(Ord. 03-244. Passed 7-8-03.)
(b) Institutional structures owned by a college or university and used for academic and related purposes, including the recreation, housing and feeding of students and guests of the college or university.
(1) Such structures shall front either on a public street or permanent open public space or on a common yard or outer court or private court or private drive, which drive is paved to a width of at least twenty (20) feet if two-way, or twelve (12) feet if one-way.

(2) Such structures abutting on a street designated as primary or secondary on the Thoroughfare Plan shall have a setback of twenty-five (25) feet or to any other established line, whichever is less. On streets not so designated as primary or secondary where the college or university erecting the structure owns property for a distance of 100 feet along one (1) side of the street right of way on both sides of the property to be built upon, or owns all of the street frontage within the block along the side of the street to be built upon, the front yard setback shall be not less than twenty (20) feet for fifty percent (50%) of the site along any on (1) street. On the remaining fifty percent (50%) of such frontage, the structure may project to the street right of way. Where the college or university does not own the above-sited frontages, a setback of twenty (20) feet along the front yard and fifteen (15) feet along the street side line of a corner lot shall be required.
(Ord. 03-244. Passed 7-8-03.)

Where the number of parking spaces is determined by the student capacity, as set forth above, then in the event the college or university does not permit over twenty-five percent (25%) of the student body to operate and own motor vehicles, the number of parking spaces required shall be determined as follows:
(i) One (1) parking space for each faculty member and other employee of the university or college. Duplication of parking facilities shall not be required in connection with the erection of several such structures, provided such parking facilities are available within the distance prescribed in subsection (b)(4)C. hereof.
B. Each off-street parking space must meet the requirements of Section 1153.05. Parking spaces available along private streets or roads which do not obstruct traffic shall be considered as qualifying for off-street parking.
