From the FAQ up in the stickies:
Q: How far do I have to be from another city hall/NPC city?
A: 1000m

The center of the town, however some worlds have laxer restrictions on them. Primarily the 'adventure' worlds or moons so take that into account. However, regardless of where the center of town is you need to remember that you have your own 450 meter radius. Why cut that in half thanks to the NPC city?
Also, with yourself being so close to another cloning center, shuttleport, and starport you need to think about how high of a level you should go thanks to having pretty much everything you need 30 seconds away. The city I am leading now is the island 1k west of Coronet and because of this I don't really plan on ever getting rank 4 even if the spot opens. It just wouldn't be fair to mayors out in the boonies who have put in just as much effort.

On my server we have a city 900m from the DantMO, 950m from the Dant IO, 900m from Entha and 800m from Eisley. These measurements are from the center of the player city hall to the waypoint marker of the npc city.
Therein lies the confusion...

Because of the glut of player cities that currently exist, I am fairly certain that reaching level 4 will never happen. At least not for quite some time. Hence, my goal would be to get as close to an npc city as is allowed to take advantage of the npc ammenities that I will not be able to provide.

There is no exact measurment point to go from; the 1000m is as close to exact as it gets even if it is vague. If you are too close, it will tell you that before you can actually place the City Hall structure so it doesn't cost you a deed every time you try.
It is different around each city, and different shapes too.
On Kettemoor you can see where the line is around Theed. CTRL+M to turn on the overhead map and start to ride. You will see a -well- defined line of houses and empty space. Looks -very- much like the DEVs left some expansion room for Theed, and you can see exactly where it is.
