(A) Visibility at intersections. On a corner lot in any district, nothing shall be erected, placed, planted, or allowed to grow in such a manner so as to materially impede vision between a height of two and one-half feet and ten feet above the centerline grades of the intersecting streets in the area bounded by the right-of-way lines of such corner lots and a line joining points along said street right-of-way lines 25 feet from the point of intersection.
(B) Yard requirements for multi-family dwellings. Multi-family dwellings shall be considered as one building for the purpose of determining front, side, and rear yard requirements. The entire group as a unit shall require one front, one rear, and two side yards as specified for dwellings in the appropriate district.
(C) Side and rear yard requirements for nonresidential uses abutting Residential Districts. Nonresidential buildings or uses shall not be located nor conducted closer than 40 feet to any lot line of a Residential District, except that the minimum yard requirements may be reduced to 50% of the requirement if acceptable landscaping or screening approved by the Commission is provided.

(2) Landscaping provided in lieu of such wall or fence shall consist of a strip of land not less than 20 feet in width planted with an evergreen hedge, or dense planting of evergreen shrubs not less than four feet in height at the time of planting.
(D) Architectural projections. Open structures such as canopies, balconies, platforms, carports, covered patios, and similar architectural projections shall be considered parts of the building to which attached and shall not project into the required minimum front, side, or rear yards.
(E) Exceptions to height regulations. The height limitations contained in the official schedule of district regulations do not apply to spires, belfries, cupolas, antennas, water tanks, ventilators, chimneys, or other appurtenances usually required to be placed above the roof level and not intended for human occupancy, except where the height of such structures will constitute a hazard to the safe landing and takeoff of aircraft at an established airport.
