Front Porch Encroachments

Currently only open steps and decks can encroach 4 feet into the front yard setback. Many homes in Town were built to the front setback and are unable to add covered front porches or covered stoops.

The draft code proposes allowing single-story unenclosed porches to encroach 8-feet into the front yard setback area.

The porch may not exceed 14-feet in height as measured from the average front grade. Uncovered steps may encroach the minimum distance required by Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC).

Do you feel the proposed 8-foot encroachment allowance for unenclosed front porches is a good distance? Is it not enough? Too much? Please explain why. *
