              required window#;

              “wall to window” is a condition where two walls of #buildings# face each other, and one wall contains a #legally
              required window# and the other wall does not contain a #legally required window#;

              “window to window” is a condition where two walls of #buildings# face each other, and both walls contain a
              #legally required window#.

Such minimum distance shall be as indicated in the following table:


              Wall Condition        Maximum #building# height above #base plane# or
                                              #curb level#, as applicable
