This section is included in your selections.

A. Front Yard. The front yard shall have a depth of not less than 20 feet for dwellings and 24 feet for garages and carport entrances.

B. Side Yard.

1. Five feet for one- to two-story structures, plus five feet for three-story buildings; zero feet for attached single-family dwellings. The following additional provisions shall also apply to side setbacks:

a. Ten feet for street-facing side yards on corner lots when side street is a local or an alley; 15 feet when side street is a collector or arterial; 20 feet for garage and carport entrances.

b. Ten feet on one side for zero-lot-line lots.

C. Rear Yard. Ten feet; five feet for alley-access garages.

D. Additional Setbacks Adjacent to Residential Uses. To provide compatible building scale and privacy between developments, buildings in the RHD zone shall provide additional setbacks or “step-downs” adjacent to lower-density residential development.

1. This standard applies to new and vertically expanded buildings that exceed 30 feet or two stories, whichever is less, on lots adjacent to lots zoned RLD, RMD, or RMH.

2. The minimum side or rear yard setback shall be equal to the height of the proposed building less 15 feet. For example, a 35-foot-tall building would require a 20-foot setback.

3. Building height may “step-down” within the additional setback area; provided, that no portion of the building exceeds the allowed ratio in subsection (D)(2) of this section and the building meets the minimum side and rear yard setbacks otherwise required in this section.
