(1) Single-family homes;
(2) Two-family homes; and
(3) Professional activities.

(2) Fraternal lodges and private clubs;
(3) Kindergartens or day nurseries;
(4) Nonresidential off-street parking;
(5) Public utility substations or exchanges;
(6) Funeral homes and mortuaries; and
(7) Churches and similar places of worship.
(d) Minimum Lot Area and Width,. There shall be permitted zoning lots not less than 8,000 square feet in land area for detached single-family dwellings, 12,500 square feet for attached two-family dwellings, and 6,000 square feet each for attached single-family dwellings in excess of two. Minimum lot widths shall be 80 feet for residential uses and 75 feet for nonresidential uses. Zoning lots for nonresidential uses shall have a minimum land area of 10,000 square feet.
(e) Minimum Dwelling Size. Dwellings shall have a minimum floor area of 900 square feet of living area.
(f) Maximum Building Height. No residential or commercial structure shall exceed 35 feet in height.
(g) Minimum Yards.
(1) Front. There shall be a minimum depth of not less than 25 feet.
(2) Side. There shall be a minimum width on either side of not less than eight feet, with the combined width of both side yards to be not less than 18 feet.
(3) Rear. There shall be a minimum depth of not less than 25 feet.
(h) Required Off-Street Parking. Off street parking shall be provided in accordance with the requirements specified in Section 1266.05.
(i) Minimum Design Standards. A minimum of 65% of all exterior building elevations facing or visible from a public right-of-way shall be full-sized standard brick or stone, excluding windows and doors. The remaining 35% of the building shall consist of textured concrete block, masonry product, steel, architectural metal or other similar building material; however, in no case shall plain concrete block, vinyl, wood board or aluminum siding be a suitable building material on any portion of the building. Exterior walls not facing or visible from a public right-of-way must be constructed of a product similar and complementary to materials on other elevations of the building. Additions to existing buildings may continue with similar exterior material to maintain architectural continuity. All exterior building colors shall be of earth tone. Alternate materials will be reviewed and evaluated on the merit of their building design by the Planning Commission at the request of the property owner.
