When an abutting lot is vacant, the required front yard setback shall be used in calculating the average.

However, in no case shall a front yard setback be reduced to less than 10 feet. B. R Districts - Religious Assembly Yard Requirements. Yards, height and bulk, and buffering requirements shall be as specified by a use permit, provided that, where adjacent to a building site in an R district, the minimum interior side yard shall be 15 feet and the minimum rear yard shall be 20 feet.
