Grand Prairie UDC Article 6 establishes setback requirements by zoning district. Front entry garages must be set back minimum 12 inches from the nearest front building line. Accessory structures must be 10 feet from primary structure.
Grand Prairie's Unified Development Code Article 6 (Density and Dimensional Requirements) establishes minimum setback requirements for all zoning districts. Setbacks vary by district and structure type. Front entry garages must be set back a minimum of 12 inches from the nearest front building line. The distance between a primary structure and an accessory structure must be at least 10 feet. Rear-yard setbacks apply to accessory buildings, carports, and other structures. The UDC specifies minimum lot width, depth, and area requirements for each residential and commercial zoning district. Modular structures must meet the same dimensional, setback, lot coverage, and floor area ratio (FAR) requirements as the district in which they are located.
Building in setback area: stop work order, required to modify or remove. Variance process available through Board of Adjustment.
