In San Jose, regulations for setbacks vary depending on the zoning district. R-1 Zoning District: Front yard: 20 feet. Side yard: 5 feet.
Ing to Rule VII, Section 708 of the NBC, the required minimum setbacks for residential buildings are as follows: Front yard: At least 3 meters. Side yard: At least 2 meters. Rear yard: At least 2 meters.
A Setback Variance may be processed to provide limited reduction of the structure to the property lines. For example, a property owner may wish to construct a residence, but because a parcel's shape, size, or topography restricts the area that may be developed, a front, side, or rear yard encroachment may be necessary.
The exact amount a building needs to be set back from the property line will vary from one location to another. However, the required setback on the side is typically between 5 – 10 feet, while the front and back require around 10 – 20 feet at a minimum.
