"Yard" means an open space on the same lot with a building or group of buildings, lying between the building or group of buildings and the nearest lot line, unoccupied and unobstructed from the ground upward, except such encroachments of structures permitted herein. A yard shall be measured between a lot line and a line parallel to such lot line drawn through the point of a building or the point of a group of buildings nearest to such lot line, exclusive of the features permitted to extend into the required yard under this Code. The measurement of the yard shall be taken at right angles from the lot line to the line of the building. Specifically:
(a) "Front Yard" means an open unoccupied space across the full width of a lot, bounded by the front building line, the front lot line and the side lot lines.
(b) "Rear Yard" means an open unoccupied space extending across the rear of a lot between side lot lines.
(c) "Required Yard" means the minimum yard or setback required between a lot line and a building line in order to comply with the regulations of the District in which the lot is located.
(d) "Side Yard" means an open unoccupied space extending from the rear line of the required front yard to the rear-most part of the building and bounded also by the side lot line and the side of the building. In any District, the side yard on the street side of a corner lot shall be not less in width than the requirement of the setback building line established in this Code or shown on the Zone Map for that side of such corner lot.
