In the R-1 single-family district, the minimum front yard is 25 feet, minimum rear yard is 25 feet for principal buildings, and minimum side yard is 7 feet. Accessory buildings have smaller rear/side setbacks.
CRMC 17.18.040 sets R-1 Single-Family Residence District development standards. Minimum front yard for all buildings is 25 feet. Minimum rear yard is 25 feet for principal buildings and 10 feet for accessory buildings. Minimum side yard is 7 feet for principal buildings, 2 feet for accessory buildings in the rear one-third of the lot (7 feet elsewhere), and 25 feet for any building abutting a street. On reversed corner lots the street-side yard must equal the adjoining lot's front yard, and no street-side yard is less than 10 feet (17.52.110). Other districts (R-2, R-3, PD) have their own standards.
Building within a required yard without a variance is a zoning violation; the town can deny permits, require removal, or issue citations.
