Accessory buildings, structures and uses located in these non-residential zoning districts shall be located on the same parcel as the principal building is found and shall be in compliance with this Chapter and any other applicable standard set forth in this Code:
(1) Number Permitted. There shall be no more than three (3) detached accessory buildings or structures on a lot where the principal building is three hundred thousand (300,000) square feet or less. One additional accessory building or structure may be permitted for every two hundred thousand (200,000) square feet of principal building floor area in excess of three hundred thousand (300,000) square feet or fraction thereof.
(2) Front Yard and Side Yard Placement for Accessory Uses. Accessory buildings, structures and uses proposed to be located in a front yard or side yard area shall be permitted only if approved by the Planning Commission.

(5) Setback. An accessory building, structure or use shall not be located closer than twenty (20) feet to a rear or side lot line when abutting any residential zoning district or any single-family residential land use regardless of the zoning district.
