For purposes of this Title, the following standards apply to agricultural accessory buildings:

1. Setbacks. Barns, stables, roofed stalls, shade structures, or other buildings and/or structures associated with the raising or containment of animals, must be located a distance of thirty (30) feet from public road or highway, fifty (50) feet from any primary residence located on separate adjoining lots, and twenty (20) feet from the residential dwelling of the person occupying the lot upon which the barn is located.

2. Agricultural accessory buildings shall also meet any required setbacks of the zone in which they are constructed.

3. Exceptions. Structures used for the raising, containment or shelter of animals that are ten (10) square feet or less (i.e., a dog house or rabbit hutch) and within a fully fenced yard area are exempted from the setback provisions listed in section 1 above, but shall meet any required setbacks of the zone in which it is constructed.

4. Pre-existing uses. Encroachment on the setbacks listed above by new residential additions or other residential uses shall not negate or prohibit the continued use of preexisting barns, stalls, or other structures associated with the raising or containment of animals. Furthermore, preexisting structures, uses and animal rights identified in this chapter are entitled to repair, maintenance, and replacement. Rights to utilize said structures and uses shall not expire and are specifically exempted from becoming a non-conforming use as set forth in Chapter 17.16 of the Lindon City Code.
