(A) Front yards. The front yards heretofore established shall be adjusted in the following cases:
(1) Where 40% or more of the frontage on one side of a street between two intersecting streets is developed and the buildings on this side of a block have observed a front yard greater in depth than herein required, new buildings shall not be erected closer to the street than the average front yard so established by the existing buildings provided that no building shall be required to have a front yard setback of more than 50 feet.
(2) Where 40% or more of the frontage on one side of a street between two intersecting streets is developed with buildings that have a front yard less than the required, new buildings shall not be erected closer to the street than the nearest building on the block.
(B) Structural projections. The ordinary projections of chimneys and flues, buttresses, eaves, overhangs, open-unenclosed steps or stoops up to five feet in height may extend into required yards for a distance of not more than two feet in the required side yard and not more than five feet in the required front yard.
