Orlando I-P District Setback Standards

The City of Orlando defines specific dimensional requirements for the I-P: Industrial Park District to ensure adequate separation between industrial uses and neighboring properties. These standards apply to the placement of principal buildings on a development site.

Type of Setback	Minimum Requirement
Front Yard	35 feet
Side Yard	10 feet
Street Side Yard	25 feet
Rear Yard	10 feet

Additional Setback Provisions and Exceptions

The City of Orlando provides several specific modifications and usage permissions regarding these setbacks within the I-P: Industrial Park District.

Front Yard Usage and Projections

For properties in the I-P: Industrial Park District, the City of Orlando permits the rear half of the required 35-foot front yard setback to be utilized for vehicular use areas and signage [Figure 1C.LDC, Footnote 3].

Additionally, if the property is located within the "Traditional City" overlay, up to 30% of the frontage of the principal building may extend up to 20% into the required front yard. This extension is subject to approval by the appearance review official and must comply with the projections and recesses standards found in Orlando City Code Chapter 62.600 [Figure 1C.LDC, Footnote 18].

Rear Yard Reductions for Railroad Sidings

The City of Orlando allows for the total elimination of the rear yard setback under specific industrial circumstances. In the I-P: Industrial Park District, the rear yard setback may be reduced to zero when the property line coincides with a railroad siding. However, this reduction is prohibited if any trackage is located within 300 feet of a residential district [Section 58.293].

Separation of Buildings

In addition to property line setbacks, the City of Orlando requires a minimum distance between buildings on the same site. For the I-P: Industrial Park District, there must be a minimum separation of 10 feet between buildings or structures, with no less than 5 feet provided on each side of the property line [Section 58.516].
