From the ordinance

The following standards apply to any single-family residential lot in an Agricultural or Residential zoning district created prior to January 1, 1960... The front setback will be reduced to 35 feet. The rear setback will be reduced to 25 feet. For a corner lot where the rear lot line adjoins the rear lot line of the adjoining lot, the street side setback will be reduced to ten percent of the lot width (rounded down to the next lowest foot) or 10 feet, whichever is greater. For a corner lot where the rear lot line adjoins the side lot line of the adjoining single-family residential lot (directly or across an alley or common area less than 30 feet wide), the street side setback will be reduced to 36 percent of the lot width (rounded down to the next lowest foot) or 25 feet, whichever is less. The interior side setback will be reduced to ten percent of the lot width (rounded down to the next lowest foot) or seven feet, whichever is greater. If the dwelling will be served by an individual well or onsite sewage disposal system, the lot must include a primary drainfield with a 100% reserve drainfield area, and must meet current requirements of the Virginia Department of Health in addition to the requirements of this subsection. The height of any principal dwelling on the lot must not exceed 35 feet, or 40 feet if a provisional use permit is approved for additional height (see Sec. 24-2306, Provisional Use Permit).
