Section 25 SETBACKS AND AREA REQUIREMENTS
A. General Requirements

1. Setbacks for existing developed areas may be established as per existing uses. See Section 27C of these regulations.

2. Any specific provisions for setbacks in the sections of this Ordinance shall have precedence over the general setbacks herein specified.

3. Distances between dwellings or between a dwelling and other main structure on any single lot for all zones shall be twenty (20) feet where buildings face front to front, rear to rear, or front to rear; otherwise, regular side yards shall apply. Approval for "SD" zone shall be as per design.

4. On corner lots, the shortest side of the lot shall be considered the front of the lot. The longer side of the lot shall be considered as a secondary frontage, and a minimum of ten (10) feet setback may be observed. In any subdivision where a corner lot is designed with marginal minimum areas, the corner lot shall have the same usable lot area as interior lots of similar dimensions. Usable lot area, for this purpose, includes the main building area remaining after setbacks and/or easement areas have been subtracted. For computing the usable area of a corner lot, rear yard areas shall be included. The rear yard being determined from the lot line opposite the front of the lot, based on the definition of the front of the lot. For a vari-sided lot, the setbacks will be determined in the same manner as when processing a building permit.
