***   As required in Chapter 154 of the City Code, Sign Regulations
1   The parking lot setback may be reduced to ten feet when the one-half right-of-way dedication of the principal or minor arterial street is a minimum of 90 feet.
 
      (2)   Maximum impervious surface, see § 155.350.
      (3)   Screening, see § 155.348.
      (4)   Landscaping, see § 155.349.
      (5)   Parking, see §§ 155.370 et seq.
      (6)   Signs. Signage shall be in accordance with Chapter 154 of the City Code except that the foundation or support structure of a freestanding sign must be completely enclosed and such enclosure shall have an exterior facing consisting of materials which shall match the exterior construction materials of the primary building with which it is associated and serves to identify.
   (B)   The following requirements are in addition to those in division (A). Where there may be a conflict, the requirements herein shall prevail:
      (1)   Front setbacks prevailing. Where adjoining structures existing at the time of adoption of this article have a greater setback than that required by this article, the front setback of a new structure shall conform to the prevailing setback in the immediate vicinity. The Building Official shall determine the necessary front yard setback in such cases. In no case shall a building be required to be set back more than 50 feet, except that shopping centers in Zone 2 shall not be required to be set back more than 60 feet.
      (2)   Side and rear setbacks, party walls. Buildings may be excluded from side and rear setback requirements if party walls are used and if the adjacent buildings are constructed as an integral structure. This shall not permit structures closer to R districts, however, than required under division (A)(1) above.
