7. A detached accessory building located within a corner side yard may be reviewed under the side yard setback standard rather than the corner side standard if both adjoining streets are local streets and the street along the corner side terminates in a dead end, cul-de-sac, or right-of-way that is not actively used by through traffic. Adequate corner visibility must be maintained in accordance with Section 915.030. SECTION 4. Table 904-7 of the Little Canada Zoning Ordinance is repealed in its entirety. SECTION 5. Table 904-8 of the Little Canada Zoning Ordinance is amended to read as follows: Table 904-8: Required Setbacks, R-2 District 1. The front setback shall be applied as a “build-to” distance except in instances of “setback averaging” as allowed by #2, below. See Table 904-6 for garage setbacks. 2. If two or more existing houses on the same side of the block have front setbacks other than the standard, the setbacks for the remaining lots on that side of the block shall be the average setback of the existing houses. 3. If an adjacent house has a front yard facing the side street, then the corner side setback shall equal the front setback of the adjacent house. 4. If primary vehicle access is provided from the rear, driveways may have a zero (0) foot setback from the rear property line. Any driveway accessing the front yard shall comply with the front yard setback applicable to the principal structure. 5. Shared driveways may have zero (0) foot setback from the side property line subject to the conditions outlined in Section 915.060. 6. Driveways may have a zero (0) foot setback from the corner side property line when providing primary vehicle access from the corner side yard. Driveway access from both the front and corner side yards may be permitted with zero (0) foot setbacks, subject to approval by the City Engineer and Zoning Administrator based on site- specific factors such as lot configuration, circulation, and pedestrian safety. In all cases, driveways must be designed to minimize conflicts with pedestrian areas and comply with visibility and drainage standards. SECTION 6.
