Where the frontage on one side of a street between two intersecting streets is divided by two or more zoning districts, the front yard shall comply with the requirements of the most restrictive district for the entire frontage.

Where a building line has been established by plat or ordinance and such line requires a greater or lesser front yard setback than is prescribed by this Ordinance for the district in which the building line is located, the required front yard shall comply with the building line so established by such ordinance or plat.

The front yard shall be measured from the property line to the front face of the building, vertical supports of the covered porch or covered terrace, or attached accessory building. Eaves and roof extensions may project into the required front yard for a distance not to exceed four feet and subsurface structures, fences, walls, platforms, or slabs may not project into the front yard to a height greater than 48 inches above the average grade of the yard.

Front yard setback areas, in residential zoning districts, shall have a maximum impervious cover allowance of 35 percent and be designed to standard residential designs.

Attached accessory buildings shall have a front yard not less than the main building. Detached accessory buildings shall be located in the area defined as the rear yard.

Where lots have double frontage, running through from one street to another, a required front yard shall be provided on both streets unless a building line for accessory buildings has been established along one frontage on the plat or by ordinance, in which event only one required front yard need be observed.

If 25 percent or more of the frontage on one side of a street between two intersecting streets in any residential district is improved with buildings, prior to the effective date of this ordinance, that have been observed an average front yard line varying from the standards herein established, then the average front yard existing in the block shall be observed, provided however, that this regulation shall not be interpreted as requiring a front yard line of more than 25 feet.
