(1) Upon the petition of a majority of the owners of lots, or parts thereof, in any district comprising one (1) or more blocks fronting on any residential street in any city of the second class, the city council shall have the power to prohibit, by ordinance, the use of the front part of the lots, for the distance of two-thirds (2/3) of the depth thereof from the street, for stables, barns, or other outhouses, or for stock lots.
(2) Persons already so using such property shall have six (6) months in which to remove such buildings or discontinue such use.
