Yorba Linda sets front, side, and rear setbacks by zone in YLMC 18.10.090 Table 18.10-2; in R-A, RLD, and R-E zones side yards must be 10 percent of lot width, at least 10 feet and no more than 20 feet.
YLMC 18.10.090 establishes property development standards for residential zones in Table 18.10-2, with front, side, and rear yard setbacks varying by zone. In the R-A, RLD, and R-E estate zones, side yard setbacks shall be 10 percent of the lot width, but not less than 10 feet and need be no more than 20 feet. In the R-U, R-M, R-M-20, and R-M-30 zones, interior side yards shall total 20 feet cumulatively, but no side yard may be less than five feet. Front setbacks apply to all frontages facing public streets, and in subdivisions may be reduced up to 25 percent per lot if the development average meets the zone minimum. Confirm exact front and rear figures with the Planning Division.
Building within a required setback without an approved variance or adjustment is a zoning violation subject to correction and enforcement.
