§ 8106-3. Purpose and use of setbacks.  


Latest version.
  • The setback regulations are intended to prevent the overcrowding of land, provide privacy, preclude narrow, unusable spaces between buildings and provide clear areas for fire safety purposes, both to retard the spread of fire and to enable emergency personnel to reach side and rear areas of buildings. The setback regulations are intended to apply to buildings with foundations, and other structures such as those for parking and storage, whether or not they have foundations, and to open storage. No required setback shall be used for parking or storage of any vehicles, nor for open storage or garages or any other structures except as allowed by Sections 8106-8.6 and 8106-5.3, or as specifically provided for in this chapter.
