disregarded, and fractions of 0.5 or larger shall require the next higher unit of measurement.

C. Value. All improvements to a building or a lot are cumulative. Where more than one improvement has occurred or is proposed, whether said improvements occurred previously, simultaneously, or separately, the cumulative value of all improvements made shall be the measurement used for the value of improvements.

D. Density. See LMC 18A.60.110.

E. Net Buildable Area. “Net buildable area” means gross land area, measured in acres, minus land area in roads and other rights-of-way, surface storm water retention/detention/water quality facilities, critical areas, critical area buffers, and land dedicated to the City.
