(a) A minimum rear yard setback of 25 feet shall be required, provided that rear yards adjacent to any Residential District or roads shall not be less than 75 feet. If a rear yard abuts a railroad right-of-way, the required width of such rear yard may be modified by the Planning Commission.
(b) Off-street parking shall be permitted to occupy a portion of the required rear yard, provided that there shall be maintained an unobstructed landscaped greenbelt planting area between the nearest point of the off-street parking area and the rear lot line. The width of the landscaped greenbelt planting area shall be at 15 feet. The Planning
Commission may modify this requirement and instead allow a reduction in width, based on evidence presented by the property owners and/or their agents, showing that the reasonable ability to comply with the requirement does not exist by reason of limited site area or natural feature characteristics. The Planning Commission may require evergreen screening or a screen wall in its place.
