Regulations specified in this Development Code shall be subject to the following exceptions, modifications and interpretations:
(A) Extension of time. Under special conditions, the Council may grant extensions of time unless otherwise set forth in this Development Code.
(B) Use of existing lots of record. In any district where dwellings are permitted, a single-family dwelling may be located on any lot or plot of official record that existed on the effective date of this Development Code, which does not meet area and/or width requirements of this Development Code.
(C) Structures permitted above the height limit. Building height limitations of this Development Code may be modified as follows: public, semi-public or public service buildings, sanitariums, schools, churches and temples, when permitted in a district, may have the applicable height limit waived by the Town Council, provided that each setback is increased one foot for each foot of additional building height above the height limit otherwise provided in that district.
(D) Area requirements. In any residential district where neither the public water supply nor public sanitary sewer is accessible, lot area and frontage requirements shall be consistent with county or state health requirements and meet the minimum requirements of the zone district in which it is located.
(E) Other exceptions to yard requirements. Every part of a required yard shall be open to the sky, unobstructed by any structure, except for permitted accessory buildings, and except for ordinary projections of sills, bay windows, cornices and other features permitted elsewhere in this Development Code.
(F) Mixed-use yard requirements. When buildings are erected containing two or more uses housed vertically, required side yards for the first floor use shall control.
