Zoning
In Practice
The side setback determines how close your structure can be positioned to the left and right boundary lines of your lot. On corner lots, the side yard that faces a second public street may be subject to a larger setback requirement comparable to a front setback. Side setback distances vary by zone and sometimes by the type of structure being built — verify the applicable standard for both primary and accessory structures in your zone before positioning any construction.
