Ogden, UT Building Setbacks & Zoning: Setback Rules (2026)

C sets yard setbacks for the R-1-5, R-1-6, R-1-8 and R-1-10 single-family residential zones. Front setbacks run 30 feet in the R-1-10 and R-1-8 zones (reducible to 20 feet where 50% of frontage is already developed to an average), 25 feet in R-1-6 and R-1-5 outside the East Central Community (same 20-foot averaging floor), and 20 to 35 feet in the East Central Community. Side setbacks for the dwelling scale with zone: 10 feet in R-1-10 with a 24-foot combined two-side total, 8 feet in R-1-8 and R-1-6 with an 18-foot combined total, and 5 feet in R-1-5 with a 15-foot combined total; the East Central Community instead sets a maximum of 10 feet on one side and 24 feet on the other.

A corner lot's street-facing side setback is 20 feet, reducible to 15 feet with averaging. The rear setback for the main building is a flat 30 feet across all four zones. Accessory buildings get separate, tighter setbacks: 10 feet in R-1-10, 8 feet in R-1-8/R-1-6, and 5 feet in R-1-5, each reducible to as little as 1 foot if the structure sits at least 6 feet from the rear of the main building and, in R-1-10, 60 feet back from the front lot line, subject to a minimum distance to a dwelling on the adjacent lot. These standards sit alongside the zone's minimum lot area and lot width requirements in the same section.
