   (a)    Automotive service and minor repair shall be at least fifty (50) feet away from any R district and further provide that no entrance or exit shall be within two hundred (200) feet along the same side of a street of any school, public playground, church, hospital, or public library except where the lot for such use is in another block or on another street which the lot in question does not abut.

At corner locations, this requirement may be met by placing the principal automotive service station/minor repair building at the corner. All garage entrances shall be oriented perpendicular to the public right-of-way unless the service bays are accessed from the rear through the parking area.
   (c)    Where an automotive service station/minor repair property adjoins a residential use or Residential Zoning District, the service bays shall be setback twenty (20) feet from the rear and side property lines.
   (d)    All vehicle entrances shall be at least fifty (50) feet from any street intersection.

   (b)    The use of the dwelling unit for the home occupation shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to its use for residential purposes by its occupants, and not more than twenty five percent (25%) of floor area of any floor of the dwelling unit shall be used in the conduct of the home occupation;
   (c)    There shall be no change in the outside appearance of the building or premises, or other visible evidence of the conduct of such home occupation other than one sign, not exceeding four square feet in area, nonilluminated, and mounted flat against the wall of the principal building;
