Yards:

A front yard or a side yard adjoining a street shall be measured by the perpendicular distance between the street and a line through the corner or face of the building closest to and drawn parallel with the street, excluding any architectural features.

b.

The yard requirements of the zone district in which the property is located shall apply.

c.

Rear yards on residential lots may be less than the required setback, provided that a site plan authorizing such reduction is approved. The site plan authorizing such reduction may be approved only upon a finding that the reduction will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the area, and will not be contrary to the objectives of this chapter. Space equal to the reduction shall be provided elsewhere on the lot, exclusive of required yard areas. Such replacement space shall be so located that it is suitable for general use by the occupant of the premises. In no case shall the rear yard be reduced to less than the required side yard.

(2)

Space between buildings. All buildings shall comply with the space between building requirements of the district in which they are located.

(3)

Lot coverage. All buildings shall comply with the maximum building coverage requirements of the district in which they are located.
