General provisions

142 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.

Sec. 130-993 standards

Notwithstanding any other requirement of this chapter, motor vehicle sales and rental or heavy equipment sales and rental, where permitted, shall conform with the following requirements: (a) Each sales or rental office shall have a minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet. (b) No portion of the use, excluding required screening and landscape buffers, shall be located within 50 feet of a 'R' district or structure containing a dwelling unit. (c) Outdoor display shall be designated on an approved site plan, and prohibited in any off-street parking or loading areas used to meet the minimum requirements of this chapter, fire lanes, travelways, sidewalks five feet or less in width, buffers, yards, and landscaped areas. The use of outdoor display ramps and stands is prohibited. (d) Outdoor display shall be limited to the vehicles or equipment sold on the property. No other outdoor display of any other goods or merchandise shall be permitted. (e) All accessory vehicle maintenance or service shall be conducted within a completely enclosed building. Outdoor storage, including temporary storage of vehicles on-site for maintenance, repair, or service, shall be permitted in accordance with the requirements of the zoning district.
