Buildings on through lots shall conform to the front yard requirements for each street. In such cases, accessory buildings shall be treated as a principal building with regard to compliance with the front yard setback requirements.

(Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)

   In any Residence district, where the average depth of at least two existing front yards on lots within 100 feet of the lot in question and within the same block front is less or greater than the least front yard depth prescribed elsewhere in this Code, the required depth of the front yard on such lot may be modified. In such case, this modification shall not be less than the average depth of the existing front yards on the two lots immediately adjoining, or, in the case of a corner lot, the depth of the front yard on the lot immediately adjoining, provided, that the depth of a front yard on any lot shall be at least ten (10) feet and need not exceed fifty (50) feet.

(Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)

   In computing the depths of a rear yard or the width of a side yard, where the rear or side yards abuts an alley, one-half of the width of the alley may be included as a portion of the required rear or side yard, as the case may be. (Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)

   Every part of a required yard shall be open to the sky, unobstructed, except for accessory buildings in the rear yard, and except for the ordinary projections of skylights, sills, belt courses, cornices and ornamental features. This requirement shall not prevent the construction of fences and hedges as regulated in Section 1125.12.

(Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)

   A corner lot shall be considered to contain two front yards. Front yard setbacks shall apply from both street rights-of-way.

(Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)

   Terraces, open porches, platform, ornamental features and fire escapes may project into a required yard, provided these projections be at least two (2) feet from the adjacent side lot line, and provided that they project no more than ten (10) feet into the front yard. For the purpose of this section, terraces, open porches and platforms shall be defined as projections that are not more than 30 inches above the finished grade.

(Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)

   Awnings that do not project more than forty-eight (48) inches from the face of the building may project into the required front or rear yard when such site is located in a non-residence district. (Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)
