Unless a zoning frontage exists, there is no maximum setback for the Townhouse and Apartment building types when a tree conservation area occupies the build-to area.
    3. Tree conservation requirements shall not apply to sites in the -TOD less than 4 acres in size. Sections 9.1.4.A.8. and 9.1.4.B.1 shall not apply to sites in the -TOD.
