§ 52-171. Special front yard regulations.

(a)

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.

(b)

When a building line has been established by plat or ordinance and such line requires greater or lesser front yard setback than is prescribed by this article for the district in which the building line is located, the required front yard shall comply with the building line so established by such ordinance or plat.

(c)

The front yard shall be measured from the property line to the front face of the buildings, covered porch, covered terrace, or attached accessory buildings. Eaves and roof extensions may project into the required front yard for a distance not to exceed four feet and subsurface structures, platforms or slabs may not project into the front yard to a height greater than 40 inches above the average grade of the yard.

(d)

Where lots have a 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.

(e)

Gasoline service station pump islands may not be located nearer than 18 feet to the front property line.
