No accessory uses or structures shall be located in any required yard except as provided for below or as otherwise permitted in this code:

(1) In all zoning districts, accessory uses and structures over 120 square feet shall not be located in required front yards, but may be located in required side or rear yards, not less than five feet from the side or rear lot line; provided, however, that accessory structures for the housing of persons, such as a garage apartment, shall not be located in any required yard. Additionally, notwithstanding the minimum front yard setback requirement for single-family detached dwellings, any garage, whether attached or detached, shall have a minimum front yard setback requirement of 20 feet.

(2) In all zoning districts, rooftop air conditioning and ventilating units shall be so screened as to not be visible from the immediate public right-of-way. This requirement shall not apply to single-family detached dwelling units.

(3) When an accessory building is attached to and made a part of the main building for at least 50 percent of the length of one of the abutting walls of such accessory buildings, or when the total length of the abutting walls of the accessory building is equal to 50 percent of the longest wall of the accessory building, then the accessory building shall be considered an integral part of the main building.

(4) An accessory building, unless attached to and made a part of the main building, shall be not closer than five feet to the main building. (Ord. 1264 § 5, 2010; Ord. 1110 § 3, 2002; Ord. 929 Ch. 6(K), 1995).
