All districts
Art. IV, sec. 5 sets citywide accessory building/structure standards. In residential districts an accessory building/structure is incidental to and not used commercially or rented; an enclosed garage counts as part of the primary structure even if detached, and (in residential districts) so does a covered patio or porch. Enclosed accessory buildings are barred in front of or to the side of the main building; otherwise they share the primary building's setbacks, except the rear setback for an accessory building/structure in a single-family or two-family district may drop to 5 ft (with exceptions), and any accessory structure must sit at least 3 ft from another structure on the property. No accessory building/structure may exceed one story or 15 ft in height, except in an SFR or nonresidential district where the cap rises to 28 ft (SFR barns/stables are separately capped at 28 ft to the roof peak, set back at least 25 ft from a property line and 100 ft from an existing residence on adjacent property). Accessory buildings/structures cannot exist without a main building or primary use already in place. Confirm the district, site component, and current art. IV, sec. 5 text with the Leander Planning Department before acting.
