(a) Where the provisions of Sections 357.08 to 357.10 do not apply, rear yards and interior side yards extending to rear yards for required windows in buildings or parts of buildings not of Residential Occupancy or Institutional H Occupancy Classification, shall have a width at any given height of not less than three (3) inches for each foot of such height measured from the bottom of such yard as actually constructed, or from the grade level, whichever is higher, but in no case shall any such yard be less than five (5) feet in width. As used in this section "the width of a rear yard" means the distance from the extreme rear wall of the main building to the rear lot line, and "the width of a side yard" means the distance from the extreme side wall of the building to the adjoining side lot line.
(b) In the case of irregular, triangular or segment- shaped lots, the required width of such yard shall be interpreted to mean the average width, provided that no such yard shall be less in width at any point than three (3) feet.
(c) The half-width of an alley abutting and parallel to a lot line may be considered as part of a yard provided along such lot line.
(d) An interior side yard which does not extend to a rear yard of required dimensions shall be deemed to be an outer court and shall conform to the applicable provisions of Section 357.16.
