C. 
Exceptions to yard requirements.

Where a lot is situated between two lots, each of which is developed with a main building which projects beyond the established front building line as required by this chapter and has been so maintained since the enactment of this chapter, the minimum front yard requirement of such lot may be the average alignment of the front yards of said existing buildings.
D. 
Exceptions to maximize solar gain.
