(a) Multifamily Provisions.
(1) Multifamily dwellings shall be considered as one building for the purpose of determining front, side and rear yard requirements.
(2) The entire group as a unit shall require one front, one rear, and two side yards, as specified for dwellings in the appropriate district as though it were on an individual lot.
(Ord. 2712. Passed 8-1-78.)
(b) Average Depth of Front Yards. In Residential Zoning Districts, where the average depth of at least two existing front yards on lots within 100 feet of a lot in question and within the same block, is less or greater than the least front yard depth prescribed elsewhere in this chapter, the required depth of the front yard on such lot shall be modified. In such a case, the depth of the front yard shall not be less than the average depth of existing front yards, or, in the case of a corner lot, the depth of the front yard immediately adjoining.
When this provision is utilized within neighborhoods where front porches commonly project into the required front yard setback, any new homes constructed on lots in these areas shall include a similar front porch structure as the lots in the immediate vicinity of the lot in question and with a similar setback.
(Ord. 6625. Passed 1-17-17.)
