In this zone, a building or land shall be used only for one or more of the following purposes.
(A) Uses permitted.
(1) Single-family dwellings, excluding mobile homes and mobile home parks;
(2) Public primary and secondary schools and private schools having the same or similar curriculum as ordinarily given in the public schools;
(3) Hospitals, except animal hospitals, operated for the treatment of chronic alcoholics, the insane, infectious diseases or narcotic patients;
(4) Churches and church bulletin board, lighted or unlighted, not exceeding four square feet in area;
(5) Municipally owned parks, playgrounds and recreation centers; parks, playgrounds and recreation centers owned and operated by nonprofit civic organizations;
(6) Golf, swimming, tennis and other private clubs not open to the general public and operated for the mutual recreation of members and not operated as a business for profit. Provided, however, that any swimming or tennis club is located on a parcel of land not less than one acre in size;
(7) Accessory uses and buildings customarily or necessarily incident to any of the above specified uses, including a private garage or servants’ quarters, private swimming pool and noncommercial truck garden. An accessory use shall be situated on the same lot or premises as the primary use to which it is accessory; and
(8) Home occupation as defined in § 153.002.
(B) Building height limit. No structure shall exceed 35 feet in height unless the depth of front and total width of side yards required herein shall be increased five feet for each ten feet or fraction thereof, of building height in excess of 35 feet.
(C) Building site area required, residences. The minimum building site area shall be one lot or parcel of land 8,000 square feet in area for each main building. Such parcel of land shall have an average width of at least 75 feet. When a lot or parcel of land has an area of less than the above required minimum area and width and was of record at the time of passage of this chapter, said lot may be occupied by one family; provided, however, that the minimum side, front and rear yard requirements set out in this section are conformed to.
(D) Front yard required.
(1) There shall be a front yard having a depth of not less than 35 feet measured from the front property line to the front line of the main building. Where lots comprising 25% or more of the frontage on the same street within the block are already developed, an average front yard shall be computed for the existing buildings. No building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall project beyond the average front yard so established, provided this regulation shall not be so construed as to require a front yard depth of more than 35 feet. Provided, further, no front yard depth need exceed the average provided for the two adjoining buildings, one on either side thereof, if such two adjoining buildings are less than 200 feet apart. Provided, further, that when the geographic grade or contour of the lot is such that compliance with this section is impossible or will impose an undue hardship upon the property owner, the Board of Adjustment will establish a front yard depth suitable and practical for such lot.
(2) Where lots have a double frontage, the required front yard shall be provided on both streets.
(E) Side yard required. There shall be a side yard on each side of the main building having a width of not less than ten feet and the total width of such two side yards shall not be less than 20 feet.
(F) Corner lots. On corner lots, the side yard regulations shall apply to the street side of the lot except in the case where the corner lot faces an intersecting street. In this case, there shall be a side yard on the street side of the corner lot of not less than 50% of the front yard required on lots in the rear of such corner lot and no accessory building on said corner lot shall extend beyond the front yard line of the lots in the rear; provided, further, that this regulation shall not be so interpreted as to reduce the building width of a corner lot facing an intersecting street and as of record at the time of the passage of this chapter to less than 28 feet, nor to prohibit the erection of an accessory building where this regulation cannot reasonably be complied with.
(G) Signs. A billboard, signboard or advertising sign shall in no case be permitted as an accessory use. The placing of a “for sale” or “for rent” sign not exceeding four square feet in area shall, however, be permitted. Signs not exceeding one square foot in area shall be permitted in connection with a home occupation as defined in § 153.002.
