(1) When the height of the building on such commercially zoned lot exceeds thirty-five feet, the minimum side and rear yard shall be increased one foot for each foot of height exceeding thirty-five feet; and
(2) When the length of the building on such commercially zoned lot exceeds seventy feet, the minimum side or rear yard, whichever is adjacent to the wall which exceeds seventy feet, shall be increased by one-half foot for each foot of length of the wall exceeding seventy feet; provided that, in no case shall the minimum required side or rear yard exceed 120 feet in depth.
