For yard requirements in Residential Districts, refer to Table 17.24.020-1 Residential Zoning Districts Development Standards in Article II (Zoning Districts, Allowed Uses, and Development Standards).
A. Front Yard Variation. In any full block of lots, the front yards may be varied so that the required yard depth is not reduced more than five (5) feet, the average of all lots equals the required yard depth, and the corner lot yards are not reduced.
B. Computation of Yards in Residential Zoning Districts.
1. In any residential district where fifty percent (50%) or more of the parcels in any one (1) block, or portion thereof in the same district, have been improved with buildings, the required front yard shall be of a depth equal to the average of the front yard of the improved sites, to a maximum requirement of ten (10) feet.
2. In any residential district where adjoining lots are improved with buildings, the front yard required for a vacant site shall be the average of the yards within sixty (60) feet of the site on each side thereof.
3. In case a dwelling is to be located so that the front yard or rear yard thereof faces any side lot line, such dwelling shall be located not less than ten (10) feet from such lot line. The shorter of the street frontages of a corner lot shall be considered in the front of the lot.
4. Corner Lot. A corner lot shall have a front setback along each property line adjacent to a street. Where the rear line of a corner lot lies along the side line of an adjoining interior lot in any residential district, the yard setback on the street side of the corner lot within twenty (20) feet of the side line of the interior lot shall be equal to the front yard required for the interior lot, and a clear five (5)-foot yard shall be maintained adjacent to the rear line of the corner lot.
C. Side Yard Computation. In cases where side yards are to be computed on the basis of twenty percent (20%) of the width of the lot under the terms of this chapter, no such side yard shall exceed sixteen (16) feet in width unless so required by other requirements.
D. Computation of Yards for Residential Buildings Permitted with a Conditional Use Permit. Yards required for residential buildings that are permitted with a conditional use permit shall be as required for that particular district or as required for the R-4 Very High Density Zoning District, whichever yard requirements are greater.
