Table No. 6
Other District Setbacks and Other Limitations

1. General O-1, B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Front Setback. For lots in zoning districts O-1, B-1 and B-2, an 80-foot front setback is required for a lot with a depth of 600 feet or more.
2. Optional Adjustment to O-1, B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Front Setback. For lots in zoning districts O-1, B-1 and B-2, the front setback line may be reduced by 25 percent if the front landscape buffer is increased to 100 percent of the front setback; provided, however, that in no event will the front setback be less than 25 feet, nor will the front landscape buffer be less than 25 feet.
3. Variable O-1, B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Front Setback. For lots in zoning districts O-1, B-1 and B-2 with less than 600 feet of depth, the front setback will be prorated on the basis of actual depth (e.g., a lot 300 feet deep (50 percent of 600 feet) will require a 40-foot setback (50 percent of 80 feet)), and the front setback may be further reduced by increasing the front landscape buffer as provided above (e.g., 40-foot front setback may be reduced 25 percent to 30 feet if the front landscape buffer is increased to 100 percent of the 30-foot setback).
4. Corner Lots. Corner lots shall maintain a front setback of 80 feet and a side/rear setback of 80 feet on the lot side abutting the side street, as if the lot had two frontages. The front and side/rear setbacks for corner lots shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Notes 2 and 3 above.
5. Variable B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Side Setback. For lots in zoning districts B-1 and B-2 that do not directly abut a residential use or residential zoning district, the above side setback requirement shall be reduced to 15 feet, which may be accomplished by shared setbacks or by placement of a setback on only one lot.
6. Variable Greenbelt O-1, B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Rear Setback. In zoning districts O-1, B-1, and B-2, the rear setback requirement shall be satisfied if the lot abuts a greenbelt of 100 feet or more. If a lot abuts a greenbelt of less than 100 feet, the actual width of the greenbelt shall be included in and correspondingly reduce the required 100-foot setback (e.g., if a lot abuts a 50-foot greenbelt, the rear setback requirement shall be reduced to 50 feet). No rear setback or rear landscape buffer shall be required for any lot that abuts a dedicated easement of 75 feet or more, on which permanent, habitable structures are not permitted:
7. Reduced O-1, B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Rear Setback. In zoning districts O-1, B-1, and B-2, the above provided rear setbacks and landscape buffers shall only apply to lots that abut or are separated by a street from a residential use, residential zoning district or greenbelt that abuts a residential use or residential zoning district. For lots that do not abut (including those separated by a street from such use or district) a residential use, residential zoning district or greenbelt that abuts a residential use or residential zoning district, the rear setback shall be reduced to not less than 15 feet, and for a lot in a B-1 and B-2 zoning district that does not face a street, the rear landscape buffer shall be eliminated.
8. Area Regulation. Except as permitted in CE District, the buildings on any one lot must not cover more than one-third of the entire area of the lot.

Table No. 6
Other District Setbacks and Other Limitations

1. General O-1, B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Front Setback. For lots in zoning districts O-1, B-1 and B-2, an 80-foot front setback is required for a lot with a depth of 600 feet or more.
2. Optional Adjustment to O-1, B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Front Setback. For lots in zoning districts O-1, B-1 and B-2, the front setback line may be reduced by 25 percent if the front landscape buffer is increased to 100 percent of the front setback; provided, however, that in no event will the front setback be less than 25 feet, nor will the front landscape buffer be less than 25 feet.
3. Variable O-1, B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Front Setback. For lots in zoning districts O-1, B-1 and B-2 with less than 600 feet of depth, the front setback will be prorated on the basis of actual depth (e.g., a lot 300 feet deep (50 percent of 600 feet) will require a 40-foot setback (50 percent of 80 feet)), and the front setback may be further reduced by increasing the front landscape buffer as provided above (e.g., 40-foot front setback may be reduced 25 percent to 30 feet if the front landscape buffer is increased to 100 percent of the 30-foot setback).
4. Corner Lots. Corner lots shall maintain a front setback of 80 feet and a side/rear setback of 80 feet on the lot side abutting the side street, as if the lot had two frontages. The front and side/rear setbacks for corner lots shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Notes 2 and 3 above.
5. Variable B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Side Setback. For lots in zoning districts B-1 and B-2 that do not directly abut a residential use or residential zoning district, the above side setback requirement shall be reduced to 15 feet, which may be accomplished by shared setbacks or by placement of a setback on only one lot.
6. Variable Greenbelt O-1, B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Rear Setback. In zoning districts O-1, B-1, and B-2, the rear setback requirement shall be satisfied if the lot abuts a greenbelt of 100 feet or more. If a lot abuts a greenbelt of less than 100 feet, the actual width of the greenbelt shall be included in and correspondingly reduce the required 100-foot setback (e.g., if a lot abuts a 50-foot greenbelt, the rear setback requirement shall be reduced to 50 feet). No rear setback or rear landscape buffer shall be required for any lot that abuts a dedicated easement of 75 feet or more, on which permanent, habitable structures are not permitted:
7. Reduced O-1, B-1, and B-2 Zoning District Rear Setback. In zoning districts O-1, B-1, and B-2, the above provided rear setbacks and landscape buffers shall only apply to lots that abut or are separated by a street from a residential use, residential zoning district or greenbelt that abuts a residential use or residential zoning district. For lots that do not abut (including those separated by a street from such use or district) a residential use, residential zoning district or greenbelt that abuts a residential use or residential zoning district, the rear setback shall be reduced to not less than 15 feet, and for a lot in a B-1 and B-2 zoning district that does not face a street, the rear landscape buffer shall be eliminated.
8. Area Regulation. Except as permitted in CE District, the buildings on any one lot must not cover more than one-third of the entire area of the lot.
