On lots less than 20,000 sq/ft in size, corrals and animal enclosures (except for pastures as defined by this Title) for small animal species as permitted in this Title, dogs, and cats shall be set back a minimum of twenty-five (25) feet from any primary residence located on separate adjoining lots.
b. On lots 20,000 sq/ft or larger in size, corrals and animal enclosures (except for pastures as defined by this Title) for all animals shall be set back a minimum of fifty (50) feet from any primary residence located on separate adjoining lots.
2. Exceptions. Enclosures used for the raising or containment of animals that are ten (10) square feet or less and within a fully fenced yard area are exempted from the setback provisions listed in section 1(a) and 1(b) above.
3. 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 corrals, pastures, agricultural accessory buildings or other enclosures associated with the raising or containment of animals. Furthermore, preexisting corrals, pastures, agricultural accessory buildings or other enclosures, uses and animal rights identified in this chapter are entitled to repair, maintenance, and replacement. Rights to utilize said enclosures, 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.
