What setbacks apply to this property in Surprise?

Setbacks come from the dimensional chart for the base district (Sec. 106-2.2 through Sec. 106-2.5 for residential, Sec. 106-6.3 for commercial, Sec. 106-7.3 for employment). Confirmed live this session: RR requires a 30-foot front and rear setback and a 20-foot side setback (Table 106-2b); R-1 and R-2 use a sliding scale by lot category with front setbacks from 10-30 feet, rear setbacks from 10-30 feet, and side setbacks from 0-20 feet depending on lot size (Tables 106-2c, 106-2d); commercial districts require a 35-foot arterial setback and a residential-adjacency setback of 20-45 feet depending on the district (Table 106-6a). In the Surprise Heritage District's Residential Overlay, minimum front setback is 15 feet with a 30-foot maximum front setback for attached and detached product, side setbacks range from 0 feet (common wall) to 20 feet depending on product type, and rear setbacks run 12 to 20 feet depending on product type. PAD-zoned parcels use the setbacks in their own PAD document instead. Confirm the exact figure for your lot category and district with Community Development, Planning and Zoning (623-222-3000). This pack covers incorporated Surprise only.
