Full Breakdown

Table 11.03.061A sets minimum building setbacks for each single-family district. In Suburban Residential (SR), the standard lot requires a 30-foot front setback, 12-foot interior side, 20-foot street side, and 25-foot rear setback on a 15,000-square-foot minimum lot. Estate Residential (ES) uses the same 30-foot front and 25-foot rear but a larger 15-foot interior side. These standards apply to newly platted single-family lots and replats creating two or more buildable lots after the chapter's effective date.

Violations & Fines

Building within the platted setback lines without an approved variance or the code's limited tree-preservation reduction (up to 5 feet, requiring administrator approval) is a zoning violation enforceable through the city's building permit and code compliance process.
