What are the corner lot setback rules in Royal Oak?

In 1F, a corner side-street yard is 10 feet where the adjacent lot does not front that street; lots with frontage below 50 feet may reduce it to 8 feet. Where the adjacent lot does front that street, the interior-lot front setback applies: greater of 25 feet or adjacent-dwelling average, capped at 50 feet (§ 770-34D(5)).

1FL and 2F specify the 10-foot side-street yard and the same adjacent-fronting-lot distinction, without the 1F narrow-lot 8-foot exception (§§ 770-35D(5), 770-36D(5)). The 1FL text has a missing punctuation mark but states both branches of the rule. Section 770-21C(4) otherwise requires front setbacks along both street frontages. Accessory buildings have the additional corner-lot restriction in § 770-22A(9).
