Within the 2011 Zoning Ordinance (Ord. 11-04-09), there are three (3) provisions for Front Yard set-back encroachment: 1. J-Swing Garage - a 10’ encroachment to a minimum 15’ Front Yard Setback (see pages 20 - 23). 2. Front Porch - a 10’ encroachment to a minimum 15’ Front Yard Setback (see pages 6 - 7, 16 - 17). 3. Where a 60-foot R.O.W., allowing a 5’ reduction to the Front Yard Setback to a minimum 15’ Front Yard Setback (see Section 4.07(J) of the Zoning Ordinance). This option is available in subdivisions with a 60-foot R.O.W., with or without street trees*. With street trees, the reduction is built in to the 20’ Front Yard Setback.
While the encroachment options listed above are applicable for various setbacks, this booklet covers all of the above options, and every instance where an encroachment is allowed, illustrated for lots with a 20’ Front Yard Setback.
*Older subdivisions with 60 R.O.W. may not be allowed street trees, depending upon the design of the site infrastructure.

Please note that PDs often have amended development standards that differ from the Zoning Ordinance Standards. In those instances, the PD takes precedence.

Front porches are not required, but are encouraged on single- family detached dwellings to create a sense of community, provide “eyes-on-the-street”, give scale, and provide character to neighborhoods. A Front Yard Encroachment is allowed for any front porch (10’ max. encroachment, with a 15’ min. setback). The Front Porch Standards for increased encroachment options are found in the Zoning Ordinance Section 4.07.16. Standards include that they are fully covered, open on at least two sides, have decorative columns, and have a 7’ min. depth (see width requirements at right). Where a Planned Development (PD) applies, refer to the PD standards.
