Ahead of any building plan near Neylandville, look at the Commerce zoning map early: the zoning district decides setbacks, lot size and uses. Covered here for Commerce: which office sets the rules for a lot, matching a lot to its zoning district, and when a variance or rezoning comes up.
Reading the Commerce zoning map for one lot

For rural land toward Campbell, the county may have its own zoning, or none at all; confirm with the county office.
