(.a)   On any given street, the front yard depth shall be no deeper than the front yard depth of the principal building on the immediately adjacent lot on such street with the deepest front yard depth; and shall be no shallower than the front yard depth of the principal building on the immediately adjacent lot on such street with the shallowest front yard depth.

(.b)   On any given street, if there is no principal building on an immediately adjacent lot, then the front yard depth shall match the front yard depth on the closest building to the subject property that is on the same blockface. If there is no such building, the minimum front yard depth shall be zero.

(.c)   If the property is bounded by two or more streets, only the primary frontages as designated in § 14-701(1)(d)(.4) (Primary Frontage) shall be subject to the front yard depth requirements of (.a) and (.b) above.
