In all districts, as indicated, no #side yards# are required. However, if an open area extending along a #side lot line# is provided at
any level, it shall be either:

(a)    at least eight feet wide at every point; or
(b)    at least five feet wide at every point, with an average width of eight feet, such average being the mean of the width of the
        open area at its narrowest point and its width at its widest point, provided that:

        (1)    such widest point shall be on a #street line#;

        (2)    no portion of a #building# shall project beyond a straight line connecting such two points; and

        (3)    in the case of a #zoning lot# bounded by a #side lot line# extending from #street# to #street#, such average shall
                be computed and such open area shall be provided as though each half of such #side lot line# bounded a separate
                #zoning lot#.

The allowances for permitted obstructions in any #yard# or #rear yard equivalent# set forth in Section 33-23 (Permitted
Obstructions in Required Yards or Rear Yard Equivalents), shall be permitted in such open areas.
