RM-1 yard standards are in the Article 20 schedule and include special street-facing side-yard entries and site-plan-dependent building spacing. Confirm the exact setback line from the schedule and Section 2002 before designing a multifamily site.
RM-2 setbacks vary by building height and street/frontage condition. Section 2003 adds special rules for two-story-or-less buildings and buildings over two stories, so the Article 20 schedule and Section 2003 should be read together before laying out an RM-2 site.
B-1 front and side setbacks are context-sensitive. Section 2005 starts with a 15 foot minimum front yard and 10 foot minimum side yard, but Planning Commission review can consider established block patterns and adjacent buildings.
