The purpose of this chapter is to establish requirements for yard areas, setbacks, and encroachments. These requirements, in conjunction with other applicable requirements of the Zoning Code, are intended to ensure open areas around primary structures; maintain clear visibility for traffic safety and pedestrian access, buffer between property and land uses; establish natural and visual light; establish air space privacy; and provide for landscaping, and recreation areas.
