setback

setback, n. Real estate. The minimum amount of space required between a lot line and a building line (a 12-foot setback). • Typically contained in zoning ordinances or deed restrictions, setbacks are designed to ensure that enough light and ventilation reach the property and to keep buildings from being erected too close to property lines. [Cases: Zoning and Planning 64, 252. C.J.S. Zoning and Land Planning §§ 50, 117.]
