Englewood Article XI sets minimum side and rear yard setbacks, including a three-foot side and ten-foot rear minimum in one-family districts.
In the R-F One-Family Residence District, the minimum area adjacent to each side line must be at least three feet, and the minimum rear yard area is ten feet. Planting strip requirements apply where lots adjoin residential or non-residential uses, with a 15-foot minimum buffer adjacent to residential property and an eight-foot buffer adjacent to non-residential property. Each Englewood zoning district has its own schedule of setbacks set out in Article XI District Regulations and enforced through the zoning permit process.
Encroachments into required setbacks can trigger denial of certificates of occupancy, fines, and removal orders.
