(1) In the case of single-family or two-family lots fronting on a cul-de-sac bulb, the lot frontage may be reduced to 45 feet so long as the minimum lot width is achieved at the front yard setback line. For multifamily or groups of buildings with lots fronting on a cul-de-sac bulb, the lot frontage may be reduced to 70 feet so long as the lot width is at least 80 feet measured at the front yard setback line.

(2) Where 75 percent or more of the lots on any one block or portion thereof in the same zoning district have been improved with buildings, the required front yard may be reduced to a depth equal to the average of the front yards of the improved lots.

(3) With one foot of additional setback for each foot above 30 feet for three-story buildings.

(4) Ground-mounted mechanical equipment may be placed as indicated; provided, that the equipment is six feet or less in height and is constructed and/or insulated so that audibility beyond the property line is limited to the maximum extent feasible.

(5) The Planning Commission may approve up to a 10 percent increase in the allowable lot coverage where it is found that sufficient open spaces and recreation areas can be provided through efficient and well-organized use of the land or where it is necessary to promote an affordable housing project.
