Every single-family district in Table 4.2 requires a 30-foot front yard. Side and rear yards tighten as lots shrink: R-1 needs 10 feet per side totaling 30, R-2 needs 8 feet totaling 20, and rear yards run 20 feet.
Table 4.2 sets the single-family bulk standards. E-1 requires a one-acre lot, 120-foot width, 30-foot front yard, 20-foot side yards and a 40-foot rear yard. R-1 takes 15,000 square feet and 90 feet of width, with 10-foot side yards totaling 30 feet and a 20-foot rear yard. R-1A drops to 12,000 square feet and 80 feet, side yards totaling 20 feet. R-2 uses 9,000 square feet and 60 feet, and R-2A 6,000 square feet and 40 feet, both with 8-foot side yards totaling 20 feet. Unattached accessory uses keep 10 feet from side and rear lines.
Building into a required yard is unlawful under Section 11.9. Citations go to Clarksville Municipal Court, with a civil fine up to $50 for each day the violation continues.
