(F) Multifamily dwellings yard regulations.
(1) In order to encourage greater flexibility in design and more attractive arrangements of buildings and greater utilization of open spaces, yard regulations for multifamily dwellings are hereby established for single development and yard regulations for locating several buildings with a group development.
(2) The yards of multifamily buildings shall be related to the space within the dwelling units as well as the yards. Buildings shall be arranged so as to assure privacy between adjacent buildings and intersecting wings of buildings, from streets, parking and recreation areas in accordance with the following.
(a) Definitions. For the purpose of this division (F), the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
END OR SECONDARY WALL. Any exterior wall of a multifamily building other than a main wall and containing secondary windows required for ventilation and not intended to provide a direct view.
GROUP DEVELOPMENT. A development of more than one multifamily building on a parcel planned as a unit and coordinated with the surrounding neighborhood.
MAIN WALL. Any exterior wall of a multifamily building containing the principal windows of a living, dining and/or sleeping room or rooms.
OVERLAPPING WALLS. The portion of the exterior walls which are directly opposing when two buildings, parallel or within 30 degrees of being parallel, face each other across an open yard or court.
SINGLE DEVELOPMENT. A development of one multifamily building on one lot coordinated with the surrounding neighborhood and fronting on a public street.
(b) Front yard depth. Front yard depth or setback, for multifamily buildings, in single development or group development, shall be not less than 20 feet measured from the street line or as established otherwise on the zone map.
(c) Distance between facing and overlapping buildings.
1. Distance between facing and overlapping buildings or parts thereof, in a group development or multifamily buildings shall vary in direct relation to the length and height of buildings. Such minimum distance shall be determined by the formula:
Minimum Distance = LA + LB + HA + HB
F
F
2. The elements of the formula are defined as follows.
a. “Minimum distance” means the required minimum horizontal distance between any wall of building “A” and the nearest wall of building “B”, or the vertical prolongation of either;
b. “LA” means the total length of building “A”, which, for the purposes of the formula, is defined as the maximum length of the portion or portions of any wall or walls of building “A” from which lines drawn perpendicular to the face of such wall or walls will intersect any wall of building “B”;
c. “LB” means the total length of building “B” which, for the purposes of this formula, is defined as the maximum length of the portion or portions of any wall or wall of building “B” from which lines drawn perpendicular to the face of such walls or walls will intersect any wall of building “A”;
d. “HA” means the height of building “A”;
e. “HB” means the height of building “B”; and
f. “F” means the divisor factor. “F” is “4" provided, however, the minimum distance between any main wall of any other building shall not be less 20 feet.
(d) Distance in angular arrangements.
1. Distance in angular arrangements of 30 degrees to 60 degrees, such minimum distances are determined by the formula:
Minimum Distance = 2LB + HA + HB - k
F
F
2. The elements of the formula are defined in division (F)(2)(c) above. “K” in the formula varies as the sin of 2n where “n” is the angle from building “B” to building “A” or extensions thereof.
Where “n” is: | 30 to 34 degrees - k=10 ft. |
35 to 39 degrees - k=20 ft. | |
40 to 50 degrees - k=25 ft. | |
51 to 55 degrees - k=20 ft. | |
56 to 60 degrees - k=10 ft. |
(e) Distance between walls of court arrangements. Such minimum distances shall be determined by applying the formula set forth in division (F)(2)(c) above, to each set of facing walls. In arrangements of parallel walls with offset sections, the distance between the corresponding parallel walls shall be determined by said formula. The elements of the formula are illustrated on Figure 1.
(f) Distance between non-overlapping walls.
1. Where walls of two buildings do not directly face each other or do not overlap - that is where lines drawn perpendicular from the face of any wall or any one building will not intersect the face of any wall of another building - the minimum horizontal distance between such buildings shall be not less than one-half of the combined height of the two buildings. Such minimum distances shall be determined by the formula:
Minimum Distance = HA + HB
(g) Distance between building and boundary lines.
1. Distance between building and boundary lines of a multifamily building, or part thereof, in a single development or group development and any side or rear lot line of the parcel of a development area shall vary in direct relation to the length and height of the building. Such minimum distance shall be as determined by the formula:
Minimum Distance = 2(LL) + HA
a. “Minimum distance” means the minimum required horizontal distance between any wall of a building and the nearest side or rear lot line, or boundaries of the parcel or development area;
b. “LL” means the maximum length of the side or rear lot which can be intersected by lines drawn perpendicular from the face or faces of any wall or walls of the building; and
c. “HA” means the height of the building “A”.
3. Where any multifamily development abuts a one- or two-family residential district along any rear property line, the minimum distance from any property line in such districts and any main building shall be not less than the height of the main building.
(h) Townhouse dimensions. A unit of a townhouse shall be not less than 20 feet in width and any main, or longitudinal, wall of a sequence of townhouse units shall not exceed 130 feet in length without a 90 degree offset of at least ten feet, and the aggregate length of any wall, including its offsets, shall not exceed 170 feet in length.
(i) Use and design of yards. The required yards, set forth in this division (F) shall be landscaped and may be used for pedestrian walks and passive recreation areas. If, however, yards between buildings are used for parking areas, driveways or playgrounds, the distances between buildings shall be increased by the dimensions of such intermediary facilities.

The required yards surrounding an existing building shall not be separated in ownership from that portion of the lot upon which the building is located, and no part shall be considered as providing a required yard for any other existing building on the same or on an adjacent lot. A yard shall not be reduced to less than the required dimensions for the district in which it is located by enlarging an existing building, and yard of less than the required dimensions shall not be further reduced in any manner. Every required yard shall be open and unobstructed from the ground upward except for accessory buildings as set forth in division (M) below and projections into yards as set forth in division (N) below.
(H) Front yards of partially built-up blocks. Where a building line has not been established, and where 50% or more of the aggregate street frontage between two successive intersecting streets is occupied by buildings of the type and use permitted in the district before the effective date of this chapter, or any amendments thereto, the minimum front yard for new buildings shall be the average setback distance of existing buildings located within 100 feet on either side of a given lot, provided, however, the depth of the front yard resulting therefrom shall be not less than one-half of the dimensions specified in division (E) above.
(I) Side yards of insufficient width. Where side yards are narrower than required for the district in which the building and lot are located and which was owned separately from all other tracts of land on the effective date of this chapter or any amendment thereto, and is still so owned, the building may be maintained or altered but may not be enlarged in width unless the total width of the side yards complies with the regulations of this chapter.
(J) Yards on corner lots. The depth of the front yard on a corner lot shall be not less than the required setback from the front lot line, and the width of the side yard on the side street shall be not less than one-half of the depth of the front yard required for the adjoining lot which abuts said side street, unless shown otherwise on zone map.
