   INTERIOR SIDE YARD: A side yard which is located immediately adjacent to another zoning lot or to an alley separating such side yard from another zoning lot.

   REAR YARD: A yard extending across the full width of the zoning lot and lying between the rear line of the lot and the nearest line of the principal building.

   SIDE YARD: The yard lying between the nearest line of the principal building and a side lot line, and extending from the required front yard to the required rear yard.

   YARD: An open space on the same zoning lot with a principal building or group of buildings which is unoccupied and unobstructed from its lowest level upward.

   ACCESSORY BUILDING, STRUCTURE OR USE: A subordinate building, structure or use which is located on the same zoning lot on which the principal building or use is situated and which is reasonably necessary and incidental to the conduct of the primary use of such building or main use, when permitted by district regulations.
