(A) Location and height. No accessory structures, signs, or temporary structures, shall be located in any required front yard, unless the lot is situated such that a shoreline constitutes the rear lot line. On such waterfront lot, an accessory structure may be placed in the front yard, provided that the minimum front setback is met and any such structure visible from a public road is fully screened with opaque vegetation that would be expected to grow to the height of the building. On a corner lot, no accessory structure shall be located nearer a corner lot line than the minimum side building setback required in the district. No accessory structures within 15 feet of a lot line shall be more than 15 feet in height.
(B) Not permitted prior to principal use or structure. No accessory use or structure shall be permitted on a lot until:
(1) The principal use or structure has previously been established; or
(2) Construction has begun on the principal structure and is diligently pursued.
(C) Ingress and egress part of principal use. The route of ingress and egress to a use is considered to be accessory to the principal use and therefore required to be in a zoning district which permits the principal use which it serves.
(D) Conversion of an existing principal single-family dwelling into an accessory dwelling unit. An existing principal single-family dwelling may be converted into an accessory dwelling through the zoning clearance process and meeting the criteria in Section 154.2.117 ACCESSORY DWELLINGS. The zoning clearance is complete when the required Certificate of Occupancies are issued for both dwellings.
