Section 14.04.01 sets dimensional standards by district. Garages or carports facing a front yard right-of-way must be set back at least 25 ft (or 20 ft on lots with ≤100 ft average depth).
Lake Havasu City Code § 14.04.01 (Dimensional Standards) establishes minimum yard setbacks by zoning district through Table 4.01-1. A general rule: garages, carports, or any structure used to park vehicles that face a front yard right-of-way must be set back a minimum of 25 ft. On a lot with average depth of 100 ft or less, that drops to 20 ft. Lots with an average width of 80 ft or less may use a 5 ft side yard (10 ft if a corner lot). Setbacks vary by district — verify with the table or Development Services for any specific parcel. Section 14.04.06 (Neighborhood Protection Standards) allows side/rear setbacks to be increased by 10+ ft when needed for screening or buffering.
Setback violations are zoning violations under § 14.05.06; civil fines up to $500 per day plus required structural modification.
