C.   The following regulations shall apply to development within the Residentially Zoned Districts and single-family residential development in the Agricultural/Open Space and Valley Junction Historic Business Districts.

1.   Zoning District Abbreviations:

2.   Residential Building Types: See section 9-5-7, "Building Form Regulations And Zoning District Compatibility For Residential Districts", of this title for descriptions of residential building types.

3.   Measurement: All setbacks or separations are measured from the closest part of the foundation of the building or structure.

a.   For structures with setbacks of seven feet (7') or larger:

(1)   Building projections are allowed to encroach up to two feet (2') from each building into minimum setback or separation; however, no part of any structure, including eaves and overhangs, may be closer than five feet (5') to a property line.

(2)   Building projections that are allowed to encroach within a setback cannot exceed a distance of four feet (4') from the foundation line. Should the projection exceed four feet (4'), any setbacks and building separations will be measured from the closest part of the projection for the extent of the projection.

(3)   No window well or any ground mounted mechanical equipment may be closer than three feet (3') to a property line.

b.   For structures with setbacks of less than seven feet (7'):

(1)   Building projections are allowed to encroach up to two feet (2') from each building into minimum setback or separation as long as they meet all applicable Building Codes on fire resistive construction.

(2)   No window well or any ground mounted mechanical equipment may be closer than two feet (2') to a property line.

c.   Setbacks from private streets and drives:

(1)   Unless otherwise noted, the minimum setback for attached or detached garages facing a public or private street or interior vehicular roadway as measured perpendicularly from the garage opening to the closest point of the sidewalk, or back of curb of the intersecting private street or interior vehicular roadway (whichever is more restrictive) shall be twenty five feet (25') or greater, except that, when the vehicle entrance for a garage faces an alley, the setback from the alley shall be a minimum of twenty feet (20') or as necessary to accommodate the parking of a vehicle on the driveway without the vehicle encroaching into the alley.

(2)   Unless otherwise noted, the minimum setback for a residential structure shall be fifteen feet (15') from the interior edge of the sidewalk or the back of curb of an adjacent private street or interior vehicular roadway (whichever is more restrictive). This setback shall apply to all structures, including accessory or ancillary structures such as maintenance sheds, clubhouses or leasing offices.

d.   See footnotes in tables 7.2 and 7.3 of this subsection C for setbacks on outdoor living areas for footprint lots.

4.   Building Height: Maximum building height for single family dwellings is three (3) stories.

8.   Minimum Setbacks And Bulk Regulations For Principal Buildings Of Non-Residential Uses (Daycares, Churches, Schools) In Residential Zoning Districts:

9.   Bulk Regulations, Minimum Setbacks And Building Separations For Accessory Buildings And Structures In Residential Districts:

a.   See chapter 14, "Accessory Structures", of this title for additional standards and construction requirements for accessory buildings and structures.

b.   Accessory buildings and structures (other than fences and walls) that meet the minimum separation distance from the principal building are considered detached accessory structures. In such case, the detached accessory structure must meet the setback requirements as noted in table 7.5 of this subsection C9.

c.   Accessory structures (other than fences and walls) that do not meet the minimum separation from the principal structure are considered part of the principal structure, no matter if they are physically separate from the principal structure. In such case, the accessory structure must meet the setback requirements as noted below.

(1)   Accessory structures (other than fences and walls) that do not exceed thirty inches (30") in height as measured from grade to the highest element and any railing or trellis designed to be open fifty percent (50%) or more may follow the detached accessory structure setbacks, no matter their proximity to the principal structure.

(2)   Accessory structures that are considered part of the principal structure and which exceed thirty inches (30") in height must be setback a minimum of twenty feet (20') from the rear property line(s) and must meet the pertinent side and front yard setback of the principal structure.

d.   Accessory structures cannot encroach into any buffer area or perimeter setback.

e.   In a footprint lot development, detached accessory structures are not allowed within footprint lots and are only allowed for development use when located on common development property. Fences are allowed on or within the boundaries of individual footprint lots for purposes that serve the occupants of the dwelling. Fences are only allowed on common development property for purposes that serve the development as a whole. See Chapter 14 of this Title (Fences), Section 4 (Fence Height and Required Setback) for additional fencing requirements for footprint developments.

f.   Accessory buildings over one thousand (1,000) square feet, which are only permitted in Residential Estate, Agricultural/Open Space zoning and for religious, institutional, or civic uses within residential districts, shall meet the minimum front yard setback of their respective zoning district and be set back a minimum of twenty feet (20') from the side and rear property lines.

1.   Zoning District Abbreviations:

2.   Measurement: All setbacks or separations are measured from the closest part of the foundation of the building or structure.

a.   Building projections are allowed to encroach up to two feet (2') from each building into minimum setback or separation.

b.   Any part of the structure, including eaves and overhangs, must meet all applicable Building and Fire Codes on fire resistive construction based on distance from the property line or proximity to adjacent buildings.

c.   Building projections that are allowed to encroach within a setback cannot exceed a distance of four feet (4') from the foundation line. Projections that exceed four feet (4') from the foundation line will need to meet required setbacks and separation distances.

d.   No window well or any ground mounted mechanical equipment may be closer than three feet (3') to a property line.

e.   Except for the following, all detached accessory structures must meet primary building setback and separation requirements.

(1)   Trash and mechanical enclosures may use off-street parking setbacks for their respective district along the side and rear yards, however no enclosure may be located closer than five feet (5') from a property line.
