Wherever possible, buildings should be sited in relation to each other to create a system of semi-enclosed and usable outdoor areas. Buildings should be located so that the buildings and landscaped areas, not parking areas, create the dominant positive impression of site character fi-om the surrounding s~eets. o Setback variations among buildings along a s~'eet are required. No two neighboring Exceptions to the stated setback requirements are: buildings shall have the I~:==~ same setback for more than. 40% of their frontages. ~ a.
