   .0704   When at least one historic resource is within twenty (20) feet of the shared property line of the adjacent property, the following standards apply:

         (a)   Setback. The front setback shall be the minimum front setback of the zone or equal to the smallest front setback of the historic resource, whichever is greater. At no point shall the front setback exceed twenty (20) feet, regardless of the setback of the historic resource.

         (b)   Ground Floor. New façades along a primary or secondary front shall have a ground floor expression line or entablature at the same height as the ground floor expression line or entablature on the adjacent historic resource. The top of the expression line or entablature shall be used for the purpose of determining this height. Where two historic resources about the site, the resource with the taller expression line applies.

         (c)    Scale. Within the first twenty (20) feet back from the front façade of the historic resource and the first twenty (20) feet inward from the shared interior lot line, the new building volume(s) shall not exceed the height, width, and length of the adjacent historic resource or thirty (30) feet, whichever is greater, in compliance with the zone standards.
