A carport's supporting structure cannot stand in a required front or side yard unless it sits in an Open Structure overlay or is approved by variance. Carports built before March 1995 may be grandfathered.
Zoning Ordinance Sec. 513 prohibits a carport's supporting structure within the minimum front or side yards, except within Open Structure (OS) Overlay Zones or by variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Carports completed before March 8, 1995 are exempt if they stay at least five feet back from the curb, remain substantially open, are structurally sound, and do not encroach on rights-of-way or neighboring lots. Carports are accessory structures and otherwise follow Sec. 402 standards. A building permit is required.
A carport built in a required yard without OS zoning or a variance must be removed or relocated. Encroachment on a right-of-way or easement is never legitimized by grandfathering.
