Coconut Creek, FL Building Setbacks & Zoning: Structure Height Limits (2026)

Height in Coconut Creek is capped in feet, and in the multiple-family district in stories as well. Section 13-338(d)(7) sets the RM-10 maximum at four stories or forty feet for apartments and two stories or thirty-five feet for townhouses. Townhouse groupings in that district are also held to six units in a row for two-story units and eight for one-story units under (d)(13).

The single-family districts are lower. RS-3, RS-4 and RS-5 cap buildings at 25 feet (sections 13-334, 13-335 and 13-336.1), RC-5 at 25 feet (section 13-336.2), while A-1, RS-1 and RC-8 allow 35 feet (sections 13-332, 13-333 and 13-337). MH-1 caps a mobile home unit at 25 feet (section 13-340).

Height feeds back into setbacks. Under section 13-331(c)(2), rear and side yards grow by one foot for every two feet of height above twenty feet, and a building on a waterway adds one foot of distance from the water for every two feet over twenty under (c)(1). Section 13-331(h) exempts spires, belfries, minarets, cupolas and domes not used for human occupancy, and bridges, chimneys, ventilators, skylights, water tanks, bulkheads and similar features, along with necessary mechanical appurtenances carried above the roof such as elevator penthouses and air-conditioning equipment.
