A. 
Corner Lots Backing on Key Lots. The rear setback for a corner lot backing up on a key lot may be reduced to the size of the required side setback for the key lot or 10 feet, whichever is greater, provided the front, side, and rear setback area required by the applicable district regulations is not reduced. An accessory structure on a corner lot backing up on a key lot shall be set back from the rear property line by a distance equal to the side setback requirements applicable to the key lot.
B. 
Limitations on Curb Cuts. Wherever possible, parking and loading entrances must share curb cuts in order to minimize the overall number of curb cuts. Curb cuts are limited to one per parcel unless an absolute need is demonstrated. On corner lots, curb cuts must be located on the street frontage with the least traffic volume wherever feasible.
C. 
Limits on Outdoor Activities. Allowed uses are prohibited from conducting vehicular repair, processing, and manufacturing activities outdoors and are prohibited from private outdoor storage.
