NOTES:
[1] If the recorded plat of subdivision provides greater setbacks, the provisions of the plat shall prevail.
[2] The side yard of a corner lot and rear yard of a double frontage lot shall conform to the minimum front yard requirements of its district.
[3] In RR-1 district, the minimum lot size is 20 acres unless the lot meets minimum compliance with subdivision regulations.
[4] In R-3 district: First number represents front setback when an attached garage is designed for side entry. Second number represents front setback when attached garage is designed for front entry.
[5] In R-3 district: District allows zero-foot side yard setback on one side; 10-foot on other side with a minimum of 10 feet between principal buildings. Accessory buildings for a zero lot line dwelling shall not be located in the required 10-foot side yard.
[6] For single-family attached dwellings in M districts, a zero-foot side yard setback is allowed along the lot line separating the two units; a five-foot setback is required on the other lot line.
[7] In M-1 and M-1a districts, the minimum lot area of 4,500 square feet is “per unit.”
[8] Accessory structures shall not be located within a required front yard or beyond the front face of the principal structure, whichever is more restrictive. However, a minimum setback of 20 feet from all street rights-of-way shall be provided for roadside stands, garages and carports. If, in the judgment of the Planning Director, construction of a roadside stand, garage or carport is compatible with the neighborhood, in respect to availability of land for public sidewalks, right-of-way needs, and the location of structures within the block, then such construction may occur with revised minimum setback(s) as determined by the Planning Director.
[9] An unenclosed carport located less than six feet from the principal building may extend to within three feet of a side property line.
[10] Setback from Principal Building. No portion of an accessory building, except for a carport, shall be located closer than six feet to the principal building or another accessory building on the same lot. However, an unenclosed breezeway may be extended between the principal structure and the accessory structure for the purpose of providing a covered walkway. In no event shall the construction of a covered walkway or a detached carport located next to another building be deemed to join the principal and accessory structures into one principal structure.
[11] Maximum Height. Accessory buildings and structures shall not exceed 15 feet when the principal building is one story or 20 feet when the principal building is two stories or more.
[12] Reversed Corner Lot. On a reversed corner lot in a residential district, and within 15 feet of any adjacent property to the rear in a residential district, no detached accessory building or portion thereof located in a required rear yard shall be closer to the side lot line abutting the street than a distance equal to the least depth which would be required under this division for the front yard on such adjacent property to the rear. Further, in the above instance, all such accessory buildings shall meet the minimum side yard requirements of such adjacent property which coincides with the side lot line or portion thereof of property in any residential district.
[13] Attached Accessory Buildings. Attached accessory buildings, except for side yards for carports as outlined above, shall be located pursuant to the requirements for principal buildings. Attached garages and carports shall be located on a lot so that a minimum 20-foot-length “aisle” between the building and the street right-of-way line is provided.
[14] The minimum lot area in the R-4 district is the combined area needed for 10 contiguous lots.
