BD dimensional standards.

These are the letter-of-the-law limits for the base BD district. Overlays (historic, neighborhood plan, and similar) can tighten them; a specific address check resolves the overlays that actually apply.

Permitted uses in BD

  • single-familyby-right
  • two-familyconditional
  • multi-familyconditional

What the record can't settle

  • Side setbacks in BD are asymmetric — 8 ft on one side and 10 ft on the other (§ 11C-1706); corner lots need 20 ft on the street side (§ 11C-1707) — not modeled as a single number, verify placement with the town
  • Lots of 7,500 sq ft or less use reduced 25-ft front/rear setbacks and cannot be split (§ 11C-1706)
  • No structures except marina-related within 30 ft of the Bear Lake high-water contour (5,923.65 ft Rocky Mountain Power datum, § 11C-1703(A)) — shoreline proximity not checked here; verify against the contour
