1. Except as provided in subsection A.2 below, a duplex dwelling on a corner lot shall have the main entrance and driveway of each dwelling unit on different streets.
2. When a corner lot fronts on an arterial or collector street on one side and a local street on another side, the driveways and dwelling unit entrances may be located on the local street.
B. Minimum setbacks for duplex dwellings. The minimum setback requirements of the applicable zone apply to the duplex dwelling, and not to the individual dwelling units.

Garages and carports shall be set back from the front property line farther than, or equal to, the front façade of the dwelling. An enclosed garage or carport shall meet the residential accessory building and use regulations in chapter 17.624.
