(a) “Yard” means an open space at grade between a building and the adjoining lot lines and unoccupied and unobstructed by any portion of a structure from the ground upward, except as otherwise provided herein. In measuring a yard for the purpose of determining the width of a side yard, the depth of a front yard or the depth of the rear yard, the minimum horizontal distance between the lot line and the main building shall be used.
(b) “Yard, front” means a yard extending across the front of a lot between the side lot lines, and being the minimum horizontal distance between the street or place line and the main building or any projections thereof other than the permitted projections of uncovered steps, uncovered balconies or unenclosed porches. On a corner lot the owner may elect other street frontage as the front yard.
(c) “Yard, rear” means a yard extending across the rear of a lot between the side lot lines and being the required minimum horizontal distance between the rear lot line and the rear of the main building or any projections thereof other than the permitted projections of uncovered steps, unenclosed balconies, or unenclosed porches. On all lots the rear yard shall be at the opposite end of the lot from the front yard.
(d) “Yard, side” means a yard between the main building and the side line of the lot, and extending from the required front yard to the required rear yard, and being the minimum horizontal distance between a side lot line and the side of the main buildings or any permitted projections thereof.
