(A) Generally. In interpreting requirements related to establishment of required yards, the Zoning Administrator shall apply the following interpretation to the orientation of the yards.
(1) Through lots. If both the front and rear yards of a lot abut public streets, then the rear building line shall respect the alignment of buildings on the back street while the front building line shall respect the alignment of buildings on the fronting street.
(2) Corner lots with 2 frontages. In the case of corner lots with 2 frontages, a front yard of the required depth shall be provided on the frontage of the street having the higher traffic volume. Where the traffic volumes on both streets are approximately equal, the required depth shall be provided on the street frontage having the minimum lot width. A second front yard of half the depth required generally for front yards in the district shall be provided on the other frontage.
(3) Corner lots with more than 2 frontages. In the case of corner lots with more than 2 frontages, the Zoning Administrator shall determine the front yard requirements, subject to the following limitations:
(a) At least 1 front yard shall be provided having full depth required generally in the district; and
(b) No other front yard on the lot shall have less than half of the full depth required for a front yard.
(4) Irregularly shaped lots. On irregularly shaped lots, the location of required front, side, and rear yards will be determined by the Zoning Administrator. The determination will be based on the spirit and intent of this chapter to achieve an appropriate spacing of buildings and orientation to the street(s). The rear lot line of triangular or otherwise irregularly shaped lots shall be a line at least 10 feet in length and entirely within the lot, parallel to and at a maximum distance from the front lot.
