§ 450-31. Dimensional requirements in each district.

The Table of Dimensional Requirements in Each District is included at the end of this chapter.

A. 

The area, yard and building requirements in the Table of Dimensional Requirements in Each District shall apply for the specified zoning district, unless a more restrictive requirement for a specific use is required by § 450-34 or 450-35 or another section of this chapter. All measurements shall be in feet unless otherwise stated. See definitions of terms (such as lot width) in § 450-24.

B. 

Height. The following height provisions shall apply unless specifically stated otherwise for a specific use:

(1) 

The maximum height for structures shall be 35 feet, except as follows:

(a) 

Structures that are accessory to dwellings shall have a maximum height of 15 feet.

(b) 

See also § 450-61, Height exceptions.

(c) 

Within the TC or GC Districts, a principal building may have a maximum height of 60 feet.

C. 

Residential accessory structure setbacks.

(1) 

A three-foot-wide minimum side and rear yard setback shall apply for a permitted detached structure that is accessory to a dwelling, except:

(a) 

In no case shall a vehicle garage be set back less than five feet from the cartway of an alley.

(b) 

Structures shall not obstruct minimum sight clearance at intersections.

(c) 

No setback is required for a structure that is accessory to a dwelling from a lot line along which two dwellings are attached (such as a lot line shared by twin dwellings).

(2) 

A residential porch or deck that is open along sides not attached to the principal building may extend into a required side or rear building setback. (NOTE: An unenclosed front porch may intrude into the front yard by up to a maximum of 10 feet. Such front porch may be covered by a roof.) However, if a deck or porch is covered by a roof or is raised an average of more than five feet above the ground level, then the deck or porch shall meet the minimum side yard and shall be set back a minimum of 15 feet from a rear lot line. A setback is not required where two buildings are attached to each other along a lot line. Space under an unenclosed porch may be used for household storage.

(3) 

See § 450-35 for swimming pools. See § 450-35 for fences and walls.
