Belvedere setback requirements
Lekua resolves a parcel’s jurisdiction and zone, then draws this envelope on the site plan with its citation in the title block. Enter a Belvedere address and the setbacks arrive already drawn.
The envelope
What the numbers below make on the ground. Shown for the first district in the table; the rest follow the same geometry at their own dimensions.

The hatched band is the yard — ground the code gives up. Drawn not to scale: the yards are proportional to each other, so the deepest one fills the band and the rest follow. The dimensions carry the real numbers, and the export draws them on the actual parcel outline.
Belvedere setbacks by district
Every row is produced by the same function the exporter calls, so this page cannot drift from what the drawing gets. The citation under each row is what prints on the sheet.
Belvedere BMC §19.24.060 (summary; full text Ch. 19.44–19.68), R-15: front 10 for structures ≤15 ft tall within the first 40 ft (15 ft above — ring at the one-story tier); side 10 or 10% of average lot width, not less than 5 (ring at 10); rear 20 abutting another lot (15 street, 10 water/alley). Conditional uses: 10 ft min all yards. Verify with City of Belvedere Planning.
What the export says about this table
Belvedere reviewed against BMC §19.24.060 (captured 2026-06-12). Front yards are height-tiered and are drawn at the one-story tier; upper stories step back further. Full-text standards (Ch. 19.44-19.68) beyond the summary table are not captured — confirm with City Planning.
Printed verbatim on every Belvedere export — the same words the reviewer signed off, not a summary of them.
Setbacks are one layer of the Belvedere site plan
The same address search returns the parcel boundary, 1–2 ft contours, building footprints, CAL FIRE defensible-space zones, the soil profile, four-season sun, and a native plant palette matched to the site. See everything Lekua resolves in Marin County→
Belvedere setback FAQ
What are the residential setbacks in Belvedere?
In R-15 the code sets a 10 ft front yard, 10 ft sides, and a 20 ft rear yard. The full table is below, transcribed from Belvedere BMC §19.24.060 with the citation attached to every row. This table has passed independent review, so Lekua draws the setback envelope on the site plan for a Belvedere parcel.
Does Lekua draw the setback envelope for Belvedere?
Yes. Belvedere is one of the jurisdictions whose table has passed review, most recently on 2026-07-24, so the envelope is drawn on the DXF and the PDF site plan with its citation in the title block.
Where do these Belvedere setback numbers come from?
They are transcribed from the adopted code — Belvedere BMC §19.24.060 — and this page renders them by calling the same function the exporter calls, so what you see here is what the drawing gets. Zoning changes; verify against the current code and with the planning department before submittal.
Can I get a CAD base map for a Belvedere parcel?
Yes. Enter any Belvedere address and Lekua returns a layered DXF base plan and a PDF site report — property lines, 1–2 ft contours, building footprints, CAL FIRE defensible-space zones, soil, seasonal sun, and a native plant palette matched to the parcel, alongside the zoning determination.
