1171.09 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS IN R-DISTRICTS.

   (a)   General. An accessory building may be erected detached from the principal building or may be erected as an integral part of the principal building, or it may be connected therewith by a breezeway or similar structure. Except as provided in Chapter 1177 no accessory building shall be erected in any required yard or court, except a rear yard, and shall not occupy more than thirty-five percent (35%) of a required rear yard. Accessory buildings shall be distant at least six feet from any dwelling situated on the same lot, unless an integral part thereof, at least six feet from any other accessory building and at least three feet from all lot lines of adjoining lots which are within an R-District.

   (b)   Corner Lots. In any R-District where a corner lot adjoins in the rear a lot fronting on the side street and located in an R-District, no part of an accessory building on such corner lot within twenty-five feet of the common lot line shall be nearer a side street lot line than the least depth of the front yard required along such side street for a dwelling on such adjoining lot and in no case shall any part of such accessory building be nearer to the side street lot line than the least width of the side yard required for the principal building to which it is accessory.

   (c)   Front Setback. No accessory use or structure in any R-Districts except an off-street parking area subject to the provisions of Chapter 1181, shall be permitted nearer to any front lot line than fifty feet unless such use or structure is contained within or connected to the principal structure.

   (d)   Yard Requirements. Except as provided in Chapter 1177, an accessory building, if not located in a rear yard, shall be an integral part of or connected with the principal building to which it is accessory and shall be placed so as to meet all yard and court requirements for a principal building of the same height and other dimensions as said accessory building.

   (e)   Without Main Buildings. In any R-District no accessory building or structure shall be erected or constructed prior to the erection and construction of the principal or main building.
