§ 4.3. These general rules for yards must also be observed.

(a)

On corner lots in the R-1, R-2 and R-3 Districts, there must be a front and rear yard having a depth as described and set forth herein Section 4.2. Building on corner lots where interior lots have been platted on side streets shall provide a side yard adjacent to the side street of not less than 15 feet, provided this regulation may not be so interpreted as to reduce the buildable width of a corner lot of record at the time of passage of Ordinance No. 3466 to less than 65 per cent of the total width of such lot, and provided further that the minimum side yard regulations in Section 4.2 must be observed. Accessory buildings on corner lots, where interior lots have been platted on side streets, shall not project beyond the front yard line established on the side street, provided this regulation shall not reduce the buildable width to less than 20 feet.

(b)

Where a frontage is divided among districts with different front yard requirements the deepest front yard shall apply to the entire frontage.

(c)

Where a lot is in a C or an M District and is next to an R District the side or rear yard required in that R District must be provided along the boundary line.

(d)

In the C and M Districts there may be more than one commercial or industrial building on a lot provided that the required yards be maintained around the group of buildings.

(e)

Dwelling uses, except hotels, locating in C and M Districts must provide the yards required in the R-3 District.

(f)

Except as provided in Section 2.3, there may be two or more related residential, hotel, motel or institutional buildings on a lot in the R-3 District; provided that:

(a)

The required yards be maintained around the group of buildings, and

(b)

Buildings that parallel, or that are within 45 degrees of being parallel, be separated by a horizontal distance that is at least equal to the height of the highest building.

(g)

Those parts of existing buildings that violate yard regulations may be repaired and remodeled but not reconstructed or structurally altered.
