Temple Terrace residential setbacks in the RS-2 single-family zone are 25 feet front, 7.5 feet side, and 20 feet rear. Corner lots require a 15-foot street-side setback, and accessory structures must be at least 5 feet from rear and side lines.
Temple Terrace Land Development Code establishes zoning setback requirements for each residential district. RS-1 estate lots require 30-foot front, 10-foot side, and 25-foot rear setbacks. RS-2 standard lots require 25-foot front, 7.5-foot side, and 20-foot rear. The historic Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club neighborhood, developed in the 1920s Mediterranean Revival style, has platted setbacks that may differ from current code and are governed by the historic plat. Pools and decks may encroach into the rear setback up to 10 feet. Variance requests go to the Board of Adjustment.
Setback encroachment stop-work order until variance granted or structure removed. Recorded code-compliance lien if unresolved. Variance application fee $350 with public hearing.
