Authorized departures from yard requirements

The following are allowable departures from front, rear and side yard requirements as contained in Article VI:

Where a lot is adjacent on one or both sides to another lot having a principal building which projects beyond the required front yard line, and has been so maintained since this chapter became effective, the front yard requirement on such lot may be the average of the front yards of the adjoining lots having buildings thereon. In no case shall the front yard be less than 20 feet.
• B. Projections of cornices, window sills and other ornamental features may extend up to one foot into any required yard area from the structure.
