A.
Except in Village Center Area Districts, no building
in any business district need set back any distance from a side lot
line, except that, if such side lot line is also a street line, such
building shall set back therefrom at least as much as it would be
required by this chapter to set back therefrom if such street line
were the front lot line of such building and except that, if such
building is an apartment house or hotel, or if more than two stories
of such building are used wholly or partly for residence purposes,

line at least 15 feet and except that every building in any Business
A District shall set back at least 10 feet from the boundary line
of any residence district and except that every building in any Business

No specific minimum required side yard setbacks are
established within the Village Center Area, except that where the
side yard of a lot adjoins a lot in any Residence A or C District
which is in residential use, every building shall be set back at least
one foot for each one foot that the building exceeds the height of
existing grade at the closest point of the side lot line. Other than
as set forth above, the Planning Board, in connection with its review
of site plans, shall establish such setbacks as it may determine necessary
for purposes of appropriate site design, safety of pedestrian and
traffic circulation and the maintenance of adequate separation between
commercial uses and neighboring properties in residence districts
and in consideration of any special setbacks which may have been previously
established by the Village to protect adjacent residential areas.
Within any setback areas established by the Planning Board, said Board
may require landscaping of such type and extent as it shall determine
appropriate to provide adequate screening from neighboring properties
and streets and to further the design guidelines as set forth herein.

and height of the building facade parallel or substantially parallel
to the proposed lot line, whichever is greater. The measurements shall
be of the principal facade, exclusive of bays, balconies and other
similar projections.
