(2)

Side yard abutting a street or alley on a corner lot shall be not less than fifteen feet in width;

(5)

There shall be a twenty-foot-wide setback between any "I-1" use (including permitted, conditional, accessory uses or structures or on-site parking) and the lot line of any adjacent "R" district lot. For the purposes of this subsection, outside storage, signage, parking, fencing, parking, loading dock(s), driveways and other similar uses that may be located outside of the buildings on the site are considered industrial uses and must be set back from an adjacent residential property line as noted here;

(6)

The following minimum requirements shall be observed subject to the additional requirements, exceptions and modifications as set forth in Chapter 23.38:

(a)

Lot area: ten thousand square feet;

(b)

(d)

Side yard width: every lot, which does not abut on a public street or alley, shall have side yards of twelve feet or more. If parking is provided in any side yard then the side yard shall be at least twenty feet in depth plus driving lane if required. If a side yard is adjacent to an "R" district, then the side yard setback shall be at least twenty-five feet between any "I" use on the site and the adjacent property line. For the purposes of this section, outside storage, signage, fencing, parking, loading dock(s), driveways and other similar uses that may be located outside of the buildings on the site are considered industrial uses and must be set back from an adjacent residential property line as noted here;

(e)

Rear yard depth: if the building has no openings on the alley side or abutting rear lot line, and off-street loading is provided to the side or front of the building, the building may extend to within twelve feet of the lot line; or if no alley exists the building may extend to within one-half the height of the building or twelve feet from the lot line, whichever is greater; or if the abutting lot is in the "B" or "I" district, the building may extend to within twelve feet of the lot line. If the building is to have openings, the building may extend to within twenty-five feet of the rear lot line if the lot across the line is zoned "B" or "I." See also Section 23.36.010 for further information on "Off-Street Loading and Unloading Areas." If an area zoned "R" is located across the property line adjacent to the rear yard, then all "I" related uses shall be set back at least twenty-five feet from the adjacent property line. For the purposes of this subsection, outside storage, signage, parking, fencing, loading dock(s), driveways and other similar uses that may be located outside of the buildings on the site are considered industrial uses and must be set back from an adjacent "R" zone as noted here;

(7)

In no case may any structure except for fences be constructed in utility easement areas along front, side or rear property lines;
