In all districts, as indicated, the #rear yard# requirements set forth in Section 23-342 (Rear yard requirements) shall be modified
as set forth in this Section.

(a)    Beyond one hundred feet of a #street line#

       In all districts, as indicated, for #interior# or #through lot# portions of #corner lots#, and for #zoning lots# bounded by
       two or more #streets# that are neither #corner lots# nor #through lots#, the portion of a #side lot line# beyond 100 feet
       of the #street line# that it intersects shall be considered a #rear lot line# and the following rules shall apply along such
       #rear lot line#:

       (1)    In all districts, a #rear yard# shall be provided in accordance with Section 23-342 (Rear yard requirements), where
              such #rear lot line# coincides with a #rear lot line# of an adjoining #zoning lot#.




       (2)    In R1 through R5 Districts, a #rear yard# with a minimum depth of five feet shall be provided where such #rear
              lot line# coincides with a #side lot line# of an adjoining #zoning lot#.
      (3)    In R6 through R12 Districts, no #rear yard# shall be required where such #rear lot line# coincides with a #side lot
             line# of an adjoining #zoning lot#.

(b)   Within one hundred feet of corners

      In the districts indicated, 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.

(c)   Along #short dimension of a block#

      In the districts indicated, whenever a #front lot line# of a #zoning lot# coincides with the #street line# of the #short
      dimension of a block#, no #rear yard# shall be required within 100 feet of such #street line#.

(d)   For zoning lots with multiple #rear lot lines#

      In all districts, as indicated, for #zoning lots# with multiple #rear lot lines#, if a #rear yard# extends from a #rear lot line#
      away from the #street line# which is used to determine such #rear lot line#, the following rules shall apply along such
      #rear lot line# :

      (1)    In all districts, where any such #rear lot line# coincides with the #rear lot line# of an adjoining #zoning lot#, a
             #rear yard# shall be provided in accordance with Section 23-342 (Rear yard requirements).
(2)   In R1 through R5 Districts, a #rear yard# with a minimum depth of five feet shall be provided where such #rear
      lot line# coincides with a #side lot line# of an adjoining #zoning lot#.




(3)   In R6 through R12 Districts, no #rear yard# shall be required where such #rear lot line# coincides with a #side lot
      line# of an adjoining #zoning lot#.

(4)   In all districts, for portions of #through lots# that have multiple #rear lot lines# and such portions are not subject
      to #interior lot# regulations, the #street line# bounding the #zoning lot# closest to such #rear lot line# shall be
      used to determine compliance with this Section.
