9.0500 fj) 9.2160 @ 9.2161(1) (j) Table 9.2170 9.2171(5)(c) @ 9.2171(5) @ 9.2171(11,d) 9.8030 @ 9.2171(15)(e) @ 9.2173(1 O)(c) (@ "'Vision clearance area" definition regarding dimensions Conditional Use Permit (CUP) required for R V sales in C.2 zone C-1 limitation of 5,000 square feet of floor area per tenant as it relates to existing buildings Percent of building fa~ade required within 15' maximum setback for General Office (GO) zone Buildings in C-2 & C-3 are required to be within 15' of a street Of "Internal private way" Outdoor Display within required setback Reference to stacking lane requirements Large commercial building standards -loading docks. Standard requires ground floor windows on aU sides of a large commercial building, including. loading docks. The definition explains how to determine the vision clearance triangle but doem't denote that the triangle legs are 35' long. CUP requirement excessive compared to other similar uses which are permitted outright (i.e. auto and motorcycle sales, auto repair, service stations). R V issues addressed through commercial design standards. CUP process in these cases doesn't add value. Code is unclear if 5,000 sq. ft. limitation applies to new tenants in existing buildings which already exceed 5,000 sq ft. GO zone does not specify the minimum percentage of building facade that is required within the 15' maximum setback. C-2/C-3 zones require 25% of the building to be within the setback; C-1 requIres 80%. "Internal private way" is not defined. Term is intended to account for internal streets within a commercial center, which are distinguished from drive aisles, by providing curb and raised sidewalk designs. Only plant and garden supply displays are allowed within 7' of front property line within C- 2 & 0.4. Does not allow other potentially acceptable forms of outdoor display (e.g. antiques, art) Code incorrectly references the parking lot standards rather than drive-through standards. Since loading docks typically don't face public view, windows would pose little benefit and pose potential conflicts with design of the loading dock. Include the dimension of35 feet in the defmition to coincide with the figure. Allow R V sales in C.2 zone as a permitted use consistent with auto-related uses. Clarify that the limitation only applies to new buildings in C-l, so as to enable tenant reuse of existing building. Clarify the minimum percent of building frontage that must be located within the maximum setback. GO zone is typically considered to be less intense than C-2/C-3 and more intense than C-1. Therefore, a requirement of 60% was determined appropriate. The code already contains definitions \vithin the "Large Commercial Facilities" development standards which address the same issue. Amendment would reference these defmitions. Establish an adjustment review option for outdoor displays consistent with purpose of commercial design standards. Replace current reference with correct reference to drive- through standards. Exempt the window requirement along walls containing loading docks.
