Subject to securing a Use Permit with architectural and site control, permitted public and semi-public buildings and their associated architectural features such as chimney and spires may be erected to a height not exceeding seventy-five (75) feet provided that the front, rear and side yards shall be increased one (1) foot for each one (1) foot by which such building exceeds the height limit hereinbefore established for the district in which said building is to be erected.

For the purpose of computing front yard dimensions the measurement shall be taken from the nearest point of the front wall of the building to the street right-of-way line; provided, however, that if an Official Plan Line has been established for the street, or if a future street width line is established therefor by the provision of this Chapter, then the measurement shall be taken from the nearest point of the front wall of the building to such Official Plan Line or such future width line.

Where a lot is situated between two (2) lots, each of which has a main building within twenty-five (25) feet of its side lot lines, which projects beyond the established front yard line and has been so maintained since the effective date of this Chapter, the front yard requirement on such lot may be the average of the front yards of said existing buildings.

Where the lot adjoins only one (1) lot having a main building within twenty-five (25) feet of its side lot lines, which projects beyond the established front yard line and has been so maintained since the effective date of this Chapter, the front yard requirement for a building to be placed on such lot may be the average of the front yard of said existing building and the established front yard line.

In the case of a sloping lot where the natural elevation of the ground at a point fifty (50) feet from the front lot line and midway between the side lot lines differs ten (10) feet or more from the curb level, or where the slope (measured in the general direction of side lot lines) is twenty percent (20%) or more on at least one-quarter of the depth of the lot, the front yard need not exceed fifty percent (50%) of that required in the district as measured on the surface of the ground.

Editor's note— Ord. No. NS-218, § 5, adopted May 7, 2019, repealed § 10.06.060, which was entitled "Side yard of a corner lot."

In the case of a corner lot with a key lot to the rear of said corner lot, the rear yard required for accessory building on said corner lot shall be equal to the side yards required on said key lot.

In the case of a through lot, the rear yard required for accessory buildings shall be equal to the front yard required on the street to the rear of said lot.

In computing the depth of a rear yard where such yard opens onto an alley, one-half the width of such alley not to exceed ten (10) feet may be assumed to be a portion of the required rear yard.

In computing the lot area of a lot which rears upon an alley, one-half the width of such alley not to exceed ten (10) feet may be assumed to be a portion of the lot.

For the purposes of this Chapter the rear half of a lot shall be the geometric rear half or that portion of the lot commencing seventy (70) feet from the street, whichever is the lesser.

Cornices, eaves, belt courses, sills, canopies or similar architectural features (not including bay windows or vertical projections), may extend or project into a required side yard not more than twenty-four (24) inches and may extend or project into a required front or rear yard not more than thirty (30) inches. Chimneys may also project into a required front, side or rear yard not more than eighteen (18) inches.

Open, unenclosed stairways, or balconies, not covered by a roof or canopy, may extend or project into a required rear yard not more than four (4) feet, and such balconies may extend into a required front yard not more than thirty (30) inches.

Open, unenclosed porches, platforms or landing places not covered by a roof or canopy, which do not extend more than twelve (12) inches above natural grade, may project into such side or rear yards to the property line provided that such areas shall not drain onto adjacent properties.

Window wells required under the California Building Standards Code may encroach not more than thirty-six (36) inches into any required setback. Window wells which project into the setback shall not exceed the minimum required to comply with the California Building Standards Code criteria for egress. Window wells shall comply with all local, state and federal regulations.
