A. The following requirements are intended to provide exceptions or qualify and supplement, as the case may be, the specific district regulations set forth in this chapter herein:
1. In measuring heights, a habitable basement or attic shall be counted as a story. A story in a sloping roof, the area of which story at a height of four feet (4') above the floor does not exceed two-thirds (2/3) of the floor area of the story immediately below it and which does not contain an independent apartment, shall be counted as a half story;
2. Chimneys, elevators, poles, spires, tanks, towers, and other projections not used for human occupancy may extend above the height limit; and
3. Churches, schools, hospitals, sanatoriums, and other public and semipublic buildings may exceed the height limitation of the district if the minimum depth of the rear yards and the minimum width of the side yards required in the district are increased one foot (1') for each two feet (2') by which the height of such public or semipublic building exceeds the prescribed height limit.
