(a) Erection of New Buildings. Where forty percent or more of the frontage on the same side of a street between two intersecting streets is developed with buildings that have a front yard greater or lesser in depth than otherwise required, new buildings shall be erected no closer to the street than the average front yard so established by the existing buildings, but may be erected using the average front yard so established. In the B-1 and I-2 Districts, the front yard need not exceed the specified front yard for the District.
(b) Corner Lots. Where front yards have been established or may be required on each of two intersecting streets, there shall be a front yard on each street side of a corner lot, with the following two exceptions:
(1) In Residence Districts, where established front yards exceed twenty-five feet, only one front yard in excess of twenty-five feet shall be required.
(2) The building width of a lot of record need not be reduced to less than twenty-eight feet when the owner of such lot can show that ownership and control of any adjacent lot or lots of record are by another person.
(c) Through Lots. In the case of through lots, unless the prevailing front yard pattern on adjoining lots indicates otherwise, front yards shall be provided on all frontages. Where one of the front yards that would normally be required on a through lot is not in keeping with the prevailing yard pattern, the Code Enforcement Officer may waive the requirement for the normal front yard and substitute therefor a special yard requirement which shall not exceed the average of the yards provided on adjacent lots.
