The following exceptions to the front yard requirements for a dwelling are authorized for a lot in any zone.
(A) If there are dwellings on both abutting lots with front yards of less than the required depth for the zone, the front yard for the subject lot need not exceed the average front yard of the abutting dwellings. If there is a dwelling on one abutting lot with a front yard of less than the required depth for the zone, the front yard for the subject lot need not exceed a depth one-half way between the depth of the abutting lot and the required front yard depth.
(B) To permit or afford better light, air and vision on more heavily traveled streets and on streets of substandard width; to protect arterial streets; and to have the location of structures compatible with the need for the eventual widening of streets, the Planning Commission may require a setback greater than the required yard specified in the zone.
