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.
