1159.12 CONFORMITY TO EXISTING FRONT YARDS.
   (a)   The purpose of this section is to protect view lines in single-family residential neighborhoods except where the view line from a home has been voluntarily sacrificed by building with a setback that is greater than that required in this or any applicable previous Zoning Code.
   (b)   In any RS Residential District, where one or more side lot lines of a lot abut one or more residential lots with a nonconforming front or corner side yard, the minimum front and corner side yards on such lot shall be less than the zoning district regulations require.
   (c)   For such a lot that is an interior lot, the minimum front yard shall be the mean average of the actual front yards established on the two abutting residential lots on either side. If there is no structure on one of the abutting lots, the front yard required by the zoning district shall be used in lieu of the actual front yard for that lot to compute the average.
   (d)   For such a lot that is a corner lot, the minimum front and corner side yard shall be the actual front or corner side yard abutting each such yard on the adjacent residential lot.
   (e)   Where the actual front or corner side yards on the abutting lots are conforming, the minimum front and corner side yards shall be as required in the district regulations.
