Principal buildings shall be located on a lot in a manner that maintains the minimum front, side and rear yards set forth in this section for the district in which the lot is located.
(a) Front Yard. Each lot shall maintain a front yard as specified in Table 1135.04, except that in the Village Center Residential District, the door to an attached garage shall be setback not less than twenty-five (25) feet from the right of way of any abutting public right-of-way street.

A structural projection is a feature of a building that extends outside the enclosing walls as an integral and functional part of the plane, thus providing form and interest to the exterior design, and connections and protection to exterior spaces. Projections shall, however, be designed and constructed so as not to substantially interfere with the reception of sun, light, and air and the use of adjoining lots.
(2) Permitted Structural Projections Into Required Yards. No portion of any building may project into the setbacks established in Table 1135.04, except that:
A. Cornices, belt courses, entrance canopies and similar overhanging roofed spaces, chimneys, porticos, and bays may project not more than three (3) feet into such setbacks.
B. Uncovered steps may project not more than five (5) feet into such setbacks.
C. Poles for the sole use of display of flags shall be allowed in the Front Yard.
