Front, side and rear yard setbacks provided in the Area Yard and Height Requirements table of this chapter shall apply to buildings on all lots, unless otherwise specified.
(A) The front yard setback requirements of this chapter for dwellings shall not apply to any lot where the average setback of existing buildings located wholly or partially within 100 feet on either side of the proposed dwelling and on the same side of the same block and use district and fronting on the same street as the lot, is less than the minimum required front yard depth. In this case, the setback on the lots may be less than the required setback, but not less than the average of the existing setbacks on the aforementioned lots, or a distance of ten feet from the street right-of-way line, whichever is greater.
(B) Side and rear yard setbacks on residentially zoned lots which are legally non-conforming in size may be reduced proportionally to the percent reduction in the size of the lot from the minimum for the respective district, but said reduction shall not exceed 50% along any lot line, side or rear.
