service the POD-S Zone.
(6)
If the conditionally permitted senior citizen housing community
component, pursuant to § 250-119.B, is developed, the allowances

On any such lot, the minimum front yard requirement shall be 100 feet and the setback shall be measured from the nearest property line to the front of the building as identified on the site plan.
