The minimum lot area, minimum ground floor area, minimum lot width, maximum lot coverage, minimum depth of front yard, minimum depth of rear yard, minimum width of each side yard, and the maximum building height for each district shall be as specified in its respective chapter.
A. Lots which abut on more than one street shall provide the required front yards along every street. The remaining yards will become side yards for the setback purposes of this ordinance. (The intent of this ordinance is to encourage access to be located on the minor street.)
B. In any residential district (R-1, R-2, R-3) where at least 25% of the lots in a block are occupied by existing residential structures, the minimum depth of a front yard may be the average of the depths of the front yards of the existing residential structures.
C. No principal structure in an agricultural or residential district, except those used by essential services or agriculture, shall exceed the height specified in the respective zoning district, and no accessory building shall exceed 16 feet in height above average ground level, unless approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals. No structure in a business or industrial district shall exceed 50 feet in height above average ground level. The Board may authorize a variance to this height regulation in any district if:
1. All front and side yard depths are increased one foot for each additional foot of height; or
2. The structure is any of the following and does not constitute a hazard to any established airport, television and radio towers, church spires, belfries, monuments, tanks, water and fire towers, stage towers and scenery lofts, cooling towers, ornamental towers and spires, chimneys, silos, elevator bulkheads, smokestacks, conveyors, and flag poles.
