    (a) No building shall hereafter be erected, nor shall any use of land be conducted except for agricultural purposes or any other open use not requiring a building or structure, so that the same will be closer to the right of way line of any street than any Official Plan Line or any building line which has been established for such a street by the Street and Highway Plan, or section thereof, of the Master Plan of the City of Las Vegas, or than any future width line or building line which may be specified therefor by the pro­visions of Section XX of this Ordinance. (b) No incidental dwelling shall be less than twenty (20) feet from the rear or side line of a building site. (c) When a lot or a parcel of land in the M-2 District is located partly in or abuts upon any "R" or "C" District then such lot or parcel of land shall have a yard or yards equivalent to the yard requirement of such "R" or "C" District. SECTION XIX: SUPPLEMENTARY LAND USE CLASSIFICATION: A. Uses not specifically permitted in any Land Use District and not specifically excluded therefrom by this Ordinance, may be permitted in that district, as hereinafter set forth, but the Planning Commission, if such uses are similar to and not more obnoxious than the uses specifically permitted in such district by this Ordinance, or if such uses are accessory to uses which are specifically permitted. B. Uses which in the opinion of the Planning Commission are similar to, and as noxious as those uses listed in Section XVIII, paragraph "C", as requiring a use permit shall be prohibited in Land Use District M-2 unless such permit is secured. C. The Planning Commission after having classified such uses in any Land Use District may reclassify such uses when such reclassification does not violate the intent of this ordinance, provided, however, no action shall be taken on the part of the Planning Commission, as contemplated in this section until said Plan­ning Commission shall have published at least once, in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Las Vegas, a notice setting forth briefly the action contemplated and the time and place when it will hear ob­jections to such action which shall not be less than fifteen (15) days after the publication of aforesaid notice. D. Each use which is classified or reclassified according to the provisions of this Section as per­mitted in any Land Use District shall be entered on a list to be known as "Supplementary Land Use Classifi­cation," with the date upon which such opinion is reached by the Planning Commission, the Land Use District in which it is classified and the conditions or limitations under which each such use may be permitted in such Land Use District. The governing body shall be furnished a copy of such list, and notice of each Supplementary Land Use Classification made by the Planning Commission shall be submitted to the Governing Body prior to the next regular meeting of the Governing Body following the date of such opinion. Such classification of any use in any Land Use District shall have the same force and effect as if such use were classified in this Ordinance SECTION XX: MINIMUM BUILDING LINE SETBACKS AND FUTURE WIDTH LINES; A. For the purpose of measuring yard dimensions and determining building locations with respect to future width lines as provided in this Ordinance, the following minimum building line setbacks and future width lines are hereby established for the following streets and highways, such establishment being made pending the establishment of official plan lines based upon the Street and Highway Plan, or sections thereof, of the Master Plan of the City of Las Vegas. No building or structure nor portion thereof shall hereafter be erected, nor shall any portion of a building extending into the building setback distance be altered, nor shall any use of land for agricultural purposes or any other open use not requiring a building or structure, so that the same will be closer to the right of way line of any street than any official plan line or any building line or setback which has been established for such street by the Street and Highway Plan, or section thereof, of the Master Plan of the City of Las Vegas, or than any future width line, building line or setback, which may be specified therefor by the provisions of this ordinance, or as follows: 1.
