1 Front Yards on Built-up Blocks. In any district where more than 40% of the lots in a block are occupied by existing structures, the minimum depth of a front yard shall not be less than the average depth of the front yards of the existing structures on the adjoining lots on either side; or where there is an existing structure on adjoining lots on only one side, the minimum setback shall be the same as the existing structure. 2 See Illustrations of Corner Lots below for applicability of setbacks on corners 3 Where a maintenance easement is required along a side lot line, the minimum side yard setback shall be increased to 15 feet on that side. 4 Maximum Front Yard In C-3 District Core Area. In the core area of the C-3 District, new construction shall comply with the maximum front yard requirements specified below: a) A front yard not exceeding a depth of five (5) feet shall be required when there is not an existing building along the block front within 100 feet. b) When the lot is within 100 feet of an existing building on both sides, the depth of the front yard shall not be greater than the average depth of the adjacent front yards. c) When the lot is within 100 feet of an existing building on only one side, the maximum depth of the front yard for the lot in question shall be determined by adding five feet plus the depth of the adjacent front yard of the existing building, and dividing by two. 5 However, when two adjacent buildings do not share a common wall, they shall maintain a minimum separation of 20 feet. 6 When a property abuts a state route, the greater setback shall apply. 7 Residential uses in the MU district shall comply with R-2 district setbacks. |
