The following provisions shall apply to the yard requirements specified in this chapter.
(A) Setback lines. All front, side, and rear yard setback lines shall be minimum perpendicular distance measured from the structure, excluding all projections not exceeding three feet in length from the structure wall to the respective front, side, or rear lot line; provided, however, the point of measurement of such front, side, or rear lot line shall be at a point within the subject lot and on a line which will measure not less than 20 feet in length and is parallel to the side of the structure from which the distance is measured.
(B) Accessory structures. All accessory structures in any district shall be subject to the same dimensional requirements affecting the principal structure; except, however, in residential districts, such accessory structure may be placed not less than three feet from any rear lot line or the rear yard portion of any side lot line; provided, however, no such structure shall be built closer than the minimum front yard or side yard setback required on the lot upon which the structure is proposed or upon the contiguous lot closest to the location of such accessory structure, nor shall any structure be placed closer than the established setback from any street right-of-way.
(C) Corner and double frontage lots. Lots that abut on more than one street shall provide the required front yards along each street.
(D) Yard for single building. No space which for the purpose of a building has been counted or calculated as part of a side yard, or front yard, required by this chapter shall be counted or calculated to satisfy or comply with a yard requirement for any other building.
(E) Nonresidential buildings. Principal buildings of a nonresidential use hereafter constructed or uses hereafter established shall not be located or conducted closer to any lot line in any of the residential districts than a distance of 40 feet.
