What is the side yard depth requirement in zones "A", "R1", "R2", and "M1"?

In zones "A" (Agricultural), "R1" (Single-family Residential), "R2" (Multi-family Residential), and "M1" (Light Industrial) in Guam, the side yard depth requirement is established to promote adequate spacing between buildings, ensuring accessibility, sunlight, ventilation, and overall aesthetic values of the community. The specified requirement of 8 feet serves as a standard that helps maintain these important aspects for land use and development.

This 8-foot side yard depth allows for sufficient buffer space for both structural placement and land utilization, promoting safe and functional residential and commercial environments. It reflects the planning philosophy aimed at mitigating overcrowding and ensuring that properties have enough separation to comply with safety regulations and enhance the quality of life for residents and businesses in these zones.
