A. Area per dwelling unit and lot dimensions. For a single-family dwelling, the minimum land area shall be 11,000 square feet, and the minimum width of the lot at the front building line shall be not less than 75 feet. However, this shall not apply to prevent the construction of a single-family dwelling on a lot existing prior to the date of enactment of this chapter and not adjoined at the side by another unoccupied lot or other unoccupied land in the same ownership having an area of not less than 7,500 square feet and a width at the front building line of not less than 65 feet.

B. Front yards. Front yards shall be determined in the same manner as set forth in § 215-15, and the building setback lines established by § 215-56 shall take precedence.

C. Rear yards. Rear yards shall be the same as for R-1 Residence Districts as set forth in § 215-15.

D. Side yards.

(1) For each dwelling, there shall be two side yards with a total width of not less than 20 feet, except that for each foot a lot of record which existed prior to the date of enactment of this chapter is less than 65 feet wide at the front building line, the total width of the two side yards may be reduced to a minimum of 16 feet. However, in no case shall the minimum width of any one side yard be less than eight feet.
