In a Class U-2 Use District a private garage may be erected on the same lot with the main building, but shall not provide storage for more than one automobile for each 3,500 square feet of lot area, unless the Planning Commission shall find that the storage of a greater number of automobiles will not depreciate the surrounding property in value, and that the garage is needed to accommodate the occupants of the main building and will not prove dangerous to the public safety. Private stables are permitted in connection with a farm use of property.
(b) A residence in an accessory building only if located at the rear of the main building already erected and only for persons employed on the premises and their immediate families.

(g) An enclosure for the care of poultry, pigeons, bees or rabbits for the use of the occupants of the premises, upon special permit from the Planning Commission, if and so long as the Planning Commission shall find that the size, design and location of such enclosures will not cause unnecessary damage, property depreciation, nuisance or annoyance to neighboring residents.
