1Setbacks are measured as per subsection (5) of this section. Where required setbacks under the International Building Code adopted by Clallam County differ from the minimum setbacks established in this table, the more restrictive regulation shall apply.
2Clallam County will allow for a maximum residential density of four dwelling units per acre without the transfer of development rights from lands zoned Agricultural Retention. Residential density greater than four dwelling units per acre up to the maximum allowed residential density of the zone (see above) shall require transfer of development rights from an Agricultural Retention zoned lot(s) pursuant to subsection (3) of this section. The requirement for the purchase or transfer of development rights shall not apply to the construction of up to two dwelling units on a legal lot of record created prior to July 28, 1998.
3Setback applies in the S(RDP) zone where abuts adjacent rural or urban residential land use and zoning districts.
(3) Transfer of Development Rights. This chapter designates the S(R-II), S(R-III), and S(R-IV) residential zones as receiving areas of transferable development rights from lands designated Agricultural on the Official Sequim-Dungeness Regional Comprehensive Plan Map, as amended, consistent with CCC 31.03.230(6)(a), Comprehensive Plan Policy 10. Table 33.19.050(2)(A) establishes the residential density for which transfer and/or purchase of transferable development rights shall be required within the S(R-II), S(R-III), and S(R-IV) zones. The actual transfer and/or purchase of transferable development rights shall follow the requirements as set forth under Chapter 33.26 CCC.
(4) Exceptions. The bulk, dimensional and general requirements set forth in subsection (2) of this section shall apply to specifically permitted and conditional uses tabulated in CCC 33.19.040, excepting the following:
(a) The maximum building height provided in subsection (2) of this section shall not apply to antennas; provided, that antennas are set back from all exterior property lines at a minimum ratio of one foot of setback for every three feet of vertical height as measured from grade.
(b) Antennas, satellite dishes, or other communication devices shall not be located in the front setback area.
(c) No structures, excepting fences and berms, shall be placed within the front setback area.
(d) Planned unit developments approved consistent with this title and CCC Title 29, Clallam County Land Division Code, may specifically delineate setback, bulk, height or dimensional requirements which differ from these standards.
(5) Measurement of Setbacks. All setbacks shall be measured from the lot line to the foundation of any building as defined in Chapter 33.03 CCC.
(6) Sight Clearance. In all zones, corner lots shall maintain, for safety purposes, a triangular area in which no physical obstruction, such as a structure, fence, tree or shrub higher than 36 inches above grade shall be permitted. Such triangular area shall have one angle formed by the front lot line and the side lot line separating the lot from the side street, the length of which lot line sides of the triangle shall be 15 feet. The third side of the triangle shall be a line connecting the two lot lines at the 15-foot point on each.
(7) Road Classifications. The purpose of establishing road classifications is to clarify the setbacks for development activities consistent with the requirements of this section. The following road designations shall apply to the following streets maintained by either City of Sequim, Clallam County, or Washington Department of Transportation that are within the Sequim urban growth area; all roads not specifically listed shall be classified as an access road:
