Setback Feet Side Rear Not confirmed. A search result appeared to describe a "within 3 ft of the main building counts as part of the main building for setback purposes" rule, but that language traces to the City of Berkeley, California's municipal code, not Berkeley County, SC — it was NOT used here to avoid misattributing a fact to the wrong jurisdiction. Berkeley County SC's own accessory-structure setback table needs direct primary-source lookup before publishing any number.

Wind Load Zone Berkeley County design criteria require a minimum of 133 mph wind design ("D" seismic for commercial, "D-2" for residential"), per the county's own building-regulations documentation — a real, county-published figure rather than a generic estimate, but still confirm which code edition/map this is tied to (and whether it applies county-wide or only near the coastal/Charleston-adjacent portion of the county) with a licensed SC engineer or the county building official before treating it as final.
