Summary

In the City of Oregon, Ohio's Advanced Manufacturing District, Codified Ordinances Section 1145.04 sets a 40-foot minimum front setback measured from the right-of-way, a 25-foot minimum side setback and a 25-foot minimum rear setback, each of which extends to a 60-foot setback where the lot borders single-family residential zoning.

1145.04 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. ... (a) Minimum Front Setback. (1) Building and Parking: Minimum forty (40) feet - measured from the right-of-way line ... (b) Minimum Side Setback: Twenty-five (25) feet, unless adjacent to a property zoned for single family purposes, then a sixty (60)-foot maximum setback shall apply

(c) Minimum Rear Setback: Twenty-five (25) feet, unless adjacent to a property zoned for single family purposes, then a sixty (60)-foot maximum setback shall apply

Full Breakdown

Because Oregon zones the city by district rather than under one blanket dimensional table, the yard setback that applies to a lot depends on which district it sits in. 11. 04(c) sets a 25-foot minimum rear setback; both increase, as printed, to a 60-foot setback where the Advanced Manufacturing District lot is adjacent to a property zoned for single-family use. 06 requires an 82-foot minimum setback from the curb for any site fronting Dustin Road or Isaac Streets Drive, and bars parking within the first five feet of the property line next to the right-of-way, while otherwise allowing parking within the setback under site plan review. A property owner should confirm which zoning district a lot carries before relying on either figure.

Violations & Fines

Building closer to a property line than the applicable Section 1145.04 or Section 1138.06 setback is a Zoning Ordinance violation. Section 1105.99 treats it as a misdemeanor punishable by up to $100 plus court costs, with each day the violation continues after the owner receives notice counted as a new, separately punishable offense against the owner, builder or contractor responsible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the front setback in Oregon's Advanced Manufacturing District?
Section 1145.04(a) requires a minimum 40-foot setback for both the building and any parking area, measured from the right-of-way line, with the exact parking layout fixed during Site Plan Review under Section 1145.11.
How close can a building sit to a single-family lot in the AMD?
Not closer than 60 feet. Section 1145.04(b) and (c) set a 25-foot minimum side and rear setback generally, but that setback grows to 60 feet wherever the Advanced Manufacturing District lot is adjacent to property zoned for single-family use.
Is the setback the same in the Dustin Road commercial corridor?
No. Section 1138.06 sets an 82-foot minimum setback from the curb for the Dustin Road C-4 Business District, far larger than the Advanced Manufacturing District's 40-foot front setback, and separately bars parking within five feet of the right-of-way line.
Who decides where setback lines fall on a specific lot?
The Zoning Inspector applies Section 1145.04 or the applicable district-specific chapter to the lot, and any site-specific parking placement or setback question in the Advanced Manufacturing District is resolved during Site Plan Review under Chapter 1151.
