(a) Distance shall be measured to the planned right-of-way line.
(b) Gasoline pumps at an automobile service station may be erected in front of the main building setback line, but not closer than twenty-five feet to the planned right- of-way line.
(c) In Office Building, Shopping Center and General Business Districts where an office or business building, other than an automobile service station, is planned adjacent to another office or business building, the buildings shall either be attached or shall be located not less than the required distances from the lot line.
(Note: It is the legislative intent that the situation described above will only occur when a developer who owns two contiguous parcels is phasing the construction of a building to be situated on both parcels and the first phase is completed on or near the lot line between the two parcels. The other situation which the legislative body contemplates which may be permitted under these circumstances would be where two different owners of adjacent properties simultaneously construct buildings on both properties which by way of common development plan could abut at the lot line.)
(d) For buildings more than thirty feet in height, side and/or rear yards adjacent to residential districts shall be increased two feet for each foot in height above thirty feet.
(e) In Executive Office Park Districts buildings on the same lot shall be separated by a distance equal to not less than one-half the height of the buildings but in no case shall the distance be less than fifty feet. The yards between the buildings shall be landscaped but may include a drive not less than twenty-four feet wide. Parking may be permitted between buildings, however, the distance between the buildings shall be increased twenty feet for each parking bay. The minimum distance between buildings on the same lot may be reduced to thirty-five feet if the buildings are connected by a walkway or skyway above the first floor. An emergency access drive may be permitted within the required space. No loading areas (docks), garbage and trash containers shall be visible from adjacent lots. Buildings and accessory parking areas shall be located not less than thirty-five feet from the edge of the pavement of a private street.
(f) All private roadways in an Executive Park District shall be improved in accordance with the requirements of Section 1129.08.
(g) (1) Service stations existing and operating as of June 1, 1981, shall be permitted to construct canopies over the pump islands in front of the main building setback line or the side yard setback line but the canopy shall not extend more than ten feet beyond the row of pumps nearest a public right of way but in no case shall the canopy extend over an existing right of way.
In the event a canopy is erected over a planned right of way and it becomes necessary to expand the existing right of way, the owner of the canopy shall be required to remove that part of the canopy which would then encroach on the expanded existing right of way.
(2) New service stations and rebuilt service stations (a rebuilt station is defined as one in existence as of June 1, 1981, but not in operation on June 1, 1981, or thereafter) shall be permitted to construct canopies over the pump islands in front of the main building setback line or the side yard setback line but the canopy shall extend no closer than twenty feet from the planned right of way.
(h) Required side and rear yards for parking areas shall be landscaped and not used for driveways except as permitted by the Planning Commission to connect adjacent parking areas.
The Planning Commission shall require planting and/or a fence or wall where necessary, to protect residential districts adjacent to or across the street from a business district as provided in Chapter 1130. Such planting and/or fence or wall may extend into a front yard but shall not be planted or constructed within fifteen feet of the planned right of way.
