# Woodridge R-1 / R-2 / R-3 accessory buildings | BV360 Pre-Flight

Woodridge regulates detached accessory structures by height, lot coverage, rear-yard coverage, and minimum distance from lot lines.

## Plain English

Detached accessory structures must comply with the applicable district height and bulk limits and may not be located in an easement. They must generally be at least 3 feet from rear and interior side lot lines.
All detached accessory structures in a rear yard may cumulatively cover no more than 40% of the required rear yard. Accessory structures are not allowed in a required front or exterior side yard except as expressly permitted by the encroachment table.
