Except, that if one zoning district comprises more than 75 percent of said lot area, a use allowed in the district of majority may be extended to the existing property lines beyond the district boundary line in accordance with setbacks and yard requirements of the district into which the use is encroaching, with the administrative approval of the planning director.
