See Table 904-6 for garage setbacks. <br />2.

A covered front porch or a covered front stoop, with a lateral enclosure of not more than a balustrade, may <br />encroach into the front yard setback by up to 6 feet. <br />4. If an adjacent house has a front yard facing the side street, then the corner side setback shall equal the <br />front setback of the adjacent house. <br />5.
