What are the required building setbacks?
Building setback requirements vary depending on the zoning of your property. Call the Planner Phone at (707) 565-1900 during planning phone hours to verify zoning for a specific parcel. If the parcel is 1 acre or larger, Fire Safe Standards require a setback of 30 feet from all property lines, unless reduced by the Fire Marshal. Greater building setbacks or building envelopes may apply if required as part of a subdivision approval when the lot was created. This information is available at the PRMD office.
