2.
When the street right-of-way line described a curve, an alternate method of measurement is herein provided and may be used at the option of the property owner or developer. The front yard may be measured at right angles to a chord extended between the points where the right-of-way line intersects the side lot line.
3.
When adjoining front yards are less than required in the zone and when the average depth of existing front yards, located within one hundred (100') feet of either side of a lot and within the same block and zone is less than that required in the zone, the minimum depth of the front yard required for any newly constructed building shall be the average front yard depth of the aforementioned lots on either side.
B.

A.
When abutting an alley, the rear yard may be measured to the center line of the alley.
B.
Where a lot is wedge-shaped or otherwise irregularly shaped in the rear yard, a rear yard of less than normal depth is permitted under the following conditions: The minimum depth is at least one-half (½) the normally required rear yard depth, and the total area in the rear yard is not less than the total area in the rear yard of a rectangular shaped lot having the minimum width required for the zone in question. The rear yard in such instances shall be computed by extending a line that intersects the side lot lines and intersects or coincides with the rear-most wall of the main building, and which line parallel to the front property line, or a chord extended across the curve of the property line. All the area enclosed by the aforementioned line, the side lot lines and the rear lot line or lines shall be computed as the rear yard area.
C.
In less restrictive zones and within one hundred (100') feet of a residential or business zone, rear yards shall have a minimum depth equal to that required in the more restricted zone.
713.3
Side Yard.
A.
On corner lots in residential zones, the side yard fronting on an existing street, or platted and recorded street, that is unimproved shall have a depth of not less than fifty (50) percent of the required front yard depth or ten (10) feet, whichever is greater.
B.
In less restrictive zones and within one hundred (100) feet of a residential or business zone, side yards shall have a minimum width equal to that required in the more restricted zone, unless a greater width is required for the zone in which it is located.
C.
For a lot of record, which qualifies pursuant to Section 402.3 as legally non-conforming and which measures fifty (50) feet or less in width, the Zoning Official is authorized to grant a variance of side yard minimum footage to allow a side yard setback equal to, but not less than, twenty-five percent (25%) of the lot width. Said action may be taken without notice to or action by the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
713.4

B.
The depth of an outer court is the horizontal distance between the mid-point of the principal open end to the mid-point of the opposite end.
C.
The minimum space shall be fifty (50) feet if the buildings are located so that the front of one building faces either the front or rear of another building and twenty (20) feet when buildings are oriented in any manner (e.g., front to side).
On a corner lot in any Residential Zone, nothing shall be parked, erected, placed, planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as materially to impede visibility across the corner between a height of two and one-half (2 ½) and ten (10) feet above the centerline grades of the intersecting streets and within twenty-five (25) feet of the corner as measured at the property line, with the exception of the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Nicholson Avenue, where parking shall be prohibited within fifty (50) feet of these two (2) intersections.

Front Yard.
A.
Measurement of depth.
1.
The normal method of measurement is the shortest possible distance measured horizontally between any part of a main building and any part of the front lot line.
2.
When the street right-of-way line described a curve, an alternate method of measurement is herein provided and may be used at the option of the property owner or developer. The front yard may be measured at right angles to a chord extended between the points where the right-of-way line intersects the side lot line.
3.
When adjoining front yards are less than required in the zone and when the average depth of existing front yards, located within one hundred (100') feet of either side of a lot and within the same block and zone is less than that required in the zone, the minimum depth of the front yard required for any newly constructed building shall be the average front yard depth of the aforementioned lots on either side.
B.
Determination of front yard on corner lots. Where a lot is a corner lot fronting on two existing or proposed streets that intersect, the front yard may be designated by the owner without respect to the location of the front yard.
713.2
Rear Yard.
A.
When abutting an alley, the rear yard may be measured to the center line of the alley.
B.
Where a lot is wedge-shaped or otherwise irregularly shaped in the rear yard, a rear yard of less than normal depth is permitted under the following conditions: The minimum depth is at least one-half (½) the normally required rear yard depth, and the total area in the rear yard is not less than the total area in the rear yard of a rectangular shaped lot having the minimum width required for the zone in question. The rear yard in such instances shall be computed by extending a line that intersects the side lot lines and intersects or coincides with the rear-most wall of the main building, and which line parallel to the front property line, or a chord extended across the curve of the property line. All the area enclosed by the aforementioned line, the side lot lines and the rear lot line or lines shall be computed as the rear yard area.
C.
In less restrictive zones and within one hundred (100') feet of a residential or business zone, rear yards shall have a minimum depth equal to that required in the more restricted zone.
713.3
Side Yard.
A.
On corner lots in residential zones, the side yard fronting on an existing street, or platted and recorded street, that is unimproved shall have a depth of not less than fifty (50) percent of the required front yard depth or ten (10) feet, whichever is greater.
B.
In less restrictive zones and within one hundred (100) feet of a residential or business zone, side yards shall have a minimum width equal to that required in the more restricted zone, unless a greater width is required for the zone in which it is located.
C.
For a lot of record, which qualifies pursuant to Section 402.3 as legally non-conforming and which measures fifty (50) feet or less in width, the Zoning Official is authorized to grant a variance of side yard minimum footage to allow a side yard setback equal to, but not less than, twenty-five percent (25%) of the lot width. Said action may be taken without notice to or action by the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
713.4
Irregular Yard Lines. Where a wall of a building is not parallel with the lot line or where the lot line is irregular, the required depth or width of any such yard may be taken as the average depth or width; provided, however, that the side yard shall not be narrower than ten (10) feet at any point and the front yard not less than fifteen (15) feet at any point.
713.5

B.
The depth of an outer court is the horizontal distance between the mid-point of the principal open end to the mid-point of the opposite end.
C.
The minimum space shall be fifty (50) feet if the buildings are located so that the front of one building faces either the front or rear of another building and twenty (20) feet when buildings are oriented in any manner (e.g., front to side).
On a corner lot in any Residential Zone, nothing shall be parked, erected, placed, planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as materially to impede visibility across the corner between a height of two and one-half (2 ½) and ten (10) feet above the centerline grades of the intersecting streets and within twenty-five (25) feet of the corner as measured at the property line, with the exception of the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Nicholson Avenue, where parking shall be prohibited within fifty (50) feet of these two (2) intersections.
