(1) (a) All structures are required to have a minimum front yard or setback of not less than 40 feet from the front property line. Side and rear yards shall be no less than 20 feet each, as determined at the time of site plan review. Where a lot in this district abuts a lot in any residential district, no building in the M-2 district shall be closer than 100 feet to the property line of the residential lot.
(b) Except for landscape improvements, necessary drives and walks, parking for office personnel and visitors (up to ten spaces), the front yard shall remain clear and shall not be used for loading, storage or accessory structures. Side and rear yards, except for a landscape strip along the lot boundary ten feet in width, may be used for parking and loading but not for storage. The side or rear yard may be eliminated where a railroad service to the site is obtained at the edge of the lot.
(2) Structures and solid fences or walls shall be a minimum of 15 feet from the property line.
(3) When the side or rear yard areas abut land within a residential district and when the yard areas are to be used for parking, loading, unloading or servicing, then the side and rear yard areas shall be effectively screened by an opaque, solid, uniformly finished wall or fence and landscaping sufficient to enhance the area abutting the residential district. The wall or fence shall be at least six feet in height, but in no case shall the fence or wall be lower than the enclosed parking, loading or servicing activity to be screened.
(C) Maximum building height. Buildings shall not exceed three and one-half stories in height or 45 feet; provided, any buildings within 75 feet of a residential district shall not exceed two and one-half stories or 35 feet.
