1173.08 SUPPLEMENTAL YARD AND HEIGHT REGULATIONS.
A. Setback Requirements for Corner Buildings
On a corner lot, the principal building and its accessory structures shall be required to have the same setback distance from all street right-of-way lines as required for the front yard in the district in which such structures are located. The principal building shall have two (2) side yards and no rear yard.
B. Visibility at Intersections
On a corner lot at the intersection of two (2) alleys, or at the intersection of an alley and a street within any district, nothing shall be installed, erected, placed, planted, or allowed to grow in such manner as to impede vision materially between a height of two and a half feet (2 ½') and ten feet (10') above the center line grades of the intersecting alleys or of the intersecting alley and street in the area bounded by the right-of-way lines of such corner lots and a line joining points along said alley lines, or alley and street lines fifty feet (50') from the point of intersection.
C. Yard Requirements for Multiple-Family Dwellings
Group or multiple-family dwellings shall be considered as one (1) building for the purpose of determining front, side, and rear yard requirements. The entire group as a unit shall require one (1) front, one (1) rear, and two (2) side yards as specified for dwellings in the appropriate district. Each individual building shall meet all yard requirements for the appropriate district as though it were on an individual lot.
