(A) Number of buildings per lot. In any district, not more than one principal structure and its customary accessory uses shall be located on a single lot of record, with the exception of principal structures designed and platted as a single unit under single ownership of control, such as a multi- family residential project, a shopping center, or combined industrial operations.
(B) Corner lots. On a comer lot, the front lot line shall be the lot line having the shortest dimension along the street right-of-way. The required front yard setback shall apply to each yard that abuts a thoroughfare.
(C) Yard encroachments. No portion of a principal structure, whether open or enclosed, including garages, porches, carports, balconies, roofs, or platforms above normal grade level, shall project into any minimum front, side or rear yard. Accessory structures may not be located closer than five feet to the side and rear property lines in any district.
(D) Vision clearance areas. No structure or improvement, including landscaping or signs, shall be erected, placed, planted, allowed to grow, or maintained so as to interfere with a vision clearance area between a height of three feet and ten feet above the center line grades of the intersecting street, driveway, or alley. A vision clearance area shall be established for all streets, whether public or private, in one of the following manners.
(1) Corner Lots. The clear sight triangular area is formed by the street right-of-way lines and the line connecting points 25 feet from the intersection of such streets right-of-way lines, or in case of a round or cut property comer, from the intersection of the street right-of-way lines extended; or
(2) Lots adjacent to a railroad crossing. The clear sight triangular area is formed by the side lot line coterminous with the railroad right-of-way, the street right-of-way line, and the line connecting points 25 feet from the intersection of such lines; or
(3) Lots with a driveway, abutting an alley or driveway. The two clear sight triangular areas are formed by the street right-of-way line, both sides of either the alley right-of-way or of the surface edge of the driveway, and the line connecting points ten feet from the intersection of the street right- of-way line and driveway or alley lines extended.
(E) Side and rear yard requirements for non-residential uses abutting residential districts. Non- residential buildings or uses shall not be located nor conducted closer than 40 feet to any lot line of a residential district except that the minimum yard requirements may be reduced to 50% of the requirement if acceptable landscaping or screening, which must be approved by the Planning Director, is provided. Such screening shall be a masonry or solid fence between four and eight feet in height, maintained in good condition and free of all advertising or other signs; adequate landscaping; or a combination of fence and landscaping planted on the residential side of the fence. Landscaping provided in lieu of a wall or fence shall consist of a strip of land not less than 20 feet in width planted with an evergreen hedge or dense planting or evergreen shrubs not less than four feet in height at the time of planting. In order not to obscure traffic visibility either type of screening shall not exceed three feet in height in any required front yard setback for the abutting residential district. When used in combination, the width of the required landscaping buffer and the number of plantings may be reduced by half, provided the fence is opaque (solid) and constructed of a material that is compatible with the principle non-residential building/use.
(F) Bulk use standards. The minimum lot area, minimum width of lot, minimum depth of front yard, minimum width of each side yard, and minimum depth of rear yard for each district shall be as follows:
