Livestock and poultry may be raised only in quantities reasonably sufficient for the immediate use of the consumption by the occupants of the premises.

(Ord. No. 234, § 6-2, 8-2-71; Ord. No. 691, 1-26-98)

Any use that is constructed or reconstructed in an R-2 Single-Family Dwelling District shall provide and maintain an adequate parking space, as required by article XIII of this ordinance.

(Ord. No. 234, § 6-3, 8-2-71)

No building shall exceed 2½ stories or shall it exceed 35 feet in height. This limitation shall not apply to colleges or universities.

(Ord. No. 234, § 6-4, 8-2-71)

A.

Front yard.

1.

There shall be a front yard having a depth of not less than 40 feet, unless 30 percent or more of the frontage is improved with buildings that have observed a greater or less depth of front yard, in which instance no new building or portion thereof shall project beyond a straight line drawn between the point closest to the street line of the residence upon either side of the proposed structure, or if there be residences upon only one side, then beyond the straight line projected from the front of the two nearest residences, but this regulation shall not be interpreted to require a front yard of more than 75 feet, nor to permit a front yard of less depth than that of the nearest building. Where the street is curved, the line shall follow the curve of the street rather than to be a straight line.

2.

Where lots have a double frontage, the required front yard shall be provided on both streets.

3.

On a corner lot there shall be a front yard on each street side of such lot, except that the buildable width of such lot need not be reduced to less than 40 feet. No accessory building shall project beyond the front yard line on either street.

B.

Side yard.

1.

Except as hereinafter provided in this ordinance there shall be a side yard on each side of a building, having a width of not less than nine feet except as to auxiliary buildings and detached garages which shall provide for a side yard of three feet.

2.

Wherever a lot of record has a width of less than 75 feet, the side yard on each side of a building may be reduced to a width of not less than 12 percent of the width of the lot, but in no instance shall it be less than five feet.

C.

Rear yard.

1.

Except as hereinafter provided, there shall be a rear yard having a depth of not less than 30 feet or 20 percent of the depth of the lot, whichever amount is smaller.
