(d) In the R-3, B-1, OTB, LI, and I Districts, there may be more than one building on a lot, provided that the required yards are maintained around the group of buildings. There shall not be more than one principal building on a lot in a R-1 or R-2 Districts.
(e) There may be two or more related multifamily, hotel, motel or institutional buildings on a lot, provided that the required yards are maintained around the group of buildings, and provided that buildings that are parallel or within 45 degrees of being parallel are separated by a horizontal distance at least equal to the height of the highest building.
(f) Those parts of existing buildings that violate yard regulations may be repaired or remodeled, but not reconstructed so as to further infringe upon yard requirements.
(g) Required front yards shall be devoted entirely to landscaped areas and the necessary paving of driveways, parking spaces and sidewalks as long as total parking and driveway area does not exceed 20% of the total front yard area, except in B-1, OTB, LI, and I Districts.

Where this is impractical, a portion of the adjoining residential district may be designated for use as a buffer area or for the location of barriers or fences, but only with the written concurrence of the owner of the residential area so designated.
