Full Breakdown

Little Chute's zoning code sets yard setbacks individually for each of its zoning districts rather than a single village-wide standard. In the RC conventional single-family district, single-family detached dwellings need a 25-foot front yard, side yards of seven feet each (15 feet combined), and a 20-foot rear yard. The newer RD dense modern single-family district is tighter, 20 feet front, six feet per side, 12 feet rear, while commercial districts like CH require a 40-foot front setback. A zoning permit under § 44-462 confirms compliance before construction, and building within a required setback without approval is enforceable under § 44-466.

Violations & Fines

Encroaching on a required yard setback without zoning approval violates § 44-466; the village can seek an injunction or order a structure vacated or removed, with daily forfeitures.
