Dimensional Requirements <br /> Table 904-8: Required Setbacks, R-2 District <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. The front setback shall be applied as a “build-to” distance except in instances of “setback <br />averaging” as allowed by #2, below. <br />2. If two or more existing houses on the same side of the block have front setbacks other than the <br />standard, the setbacks for the remaining lots on that side of the block shall be the average setback <br />of the existing houses. <br />3. A covered front porch or a covered front stoop, with a lateral enclosure of not more than a <br />balustrade, may encroach into the front yard setback by up to 6 feet. <br />4. If an adjacent house has a front yard facing the side street, then the corner side setback shall <br />equal the front setback of the adjacent house. <br />5. If primary vehicle access is provided from the rear, driveways may have a zero (0) foot setback <br />from the rear property line. Any driveway accessing the front yard shall comply with the front yard <br />setback applicable to the principal structure. <br />6. Shared driveways may have zero (0) foot setback from the side property line subject to the <br />conditions outlined in Section 915.060. <br />7. Driveways may have a zero (0) foot setback from the corner side property line when providing <br />primary vehicle access from the corner side yard.
