What is a setback and why is it important?
Setbacks are a component of zoning regulations to provide uniformity in development and provide a buffer area between one use and another, such as a separation between commercial buildings and single or double family homes. Setbacks are defined in the following sections of the Revised Code: Dwelling districts – Section 731 Commercial districts – Section 732 Industrial districts – Section 733 Special use districts (such as for churches, schools, wireless facilities, etc) – Section 735 Setbacks are also designated to provide access to parcels in the event of an emergency and for storm water drainage.
