Lynn Haven's ULDC Sec. 4.02.02 sets yard and setback standards by Future Land Use Map category. Accessory structures must conform to the same setbacks (ULDC Sec. 5.01.02(D)) except as varied under Sec. 5.01.03.
Lynn Haven's land use is governed by Future Land Use Map (FLUM) categories rather than traditional zoning districts. ULDC Sec. 4.02.02 (Lot and Yard Standards) establishes setback requirements by FLUM category: Low-Density Residential (LDR), Medium-Density Residential (MDR), High-Density Residential (HDR), Mixed Use (MU), and various commercial categories. Typical LDR setbacks are 25 ft front, 7.5 ft side, 25 ft rear. Accessory structures (sheds, detached garages, carports, pole barns, hay sheds) must conform to the same setbacks under Sec. 5.01.02(D), except as relaxed in Sec. 5.01.03. Front-yard setbacks include any accessory storage (RVs, boats) under the accessory-use rule. Variances are processed under ULDC Chapter 9.
Construction violating Sec. 4.02.02 triggers Building Official stop-work order plus Sec. 1-7 fines up to $500/day until corrected or variance issued.
