(A) All accessory buildings, uses, and structures shall require a permit. Accessory buildings, accessory uses, and accessory structures shall be permitted in all districts, provided each is customarily incidental and subordinate to a principal use. There must be a principal structure on the lot, or an adjacent lot under the same ownership, prior to the issuance of a permit for an accessory building or structure. Accessory buildings, uses, and structures shall not be permitted in front yards.
(B) No use that is to be carried on in an accessory building or structure shall be in violation of the permitted uses in that district.
(C) All permanent accessory buildings, uses, and structures shall be setback from all lot lines three feet.
(D) The height of accessory buildings and structures, except agricultural buildings and structures and those located in the Industrial District, shall not exceed the height of a single-story principal building or structure, and, for all principal buildings or structures greater than one story, shall not exceed 75% of the height of the principal building or structure, except that in all cases the height of an accessory building or structure shall not exceed 25 feet.
(E) In no situation shall an accessory building or structure be larger than the principal structure.
(F) Except as provided elsewhere in this code, no accessory building or structure shall be constructed and used as a dwelling. Provided, however, that one residential unit for a caretaker may be permitted in conjunction with any active industrial establishment.
