b. Spacing between principal buildings shall be at least equivalent to such spacing as would be required between buildings similarly developed under the terms of this title on separate zoning lots, due consideration being given to the openness normally afforded by intervening streets and alleys.
c. All buildings shall have a trafficway setback from centerline of forty five feet (45') on a public street and twenty five feet (25') on a private street.
d. Accessory structure envelopes shall be shown on the site plan of projects approved after the date of approval of this amendment.

e. Each mobile home space shall have a concrete or asphalt surfaced area not less than twenty feet (20') wide by twenty two feet (22') in length, adjacent and accessible from the required sidewalk/street. This surfaced area shall be used for on site parking for each manufactured home space and shall be developed/installed by the park owner prior to occupancy of the manufactured home. Placement of mobile homes/manufactured homes shall comply with adopted building codes for separation between each home/structure. (Ord. 631, 2016: Ord. 542, 2007)
