In the districts indicated, the maximum #lot coverage# set forth in Section 23-361 (Maximum lot coverage in R1 through R5
Districts) or 23-362 (Maximum lot coverage in R6 through R12 Districts), as applicable, may be increased in accordance with
the provisions of this Section.

(a)   Shallow #zoning lots#

      For #zoning lots# eligible for the #rear yard# modifications for shallow #interior lots# set forth in Section 23-342 (Rear
      yard requirements) or the #rear yard equivalent# modifications for shallow #through lots# set forth in Section 23-344
      (Rear yard equivalent requirements), the maximum #lot coverage# of such #zoning lot#, or portion thereof, may be
      increased by one percent for every five feet the depth of such #zoning lot#, or portion thereof, is less than 95 feet for
      #interior lots# or 190 feet for #through lots#. Where the #front lot line# or #rear lot line# of a #zoning lot# intersects a
      #side lot line# at an angle other than 90 degrees, the depth of such #zoning lot#, or portion thereof, shall be measured at
      the midpoint of such irregularly angled #lot line#.

      In no event shall the maximum #lot coverage# of an #interior lot# or #through lot# exceed 90 percent. Shallow portions
      of a #zoning lot# may exceed such maximum, so long as the adjusted maximum #lot coverage# complies with such
      maximum.

(b)    Within 100 feet of corners

      In the districts indicated, for #interior# or #through lots#, or portions thereof, within 100 feet of the point of
      intersection of two #street lines# intersecting at an angle of 135 degrees or less, the maximum #lot coverage# shall be 100
      percent.

(c)   Along the short dimension of the block

      In the districts indicated, whenever a #front lot line# of an #interior# or #through lot# coincides with the #street line# of
      the #short dimension of a block#, the maximum #lot coverage# for such #zoning lot#, or portion thereof, shall be 100
      percent within 100 feet of such #street line#.
