| Setback Feet Side Rear |
Not confirmed for accessory structures specifically. For reference, the R-1 Single-Family Residential district principal-structure minimums are 10 ft side yard / 15 ft rear yard from the property line, and max lot coverage including accessory buildings is 40% in R-1 / 30% in A-R (Residential Agriculture); accessory-structure-specific setback figures need direct lookup in the 2025 zoning ordinance.
