Victorville Municipal Code Title 17 sets residential setbacks: typically 20 feet front, 5 feet side, 15 feet rear. Corner lots need street-side setbacks. Variances available through Planning Commission.
Victorville Municipal Code Title 17 (Zoning) establishes minimum building setbacks varying by zoning district. Typical single-family residential (R-1) standards require 20-foot front yard setbacks from the property line (25 feet on arterial streets), 5-foot interior side yard setbacks, 10-foot street-side setbacks on corner lots, and 15-20 foot rear yard setbacks. R-2 and R-3 multi-family zones have similar front setbacks but may allow reduced side yards. Commercial and industrial zones follow separate standards, often with larger setbacks adjacent to residential. Accessory structures typically require 3-5 foot side and rear setbacks. Encroachments like eaves (3 feet max), porches, and bay windows have specific allowances. Setback variances require Planning Commission approval and demonstration of hardship. Check specific zoning of your parcel before building.
