(a) Minimum Yard Area. The minimum area of the landscaped yards of any development, exclusive of area covered by buildings, open uses, parking areas, loading areas and driveways, shall be not less than that which is set forth in Section 1363.08. The Planning and Zoning Commission may require that such yard areas be landscaped with ground cover and shrubs and maintained in a condition satisfactory to the City.

(c) Side Yards. Each lot or separate development shall have at least one side yard of not less than 12 feet in width unless the on-site circulation, parking and loading are coordinated with adjoining developments and set forth in a joint agreement. Where buildings are not built along the property line the minimum yard shall be 12 feet.
(d) Rear Yards. Each lot shall have a rear yard of not less than 40 feet in depth unless the on-site circulation, parking and loading facilities are coordinated with the adjoining development and set forth in a joint agreement.

(f) Screening of Office Building Areas. Wherever an Office Building District abuts a residential district along a rear or side lot line, the Planning and Zoning Commission may require that all office buildings, uses, parking and loading facilities and driveways be screened from the adjacent residential district by a substantially solid fence and/or a hedge or other landscaping strip at least ten feet wide and not less than five and one-half feet in height.
