Where the frontage on one side of a street between two intersecting streets is divided by two or more zoning districts, the front yard shall comply with the requirements of the most restrictive district for the entire frontage.

(3)

Where lots have double frontage, running through from one street to another, a required front yard shall be provided on both streets unless a building line for accessory buildings has been established along one frontage on the plat or by ordinance, in which event only one required front yard need be observed.

(4)

Where a future right-of-way line has been established for future widening or opening of a street or thoroughfare upon which a lot abuts, the front or side yard shall be measured from the future right-of-way line.

(2)

The ordinary projections of window sills, belt courses, cornices, and other architectural features not more than 12 inches into the required side yard; and

(i) The height of any multifamily building sited on a lot adjacent to an area zoned for single-family dwellings or where single-family dwellings of one story in height exist shall be limited to one story for a distance of 60 feet from the single-family district boundary or the lot on which the single-family dwelling is located.

(j) It should be noted that the lot area required is not reached through a simple mathematical calculation involving lot width and lot depth. These are minimums, one or both will have to be exceeded at the discretion of the developer in order to meet the minimum lot area requirement.

(k) Lot width for a lot containing multifamily, townhouse, or zero lot line units shall be not less than 20 feet per ground floor unit plus side yard requirements. Lot width for other permitted uses shall not be less than 60 feet.

(l) Residential lots within the Original Town Residential District require one off-street parking space. No carport or garage is required.
