b.   When screening is required under Division 6.5, if the screening width is greater than the minimum setback under Section 4.1.8.A.2, the minimum setback equals the required screening width.

2.   Height Restrictions

a.   When the subject property abuts a property in an Agricultural, Rural Residential, Residential Detached, or Residential Townhouse zone that is vacant or improved with an agricultural or residential use, any structure may not protrude beyond a 45 degree angular plane projecting over the subject property, measured from a height equal to the height allowed for a detached house in the abutting zone at the setback line determined by Section 4.1.8.A.

b.   When the subject property confronts a property in an Agricultural, Rural Residential, Residential Detached, or Residential Townhouse zone that is vacant or improved with an agricultural or residential use, any structure may not protrude beyond a 45 degree angular plane projecting over the subject property, measured from a height equal to the height allowed for a detached house in the confronting zone at the front or side street setback line determined under Article 59-4.
