§ 6. Yard setback regulations.

All yard setbacks shall be the same as those of the R-2 single-family dwelling district except as follows:

1.

Side and rear yard setbacks in the PIM district for such yards abutting single-family residential districts shall be the same as that required in the abutting residential district for the same yard set-back. (Example: a PIM side yard abutting a R-1 district shall have a ten-foot side yard which is the side yard required in the R-1 district. In the case of a PIM rear yard abutting the R-3 district, the required rear yard would be 15 feet, the rear yard of the R-3 district.)

2.

No front yard shall be used for parking, although driveways providing access to other portions of the site that do not exceed 16 feet in width and are not planned as parking areas may be placed within a required front yard.

3.

No paved or impervious surfaces of any kind, including but not limited to driveways, sidewalks, patios, parking areas, etc., shall be allowed within the required minimum side and rear yard setback areas. These shall be preserved exclusively for landscaping and green space buffers.

4.

For the purpose of interpreting and enforcing the yard requirements of this article, the entire area included within the PIM site development plan shall be considered as a single lot and the only front, rear and side yards that need to be observed are those provided for in subsection 2. of section 3 and subsection 7. of section 1 of this article.
