Side setback shown is the minimum interior side yard; minimum exterior (street) side yard is 15 ft. Interior side setback is zero on a party-wall side for attached units (§903.03.D.2). Single-Unit Attached is P/S in R1D: by right on lots 35 ft wide or narrower, special exception on wider lots (§911.04.A.69A). Ch. 916 Residential Compatibility Standards can add height/setback limits near residential/H districts. Parking minimum is 1 per unit for single-unit detached/two/three/multi-unit (0 for single-unit attached); a maximum also applies. §914.02.A Schedule A. Contextual side (min 3 ft), rear and height are also allowed (§925.06.C, §925.06.I, §925.07.D). The code sets no FAR or lot coverage in residential districts. Ch. 915/906 overlays can add limits.",
