5. There may be two (2) or more related multi-family, hotel, motel or institutional buildings on a lot; provided that (1) the required yards be maintained around the group of buildings, and (2) buildings that are parallel or that are within forty-five degrees (45°) of being parallel be separated by a horizontal distance that is at least equal to the height of the highest building.

6. Those parts of existing buildings that violate yard regulations may be repaired and remodeled, but not reconstructed or structurally altered.
