McKinney residential setbacks vary by zoning district. Typical SF-5 (single-family 5,000 sf lot): 20 ft front, 7 ft side, 15 ft rear. SF-10 requires 25 ft front, 8 ft side, 20 ft rear. Corner lots have 15 ft street side-yard setback.
Zoning Ordinance Article IV establishes district regulations. Accessory structures have reduced setbacks: 3 ft side and rear for sheds under 120 sf. Eaves may project 2 ft into setbacks. Planned Development (PD) districts override base standards. Easement setbacks are additional and do not overlap with zoning setbacks.
