After elimination of the side yard on one side of the lot, there shall remain a side yard on the other side of the lot not less than 15 feet to permit access to the rear yard area; and the elimination of a side yard shall not be permitted in any business zone where it will reduce the side yard adjacent to a lot with a residential building thereon being used solely for residential purposes.

No sign structure shall project closer than 25 feet to the curb line where curb and gutter have been installed, and, where not installed, the ditch line on a major thoroughfare as noted above; however, in no event shall the sign structure project onto the right-of-way.
