108-7-2 Projections

a. Projections permitted into a required yard setback. Every part of a required yard setback shall be open to the sky, unobstructed except for accessory buildings meeting the required setbacks of the zone in which the building is located. Setbacks for all buildings are measured from the property line to the outermost surface of a building's foundation wall. However, the following projections into the required yard setbacks are permitted for single-family dwellings (including attached garages) only: a. Belt courses, sills, and lintels may project 18 inches into required front, rear and side yard setbacks. b. Cornices, eaves and gutters may project three feet into a required front yard setback, five feet into a required rear yard setback, and two feet into a required side yard setback. c. Outside stairways, fire escapes, flues, chimneys and fireplace structures not wider than eight feet measured along the wall of a building, may project not more than five feet into a required front yard setback, ten feet into a required rear yard setback, and three feet into a required side yard setback. d. Unwalled porches including roof-covered patios, terraces, and balconies may project five feet into a required front yard setback. Where the required rear yard setback is 30 feet or greater, a projection of ten feet into the rear yard setback is allowed. Where the required rear yard setback is less than 30 feet, a five-foot projection into the rear yard setback is allowed. e. Cantilevers may project no more than two feet into the required front and rear yard setback. Cantilevers are not allowed in the required side yard setback. b. Projections permitted into a private street right-of-way. When a two-family dwelling, three-family dwelling, four-family dwelling, multi-family dwelling, condominium, or commercial structure is proposed to be built, and where the City's development standards allow a zero front yard setback, projections into private street rights-of-way may be permitted when the following limitations, requirements and standards are met: a. Projections shall be defined as and limited to architraves, awnings, balconies, bay windows, belt courses, canopies, columns, cornices, eaves, footings, gutters, lintels, marquees, pedestrian walkways, pediments, pilasters, railings, signs, sills, steps, and terraces. b. As determined by Ogden Valley City review agencies, the appropriate codes shall be applied and all projections shall be demonstrated as compliant with those codes. c. The Ogden ValleyCity building official shall apply International Building Code standards related to encroachments into public rights-of-way. d. Where a public utility easement does not strictly prohibit the location of a structure immediately adjacent to or within a private road right-of-way, a letter approving the projection(s), whether above grade or below, shall be provided by all utility service providers that have located utilities on the related side of the right-of-way or have plans, within two years, to locate utilities on the related side of the right-of-way. e. A letter approving the projection(s), whether above grade or below, shall be provided by the owner of the right-of-way. f. In addition to all required street improvements, high-back curb or other barrier, determined appropriate by the Ogden ValleyCity engineer, shall be installed to separate and sufficiently protect pedestrian areas or sidewalks from dangers associated with street travel lanes. g. Pedestrian areas or sidewalks shall not be less than four and one-half feet in width.
