ORDINANCE NO. NS- 1721 PAGE TWENTY-FIVE (e) (3) The depth of required yards may be reduced fifty (50) per cent for any single-story building used solely for commercial purposes, if an equivalent area contiguous with the building is substituted in pedestrian mall or arcade landscaped entirely with decorative materials and plants, provided that no such building shall be closer than ten (10) feet to another building and no pedestrian access- way shall be less than six (6) feet. Minimum distances between buildings. The minimum distances between buildings shall be as follows: (1) The minimum distance between parallel walls of two (2) main buildings or between (2) par- allel facing walls of the same building shall be the sum of the yard depth requirements of both walls. (2) (3) (4) (5) For obliquely aligned buildings, the required distance between two (2) main buildings may be decreased a maximum of five (5) feet at one end if increased an equal distance at the other end, provided that the minimum distance in no case shall be less than ten (10) feet. The distance between two (2) parallel main buildings facing each other for only a portion of their lengths may be reduced if the extent of their overlap does not exceed twenty (20) per cent of the length of either facing wall. The minimum distance between said buildings shall be equal to the full yard depth require- ment of the longer facing wall plus three- fourths (3/4) of the yard depth requirement of only the overlapping portion of the shorter facing wall. Any pedestrian accessory shall have a minimum width of six (6) feet. The requirements of (1) through (4) above shall apply whether the required spaces are open to the sky or covered.
