(A) Number of buildings on a lot. In the R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 Districts, no more than one principal building may be located on a single lot. In all other districts, more than one principal building may be located on a lot provided that each building complies with the applicable requirements of Chapter 1246 (Zoning District Regulations) as though it were a principal building on an individual lot.
(B) Applicability of district regulations.
(1) Applicability of use regulations. No building, structure, or land shall be utilized for any use other than a use allowed as either a permitted or special use in the zoning district in which such building, structure, or land is located. Buildings, structures, or land may also be used for a temporary use or an accessory use in accordance with the requirements of § 1244.04 (Accessory Structures and Uses) and § 1244.05 (Temporary Structures and Uses).
(2) Applicability of lot and setback regulations. No lot or setback shall be reduced in dimension or area below the minimum requirements of this Code. Lots or setbacks created after the effective date hereof shall meet the minimum requirements established by this Code. All setbacks allocated to a building shall be located on the same zoning lot as such building.
(3) Applicability of bulk and height regulations. All buildings and structures erected after the effective date of this Code shall meet the bulk and height requirements for the zoning district in which the structure is located. No existing structure shall be enlarged, altered, reconstructed, or relocated in such a manner that conflicts with the requirements of the zoning district in which the structure shall be located.
(C) Visibility obstruction. Nothing in any residential district shall be erected, placed, or allowed to grow in a manner that will create a visibility obstruction for motorists, bicyclists, or pedestrians.
(1) Visibility obstructions at intersecting streets. No building, structure, or landscape element shall exceed three feet in height within the sight triangle area formed by 25 feet of the intersecting streets measured along the curb line, or edge of pavement where no curbs are present (see Figure 1242.05-A. Visibility Obstruction at Intersecting Streets).
(2) Visibility obstructions at driveways. No building, structure, sign, or landscape element shall obstruct the area within the sight triangle, between three feet and seven feet in height, on either side of any driveway. Beginning at the intersection of the lot line with the driveway, the sight triangle shall be formed by measuring ten feet along the lot line in the opposite direction of the driveway and ten feet along the driveway in the opposite direction of the lot line, then connecting the endpoints of the lines across the subject property (see Figure 1242.05-B. Visibility at Driveways).
