FOOTNOTES TO SCHEDULE OF REGULATIONS
(a)Â Â Â Additional building height may be permitted in all districts except R-1 and OS with Commission approval, in accordance with the provisions outlined in this Ordinance.
(b)Â Â Â In all districts, on a corner lot, the side yard abutting the secondary street shall be 20 feet.
(c)Â Â Â In all districts, in addition to meeting minimum lot width requirements, each lot shall also provide lot frontage, per Sec. 1130.05, conforming to the provisions of this Ordinance.
(d)Â Â Â For a nonresidential use in an R-1 or R-2 District, lot minimum (area and width) and minimum front and side yard requirements shall be determined by the ability of a proposed use to meet all other requirements of this Ordinance.
(e)Â Â Â In an R-1 or R-2 District, if residences have been constructed on more than 50 percent of the lots along a street frontage between two successive intersecting streets at the time this Ordinance is adopted, the average of the distances between the front lot lines and the nearest walls of buildings on all such lots upon which residences exist fronting on the street shall be the minimum front yard requirement for subsequent construction.
