(A) General.
(1) Where a lot abuts upon an alley, one-half of the alley width may be considered as a portion of the required yard or setback.
(2) Where a lot is adjacent to a railroad right-of-way, contiguous side and/or rear yard setbacks may be reduced by 50%; provided said reduction is in accordance with applicable railroad standards.
(B) Front yards.
(1) The front yard setback requirements for dwellings shall not apply on any lot where the average setback of any existing buildings located wholly or in part within 100 feet on each side of such lot within the same block and zoning district, and fronting on the same side of the street, is less than the minimum required setback. In such cases, the setback on such lot may be less than the required setback, but not less than the average of the setbacks of all existing buildings within 100 feet on each side of such lot within the same block and zoning district, and fronting on the same side of the street.
(2) Where a lot fronts on two non-intersecting streets, or two intersecting streets forming an angle of 60 degrees or less, front yards shall be provided on both streets.
(C) Side Yards. When the intersection of two streets forms a corner lot, then the following criteria for side setbacks shall apply:
(1) For detached single-family residential uses, the side setback on the side street may be reduced by 25%. Provided that if the lot is located on a cul-de-sac, sharp curve, has three street frontages, or a configuration such that the side of the proposed house cannot align with adjacent houses, then the Zoning Administrator may reduce the required setback amount by 25%.
(2) For all uses other than detached single-family residential, the side setback on the side street shall be not less than the required front setback.
