Measurements between public entrances and legal parcel boundary lines shall start at “measuring point” of the Commercial Cannabis Business and proceed in a continuous line to the closest property line of the Public Street, measured perpendicular to the Public Street. The measurement shall then continue along the property lines of the public street front(s), and in a direct line across intersections along the shortest pedestrian route towards the “measuring point” of the separated use until it reaches such “measuring point.” See illustration below.

Where a public or private school, Public Park, Private Park, or residential use or Residential Zone are directly adjacent to or across a Public Street from a Storefront Retailer or Non-Storefront Retailer, the separation distance shall be measured between the respective “measuring points” without regard to a Public Street or intersections. See illustration below.
