    Accessory Structures: R-200 & R-150: Zoning Comparison

    Uploaded by

    M-NCPPC
    This document summarizes and compares zoning standards for accessory structures in residential R-150 and R-200 zones. It outlines placement standards like minimum front, side, and rear setbacks. It also provides height limits for detached accessory structures of 50 feet currently but proposes reducing it to 35 feet. The rationale is to prevent accessory structures from being taller than the main building. It removes standards for maximum accessory structure coverage of the rear yard, as overall building coverage limits ground cover and size.

    Accessory Structures: R-200 & R-150

    Zoning Comparison
    An accessory structure is a building subordinate to, and located on the same lot with, a main building, the use of which is clearly incidental to that of the main building or to the use of the land, and which is not attached by any part of a common wall or common roof to the main building. In addition to any other meaning the word subordinate may have in this definition, on a lot where the main building is a detached house, except for an accessory agricultural building, subordinate means that the footprint of the accessory building is smaller than the footprint of the main building.

    Standard Method of Development for Detached House Building Type


    A. Placement R-150, R-200 (current) 65 15 12 7 N/A 20% R-200 (proposed) 65 15 12 7 N/A N/A Detached Accessory Structure (min) Front setback Side street setback Side setback, interior Rear setback, interior Rear setback, alley Coverage (max) Accessory structure coverage of rear yard

    B.

    Height 50 35

    Detached Accessory Structure (max) Overall building height

    Rationale for Changes Marked in Red Accessory structure coverage of rear yard The proposed zoning code removes this standard as overall building coverage controls ground cover and the size of accessory structures. Overall building height The proposed zoning code reduces the height to prevent accessory structures from being taller than the principal building.

    Other Dimensional Standards For development standards regarding principal buildings, including density, lot size and coverage, see the R-200 and R-150 Zoning Comparison fact sheet.
