Warner Robins, GA Building Setbacks & Zoning: Setback Rules (2026)

' R-1 and R-2 Residential districts both require a 40-foot front setback along arterial or collector streets, 20 feet along minor streets, a 25-foot rear yard, and a 10-foot interior side yard. R-3 and R-4 one- and two-family homes drop the interior side yard to 8 feet, while single-family semi-detached lots need 16 feet, but only on one side per the table's double-asterisk note. Multi-family buildings in R-3, R-4, and R-MH use a sliding side yard formula: 10 feet plus 2 additional feet for each story above two, capped at 20 feet, and any dwelling unit facing the side yard must sit at least 20 feet off the side lot line.

R-AG Agricultural-Residential lots need a 30-foot rear yard and 35-foot side yard, wider than the standard residential table. Commercial setbacks loosen: C-1 and C-2 require a 40-foot front and 25-foot rear setback but no side yard unless the lot abuts a residential district, in which case 25 feet applies for commercial uses. C-3 Concentrated Commercial waives front and rear setbacks entirely for commercial uses. M-1 and M-2 industrial districts need 50 feet in front and 30 feet in the rear. Corner lots must meet the front yard requirement on both intersecting streets under the table's footnote, and Section 83 lets the planning and zoning commission impose special setbacks along specific thoroughfares by ordinance amendment.
