(b)   On a corner lot, the front yard shall be the yard adjacent to the narrower street frontage. If the street frontages are the same width, then the property owner shall designate a front yard.

(c)   For each dwelling unit in a multiple-family dwelling: 350 square feet for 1 room, 550 square feet for 2 rooms, 750 square feet for 3 rooms, and an average of 200 square feet for each room in excess of 3 rooms.

(d)   Except that any building within 100 feet of a residential district shall not exceed 15 feet in height.

(e)   Structures for agricultural operations may be permitted up to 75 feet in height.

(f)   Side and rear yards shall be 10% of the lot width and depth respectively, but need not exceed 40 feet each, except where a lot in this district abuts a lot in any residential district. No building in the M-1 district shall be closer than 100 feet to the property line of the residential district lot.

(g)   Equal to the side setback of the principle structure on the lot immediately abutting the lot line in question.

(h)   The maximum front setback in the VC district shall be determined by averaging the front setbacks of the principle buildings on the block of the lot in question.
