Chandler, AZ Building Setbacks & Zoning: Lot Coverage Limits (2026)

J. ' That sits alongside the CCD's other zero-lot-line standards in the same section: buildings may be built at a zero-foot setback from the front, side and rear property lines (§ 35-3204(A)), provided wall openings and exterior materials still meet Building and Fire Code requirements, and height is capped at 30 feet at the setback line, rising to 45 feet only within a 45-degree upward sloping plane (§ 35-3204(B)). Together these standards let CCD property owners build lot-line-to-lot-line on their historic in-fill parcels, the point, stated in § 35-3200, is to preserve the tight storefront-to-sidewalk character of the district's origin as part of the City's historic town-site, rather than apply suburban setback and coverage ratios to a compact downtown block.

The 100 percent figure is not a citywide standard; it applies only to the roughly six-block CCD boundary defined in § 35-3201, and any building that can't meet stormwater or Building/Fire Code requirements at full coverage has to reduce footprint accordingly, or seek Planned Area Development rezoning under § 35-1700 for relief the CCD standards don't otherwise provide.
