(Ord. 794, 6-10-2008)
B. S Districts:
1. A building line of any structure in S districts shall be set back eighty feet (80') from the centerline of main arterial thoroughfares, but in no event nearer than thirty feet (30') to the right of way.
2. For corner lot buildings, the setback requirements shall apply to both streets.
3. On streets within a developed area primarily serving the development, the setback may be reduced to thirty feet (30').
C. Corner Lots:
1. On corner lots in the R districts, there must be a conforming front yard on the one side and a ten foot (10') wide yard on the intersecting side.
2. On corner lots in the C and M districts that rear upon an S or R district, a ten foot (10') yard must be provided along the side street. Where a lot in a C or M district sides upon an S or R district lot, the side yard required in that S or R district must be provided along the boundary line on the C or M district lot.
D. Multiple Uses: There may be two (2) or more related multi- family, hotel, motel or institutional buildings on a lot; provided, that:
1. The required yards be maintained around the group of buildings; and
2. Buildings that are parallel, or that are within forty five degrees (45°) of being parallel, be separated by a horizontal distance that is at least equal to the height of the highest building; and
3. They are subject to compliance with the building code.
E. Existing Nonconformities: Those parts of existing buildings that violate yard regulations may be repaired and remodeled, but not reconstructed or structurally altered. (1996 Code § 17.36.060)
F. Exceptions:
1. In the S and R districts, no side or rear yards are required behind the front building line as to accessory buildings; accessory building setback shall be at least sixty feet (60') from the front property line; yard requirements remain for the main building; provided, however, that at least a ten foot (10') wide passage shall be provided on the lot to the rear yard, either from a street or from an alley. Such passage may be sodded or landscaped and not necessarily used as a driveway.
2. On main or major public thoroughfares or arterial streets, the front yard requirements shall remain as set forth in subsections A through E of this section, regardless of subsection F3 of this section.
3. Where, on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title 1 , forty percent (40%) or more of a frontage was occupied by two (2) or more buildings, then the front yard is established in the following manner:
a. Where the building furthest from the street provides a front yard not more than ten feet (10') deeper than the building closest to the street, then the front yard for the frontage is and remains an average of the then existing front yards.
b. Where subsection F3a of this section is not the case and a lot is within one hundred feet (100') of a building on each side, then the front yard is a line drawn from the closest front corners of these two (2) adjacent buildings.
c. Where neither subsection F3a nor F3b of this section is the case and the lot is within one hundred feet (100') of an existing building on one side only, then the front yard is the same as that of the existing adjacent building.
4. Sills, belt courses, cornices and ornamental features may project only one foot (1') into a required yard. (1996 Code § 17.36.070)
5. Open fire escapes, fireproof outside stairways and balconies opening upon fire towers and the ordinary projections of chimneys and flues into a rear yard for a distance of not more than three and one-half feet (31/2'), when so placed as to not obstruct the light and ventilation, may be permitted by the building inspector/code enforcement officer.
6. Terraces which do not extend above the level of the ground (first) floor may project into a required yard, provided these projections are distant at least two feet (2') from the adjacent lot line.
7. No side yards are required for dwellings that are erected above commercial and industrial structures.
8. If side yards are provided where not required (i.e., in C and M districts), they must be at least five feet (5') wide.
9. Open frame carports may be erected within fifteen feet (15') from the face of curb. No garage, buildings or enclosed structure of any nature other than an open frame carport will be permitted. The fifteen foot (15') setback will be measured from the closest support column, and no overhangs greater than two feet (2') will be permitted. (1996 Code § 17.36.070; amd. 2002 Code)
