Henderson's development code establishes setback requirements for all structures based on the zoning district. Residential districts typically require 20-foot front setbacks, 5-foot side setbacks, and 15-foot rear setbacks. The development code includes detailed setback tables for each zoning district.
Setback requirements vary by zoning district under Henderson's Title 19 development code. Single-family residential districts typically require 20-foot front yards, 5-foot side yards, and 15-foot rear yards. Corner lots have additional side-street setback requirements. Covered patios and specific accessory structures may have reduced setback allowances. Variances require Board of Adjustment approval.
Building within setbacks without a variance results in stop-work orders, fines, and required modification of non-compliant structures.
