An application for new construction or expansion of development in Zone C-MJ may be referred to Public Works for review of the project's impacts to infrastructure.
Where the Director of Public Works finds that based on the traffic, water, or sewer studies that the existing infrastructure is inadequate to serve a project, the Director may require the applicant to construct, install, or provide additional funds to construct or install, the necessary infrastructure to protect public health, safety, and welfare.

For multi-tenant retail centers containing three or more businesses, a sign program shall be required to coordinate all business signs within the development.

Trash enclosures for refuse and recycling bins shall be: a. Located within parking areas or structures, or at the rear or side of buildings, or between buildings, and shall not be placed between a building and a street; b.
