Not retrieved — Barnwell County's Land Development Regulations (PDF) likely contain a district setback table but the specific side/rear figures for accessory structures were not retrievable from search excerpts. Note: Barnwell County zoning code reportedly does not clearly address ADUs/accessory structures as a distinct use category.
