(A) Additional front setback provisions. Front yard setback provisions of this chapter are subject to the following modification: in any block in any district contained in this chapter in which an existing front yard setback is established by existing, legally established buildings or structures on more than 50% of the total number of lots within the same block face fronting on the same public street, the minimum required front yard setback for any new building, structure or addition along such block face shall be no less than the average of such established front yards if such dimension is less than the minimum front yard setback established by this chapter.
(B) Side and rear yard exceptions. The minimum side and rear yard setback requirements for a lot containing a single-family or two-family dwelling in a residential district shall be subject to the following exceptions.
(1) A legally established non-conforming, detached, accessory garage may be reconstructed on an existing foundation even though such reconstruction would not comply with required side or rear yards; provided, such reconstruction does not interfere with a vision clearance area or encroach into any right-of-way.
(2) A legally established non-conforming single-family or two-family dwelling may be enlarged or extended one time along a legally established non-conforming side yard; provided, such legally established non-conforming side yard width is not reduced, the lineal footage of such enlargement or extension does not exceed 50% of the lineal footage of the original dimension of the single-family or two-family dwelling along that side setback, and such enlargement or extension does not interfere with a vision clearance area or encroach into any right-of-way.
(C) Setback exception; laterally-supported extensions. Laterally-supported extensions, such as canopies, eaves, cornices, bay windows or roof overhangs may extend a maximum of 24 inches into any required front, side or rear yard; required front, side or rear bufferyard; or required front, side or rear perimeter yard.
(D) Setbacks for restricted uses. The following uses are subject to the special setbacks which shall include necessary bufferyards prescribed by the following table (in feet).
