红线 - property line
建筑红线 = property line *ref: WENLIN*
Definition: The legally described boundary line that indicates the limits of a parcel, tract, lot, or block for the purpose of delineating ownership and setback requirements.
This site (http://www.ci.eugene.or.us/PW/developmentreview/propertyline... talks about "property line change" but there is no mention of "退后红线". For "退后", my rough guess is "receding" but when I try to google for "receding property line" or "property receding line", there was no hit.

Based on Rod\'s suggestion, here\'s something about \"setback line\". I hope it helps:
\"Building setback line\" means the line indicated by the minimum permitted horizontal distance between the street right-of-way line and building(s) or any projections thereof, other than steps, eaves, chimneys, bay windows and fire escapes.

One more:
\"A line within a property and parallel to a property or ROAD line which delineates the required minimum distance between a DWELLING UNIT or some particular use of the property and that property or ROAD.\"

Comment: "Thanks to both Denyce and Rod!! I think setback property line is the right translatioin. I am proofreading a text in which this term was translated as retreating red line and I have no idea what is is at all. So your helps are life-saving!! "
