Delano Development Code §20.10.300 requires front, side, and rear setbacks to conform to the regulations of the underlying zone district. Setback specifics vary by zone (R-1, R-2, R-M, etc.) and use type.
Architectural projections (eaves, awnings, chimneys, balconies, bay windows) may project up to 30 inches into any required front, rear, or side setback (§20.10.30.1.f for residential; §20.10.30.2.d for nonresidential). Ground-mounted mechanical equipment may project 4 feet into a rear yard and 2 feet into a side yard if fully enclosed.
Construction into setbacks without variance approval is a zoning violation and may require structural modification or demolition.
