(1) Height of buildings. No building or structure thereof shall be erected or altered to a height exceeding 35 feet; except a permitted non-residential structure may exceed this limit by one foot for each foot in excess of ten feet that the building or structure is set back from all property lines.
(2) Lot area. No building shall be erected or altered unless it is on a lot having an area of not less than 9,600 square feet. This regulation shall not apply to lots already platted and recorded as of the effective date of this section, where the owner of such platted lots does not own a sufficient amount of adjacent land to permit compliance, provided that all other requirements of the section are met.
(3) Lot frontage. Every lot shall have frontage of not less than 80 feet along a public street. This regulation does not apply to lots already platted and recorded as of the effective date of this section where the owner of the such platted lots does not own a sufficient amount of adjacent land to permit compliance, provided all other requirements of this subchapter are met.
(4) Setbacks. There shall be a building setback line of not less than 20 feet or a setback line consistent with adjacent structures. On every corner lot, the minimum setback distance shall be 20 feet on the short side of the lot and may be as little as 15 feet on the long side of the lot, except for those lots where the long side is parallel to the front of the majority of other lots on the street, in which case the setback shall be 20 feet.
(5) Rear yard. Every lot shall have a rear yard of not less than 25 feet. Necessary buildings or structures for accessory uses shall not occupy more than 40% of the required rear yard area, provided that where such rear yard abuts on streets, no garage or other building for accessory use shall be placed nearer than 15 feet from the line of such street. Further, regarding corner lots, where such rear yard abuts on an adjacent lot to the rear, the accessory building setback from such lot line shall be not less than five feet. If alleys are present to the rear lot line of the property, no building or accessory building shall be erected within feet of the alley right-of-way.
(6) Side yards. Every lot shall have two side yards, neither of which shall be less than 10% of the width of the lot. The width of the lot shall be determined at the front setback line of the structure to be built. If alleys are present to the rear lot line of the property, no building or accessory building shall be erected within five feet of the alley right-of-way.
(7) Building floor area. Every dwelling shall have a first floor area of not less than 720 square feet if the dwelling is one story or one and one-half stories in height, or 475 square feet if the dwelling is two stories in height.
