12-260: EXISTING BUILDING ENCROACHMENT ON FRONT YARDS OR BUILDING SETBACKS :
Where an existing building or buildings on the same side of the street and within the same block encroach on the required front yard or building setback, the required front yard or building setback for new construction shall be established as follows:
   A.   If the proposed building is to be located more than 200 feet from an encroaching building, the proposed building shall conform to the front yard or setback established for the district in which the proposed building is to be located.
   B.   If the proposed building is to be located between adjacent buildings which conform to the required front yard or building setback, or between a conforming building and an intersecting street, the proposed building shall conform to the front yard or setback established for the district in which the proposed building is to be located.
   C.   If the proposed building is to be located within 200 feet of encroaching buildings on both sides and there are no intervening buildings, the front yard or building setback shall be the average of the front yard or setback of the two nearest front corners of the encroaching buildings.
   D.   If the proposed building is to be located within 200 feet of an encroaching building on one side, but not both sides, and there are no intervening buildings, the front yard or building setback shall be the average of the otherwise required front yard or setback and the setback of the nearest front corner of the encroaching building.
Provided, however, that the application of (c) or (d) above, the front yard or building setback shall not be reduced to less than 5 feet plus ½ of the right-of-way width designated on the Major Street Plan for the abutting street, or 5 feet plus 25 feet if the street is not designated on the Major Street Plan.
