None of the above projections shall extend into a minimum yard more than twelve (12) inches.
2. Where a lot or tract is used for educational, institutional, multiple-family,
commercial, hotel, motel or industrial purposes, more than one (1)
main building may be located upon the lot or tract, but all such buildings
must provide the required yards around them for the district in which
they are located.
3. An interior lot having a frontage on two (2) streets shall provide
the required front yard on both streets.
4. On corner lots, there shall be a front yard provided on each street
side, except that the buildable width of such lot shall not be reduced
to less than thirty (30) feet. No accessory building shall project
beyond the front yard line on either street.
5. Commercial or industrial buildings used in part for dwelling purposes
shall provide side yards not less than five (5) feet in width, unless
every dwelling room opens directly upon a front yard, side yard or

6. Where a lot abuts upon an alley, one-half (½) of the alley
width may be considered as part of the required rear yard.
C. Exceptions To Yard Requirements.
1. In all residential districts, when lots composing forty percent (40%)
or more of the frontage on the same side of the street between two
(2) intersecting streets (excluding reverse corner lots) are developed
with buildings, the front yard is established in the following manner:
a. Where the building farthermost from the street provides a front yard
not more than ten (10) feet deeper than the building closest to the
street, then the front yard for the frontage is and remains an average
of the then existing front yards.
b. Where this subparagraph (a) is not the case and a lot is within one
hundred (100) feet of a building on each side, then the front yard
is a line drawn from the closest front corner of these two (2) adjacent
buildings.
c. Where neither subparagraph (a) nor (b) is the case, and the lot is
within one hundred (100) feet of an existing building on one (1) side
only, then the front yard is the same as that of the existing adjacent
building.
2. Public or semi-public service buildings, hospitals, institutions
or schools when permitted in a district may be erected to a height
not exceeding sixty (60) feet and churches may be erected to a height
not exceeding sixty-five (65) feet when the required side and rear
yards are each increased by at least one (1) foot for each one (1)
foot of additional building height above the height limit otherwise
provided in the district in which the building is located.
3. Open or lattice enclosed fire escapes, required by law, shall be
permitted to project into a yard not to exceed five (5) feet when
placed so as not to obstruct light and ventilation.
4. Terraces, uncovered porches and ornamental features may project into
a required yard; provided, they do not extend more than three (3)
feet above the floor level of the ground story and are at least two
(2) feet from the adjacent side lot line.
5. Filling station pumps and pump islands may occupy required yards,
provided however, that they are not less than fifteen (15) feet from
all lot lines.
6. Signs in accordance with Article
V of this Chapter are permitted.
7. An unenclosed balcony or unenclosed porch may project into a front
yard for a distance not exceeding ten (10) feet. An enclosed vestibule,
containing not more than forty (40) square feet, may project into
a front yard for a distance not to exceed four (4) feet.
