In a Residential C District, no dwelling shall
be altered and none shall be erected for other than the following
uses:
A. Any use permitted in a Residential R-1 District.
B. A dwelling for not more than one family in compliance with the following provisions of §
265-45 and §§
265-57 through
265-63.
No building shall be raised, altered or erected
which is less than one-and-one-half stories nor more than two stories
in height.
A one-and-one-half story dwelling shall have
on its first story a minimum area of 650 square feet, exclusive of
porches and garages, and on its second floor a minimum of usable space
equal to 40% of the cubic area of the first floor. No part of such
usable space shall be less than four feet six inches in height.
No building shall be erected on any plot which
has a frontage of less than 60 feet and a total area of less than
6,000 feet. However, the foregoing shall not affect plots presently
having a frontage of less than 60 feet but 40 feet or more where such
owners do not own contiguous plots of land fronting on the same street.
Where at the time of the passage of this chapter
at least 1/2 of the buildings situated on either side of a street
between two intersecting streets conform to a minimum setback, no
building shall be erected and no existing building shall be altered
to project beyond such setback line. The foregoing shall, however,
in no case be construed so as to keep the street walls of buildings
more than 25 feet back of the property line. Where there are no existing
buildings in the block, no new building shall be erected with its
street wall more than 20 feet back of the property line.
The rear yard of a one-story dwelling shall
not be less than 25 feet.
No building shall be erected with roofs of the
character known as flat. The Building Official may, however, vary
this requirement where it is shown that the architectural treatment
requires roofs of such character.
