Interior lot

An interior lot is the default case of the zoning rules: a single street frontage, side lot lines running back from the street, and a rear lot line shared with the lot behind. The standard yard set assumes this geometry — front yard along the street where required, side yards where required, rear yard at the back joining the block's interior seam of open space.

Most of the city's lots are interior lots, and most of the bulk rules read most naturally for them; corner and through lots are the marked cases with special provisions. When a rule seems to assume facts a lot does not have — a rear lot line, a single front — the lot's classification is usually the explanation.
