buildings permitted shall cover not more than 90% of the area of the
lot.
C.
Front yards. Each lot shall have a front yard with a minimum depth
of 20 feet, except that if there are principal structures fronting
on the same street within 150 feet of either or both of the side lines
of the lot, the front yard depth shall be equal to the average of
the setbacks of the nearest of such structures on each side or to
the average of such setback and 20 feet if there is such a structure
on one side only, but not less than eight feet in any case.
D.
Rear yards. Where a West End Business WEB District adjoins a residential
district at the rear, rear yard requirements shall be as follows:
There shall be a rear yard of not less than 40 feet deep. Otherwise,
the rear yard requirements shall be as follows: There shall be a rear
yard of at least 20 feet in depth, except that if the building is

or caretaker, the rear yard shall be 30 feet deep. For a building

Each lot shall have two side yards with a total width of not
less than 16 feet, neither one of which may be less than six feet
in width at the front and rear building lines. When a lot less than

When a lot in a West End Business WEB District adjoins a lot
in a residential district at the side, a side yard shall be provided
on the residential side of the business lot, with a width not less
than that of the narrowest yard required in the adjoining residential
