A building line is a designated boundary at a specific distance from the lot's front and/or sides beyond which the construction of buildings is restricted. It ensures uniformity and compliance with zoning regulations.
A setback line is a defined distance from a curb, property line, or other demarcated boundary within which no permanent structures may be constructed. Setback lines are crucial for urban planning, promoting safety, aesthetics, and privacy within a community.
