1. When fifty percent (50%) or more of the frontage on one (1) side of the street between two (2) intersecting streets is improved with buildings that have a front yard which is greater or less than the required front yard in the district, no building shall project beyond the average front yard so established; provided, however, that a front yard depth shall not be required to exceed fifty percent (50%) in excess of the front yard otherwise required in the district in which the lot is located.
2. On lots having double frontage, the required front yard shall be provided on both streets.
