In interpretation of requirements related to establishment of required yards, the Zoning Administrator shall apply the following interpretation to the orientation of such yards:
(A) Through lots. In the case of through lots, unless the prevailing front yard pattern on adjoining lots indicates otherwise, front yards shall be provided on all frontages. Where one of the front yards that would normally be required on a through lot is not in keeping with the prevailing yard pattern, the Zoning Administrator may waive the requirement for the normal front yard and substitute therefore a special yard requirement which shall not exceed the average of the yards existing on adjacent lots.
(B) Corner lots with 2 frontages. In the case of corner lots with 2 frontages, a front yard of the required depth shall be provided on the frontage of the street having the higher traffic volumes. Where the traffic volumes on both streets are approximately equal, the required depth shall be provided on the street frontage having the minimum lot width. A second front yard of half the depth required generally for front yards in the district shall be provided on the other frontage.
(C) Corner lots with more than 2 frontages. In the case of corner lots with more than 2 frontages, the Zoning Administrator shall determine the front yard requirements, subject to the following limitations:
(1) At least 1 front yard shall be provided having full depth required generally in the district:
(2) No other front yard on such lot shall have less than half the full depth required generally.
(D) Appropriateness of orientation. Notwithstanding the above, the Zoning Administrator may determine that the most appropriate orientation for any required yard is different from the orientation as set forth above in such instances that it appears that such different orientation will further the intent of this chapter. When a structure is to be built which will contain more than one dwelling unit, the orientation of required yards shall be based upon both the orientation of the lot and the orientation of the structure. The Zoning Administrator may impose an orientation of yards different from the orientation set forth in this section and elsewhere in this chapter subject only to appeal of such decision to the Board of Appeals as an appeal from an administrative decision of the Zoning Administrator.
