Dwellings.
Carports may be permitted as a conditional use to locate in one (1) side setback
area of a primary dwelling but may not extend into the primary dwelling's
required front setback area. If there is an extension of the primary dwelling or
other construction within any side setback area of the primary dwelling, locating a
carport in that same setback or in the opposite setback area is not allowed.
Carports may be constructed to the adjacent property line if the structure meets
building code. Twelve (12) feet maximum height limit is imposed on carports
locating in the side setback area. Height is defined as the vertical distance
measured from the average grade of the site to the highest point of the roof.
Carports are required to obtain a building permit and to submit site plans that
