In the districts indicated, for #zoning lots# containing #cottage envelope buildings#, the following #yards#, #courts# and #open space# regulations may
be modified in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(a)    Lot Coverage

       In R1-2A, R2A, R3-1, R3-2, R4, R4-1, and R4A Districts, the #lot coverage# regulations need not apply. In lieu thereof, the #yard#
       requirements of this Section shall apply.

(b)    Front Yards

       For the purpose of this Section, the area between the #street line# and the #street wall line# of adjacent #buildings# containing #residences# on
       the same or adjoining #zoning lots# fronting on the same #street# shall be considered adjacent #front yards#.

       Where an adjacent #front yard# is shallower than the minimum required pursuant to the applicable district regulations, then the #front yard#
       of the #zoning lot# containing #cottage envelope buildings# may be as shallow as the shallowest adjacent #front yard#.

(c)    Corner Lots

       Where a #corner lot# has a #lot area# equal to or less than 3,000 square feet, only one #front yard# need be provided, and the remaining #front
       lot line# may be treated as a #side lot line#.
