In the event a property being developed abuts a public or private street which has a right-of-way width which is substandard under the standards of the Virginia Department of Transportation or less than the width necessary to accommodate future road improvements based on the comprehensive plan of the county or the plans of the Virginia Department of Transportation or Hampton Roads Metropolitan Planning Organization, the normally required front yard and front perimeter landscape yard depths for said development shall be increased by an amount which is equal to one-half (.5) of the total right-of-way deficiency.
