   (c)   This is the minimum setback only if the building adjoins or is across the street from a Residential District; otherwise, it is a minimum of twenty-five (25) feet.
   (d)   See also Section 1296.02, Site Design Standards for Uses Permitted After Special Approval, for land uses requiring special approval.

   (f)   The minimum land or lot area shall be four-thousand (4,000) square feet for the first dwelling unit in a multiple-dwelling building, plus two-thousand (2,000) square feet for each additional dwelling unit therein. (Res. 2020-276A. Passed 9-21-20, Eff. 10-7-20.)
   (g)   For every lot on which a multiple, row or terrace dwelling is erected, there shall be provided a side yard on each side of the lot. Each side yard shall be increased beyond the yard spaces indicated by two (2) feet for each ten (10) feet or part thereof by which the length of the multiple, row or terrace dwelling exceeds forty (40) feet in overall dimension along the adjoining side lot line.
   Where two (2) or more multiple, row or terrace dwellings are erected upon the same lot, a minimum yard space of twenty (20) feet in width shall be provided between structures. This yard width shall be increased by two (2) feet for each ten (10) feet or part thereof by which each multiple, row or terrace dwelling structure, having common yards, exceeds forty (40) feet in length on that side of the dwelling structure facing the common yard, or such yard space shall be increased by two (2) feet for each five (5) feet or part thereof by which each permitted multiple-dwelling structure, having common yards, exceeds forty (40) feet in height on that side of the dwelling structure facing the common yard, whichever is greater.
   (h)   The total floor space in all buildings on the lot may not exceed one and one-half (1 ½) times the total net lot area (floor area ratio of 1.5).
   (i)   For planned residential projects permitted after special approval under Section 1270.03, Uses Permitted After Special Approval, in addition to the specific requirements for side and rear yards, each side yard shall be increased beyond the required yard spaces indicated by two and one-half (2 ½) feet for every story in the building, the major portion of which is above three (3) stories or thirty-five (35) feet. Where two (2) or more principal buildings exist on the same parcel, the distance between buildings shall be at least forty (40) feet, plus five (5) feet for every story by which the higher buildings exceed two (2) stories. The minimum distance between a principal structure and an accessory structure located on the same site shall not be less than twenty-five (25) feet if the accessory structure does not exceed twenty-five (25) feet or one (1) story in height; otherwise, the foregoing distances shall prevail.
   (j)   For planned residential projects permitted after special approval under Section 1270.03, Uses Permitted After Special Approval, the minimum lot area shall be one-half (½) acre.
   (k)   Hotels and motels, as permitted, shall have a minimum of two-hundred-fifty (250) square feet of floor space per unit. Where kitchen or cooking facilities are permitted in a motel unit, the minimum floor space per unit shall be four-hundred (400) square feet.
   (l)   The minimum floor area per dwelling unit shall not include areas of basements, breezeways, unenclosed porches, terraces, attached garages, attached sheds or utility rooms.
   (m)   In all Residential, Business and Industrial Districts, the required front yard setback shall not be used for off-street parking, loading or unloading, and shall remain as open space, unoccupied and unobstructed from the ground upward, except for landscaping, plant materials or vehicle access drives.
   (n)   In all Residential Districts, the width of side yards which abut upon a street on the same side or on the opposite side of the same block, upon which other residential lots front, shall not be less than the required front yard setback for homes which front upon such side street.
   (o)   Where an existing front setback line has been established by existing commercial buildings occupying forty percent (40%) or more of the frontage within the same block, or by commercial buildings occupying sixty percent (60%) or more of the frontage with adjacent blocks, such established setback shall apply.
   (p)   In any Commercial District, except for the Regional Business District (RBD), side yards are not required along interior side lot lines directly abutting a public right-of-way, or along interior side lot lines.
   (q)   For a planned residential project in a Multiple Family Residential District (MFRD), some of these requirements may be waived in accordance with Sections 1274.03, Uses Permitted After Special Approval, and 1296.02, Site Design Standards for Uses Permitted After Special Approval.
   (r)   The required twenty-five (25) foot minimum side yard setback under footnote (c), above, may be reduced or waived if a yard setback is provided on the opposite side yard of such a width that the total of the two (2) side yards is at least fifty (50) feet.
   (s)   No rear yard setback is required where property abuts a public alley.
   (t)   Where an existing single-family residence or attached garage extends between three (3) and four (4) feet of a side lot line, an addition or extension to such residence or attached garage may also be set off from such lot line a distance equivalent to the established setback line of the residence or attached garage.
   (u)   The maximum height of a detached accessory building or structure shall be in accordance with Section 1294.13 of this chapter.
