The applicable #rear yard# and #rear yard equivalent# regulations shall be modified as follows:

(a)    Permitted obstructions

        In any #rear yard# or #rear yard equivalent#, any #building# or portion of a #building# used for #commercial#,
        #manufacturing#, or #residential uses#, other than dwelling units, shall be a permitted obstruction, provided that the
        height of such #building# shall not exceed one #story#, excluding #basement#, nor in any event 23 feet above #curb
        level#.

        In addition, in M1-5 Districts paired with an R9X District north of Howard Street, in any #rear yard#, any #building#
        or portion of a #building# used for any permitted non-#residential use#, shall be a permitted obstruction, provided that
        the height of such #building#, or portion thereof, shall not exceed two #stories#, excluding #basements#, nor in any
        event 30 feet above #curb level#.

        Any allowance for other permitted obstructions above a #building# in a #rear yard# or #rear yard equivalent# set forth
        in Section 43-23, shall be permitted above such modified height limitations.

(b)    Required #rear yards#

        For all #uses#, a #rear yard# with a depth of not less than 20 feet shall be provided at every #rear lot line# on any #zoning
        lot#, except as follows:

        (1)    no #rear yard# shall be required within 100 feet of the point of intersection of two #street lines# intersecting at
                an angle of 135 degrees or less;

        (2)    whenever a #front lot line# of a #zoning lot# coincides with the #short dimension# of a block#, no #rear yard#
               shall be required within 100 feet of such #front lot line#; and
        (3)      for shallow interior lots, the provisions of paragraph (b) of Section 23-342 (Rear yard requirements) may be
                  applied.

(c)   Required #rear yard equivalents#

        For #buildings#, or portions thereof, containing non-#residential uses#, no #rear yard equivalent# shall be required on
        any #through lot# or #through lot# portion of a #zoning lot#.

        For #buildings#, or portions thereof, containing #residential uses#, on any #through lot# that is 110 feet or more in
        maximum depth from #street# to #street#, a #rear yard equivalent# consisting of an open area with a minimum depth of
        40 feet midway, or within 10 feet of being midway, between the two #street lines# upon which such #through lot#
        fronts, shall be provided.

        For shallow #interior lots#, the provisions of paragraph (b)(2) of Section 23-344 (Rear yard equivalent requirements)
        may be applied.

        The provisions of 43-30 (Special Provisions Applying Along District Boundaries), shall not apply along the district
        boundaries of two M1 Districts paired with #Residence Districts#.
