(2) Minimum rear yard depth See subsections (d) and (e) hereof.
(3) Minimum side yard width See subsections (d) and (e) hereof.
(b) Special uses shall comply with all pertinent development standards contained in Chapter 1296.
(c) A twenty-five-foot front yard depth shall be provided. However, if adjacent lots are developed, the average of adjoining front yard depths should be provided if they are less than twenty-five feet. If the lot is located across the street from a residential district or use, fifty feet shall be provided in any case.
(d) Each side and rear yard shall be equal to the height of the principal building. If adjacent lots are industrially zoned and developed to the lot line, side and rear yard setbacks shall be at the discretion of the Planning Commission. Where a side or rear yard abuts upon a residential district or use, said yard shall in no case be less than fifty feet. Within this bufferyard, a landscaped buffer at least thirty feet wide shall be created along the entire length of the property for screening and buffering purposes. This bufferyard shall contain a sight-proof landscape screening of Group A and C (minimum seventy percent Group C trees) trees and a compact evergreen hedge. An opaque fence of adequate height, as adjudged by the Planning Commission, may be substituted or required in place of such hedge plantings (but not Group A or C trees) if approved or required by the Planning Commission. If the use is to be serviced from the rear, the yard shall be at least fifty feet deep.
(e) For special uses, each side and rear yard for special uses shall be equal to two times the height of the principal building. If adjacent lots are industrially developed to the lot line, side and rear yard setbacks shall be at the discretion of the Planning Commission. Where a side or rear yard abuts upon a residential district or use, said yard shall in no case be less than 100 feet. Within this bufferyard, a landscaped buffer at least thirty feet wide shall be created along the entire length of the property for screening and buffering purposes. This bufferyard shall contain a sight-proof landscape screening of Group A and C (minimum seventy percent Group C trees) trees and compact evergreen hedge. An opaque fence of adequate height, as adjudged by the Planning Commission, may be substituted or required in place of such hedge plantings (but not the Group A or C trees) if approved or required by the Planning Commission. If the use is to be serviced from the rear, the yard shall be at least fifty feet deep.
