(a) In General. An accessory building may be erected detached from the principal building or may be erected as an integral part of the principal building, or it may be connected therewith by a breezeway or similar structure. Except as provided in Chapter 1294, no accessory building shall be erected in any required yard or court, except a rear yard, nor shall any accessory building occupy more than thirty-five percent of a required rear yard. Accessory buildings shall be distant at least six feet from any dwelling situated on the same lot, unless they are an integral part thereof, at least six feet from any other accessory building and at least three feet from all lot lines of adjoining lots which are within a residence district.
(b) Corner Lots. In any residence district, where a corner lot adjoins in the rear a lot fronting on the side street and located in a residence district, no part of an accessory building on such corner lot within twenty-five feet of the common lot line shall be nearer a side street lot line than the least depth of the front yard required along such side street for a dwelling on such adjoining lot, and in no case shall any part of such accessory building be nearer to the side street lot line than the least width of the side yard required for the principal building to which it is accessory.
(c) Front Setback. No accessory use or structure in any residence district, except an off-street parking area subject to the provisions of Chapter 1270, shall be permitted nearer to any front lot line than sixty feet, unless such use or structure is contained within or connected to the principal structure.
(d) Yard Requirements. Except as provided in Chapter 1294, an accessory building, if not located in the rear yard, shall be an integral part of, or connected with, the principal building to which it is accessory, and shall be so placed as to meet all yard and court requirements for a principal building of the same height and other dimensions as such accessory building.
(e) Without Main Buildings. In any residence district, no accessory building or structure shall be erected or constructed prior to the erection or construction of the principal or main building.
