General provisions
67 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.
Where a nonresidential use abuts a residential district or residential use, a buffer yard of at least 25 feet in width shall be provided along the common property line.
Where a wall or fence is specified, such structure shall be at least six feet in height and shall be so constructed as to provide a permanent, year-round visual barrier from surrounding properties.
When the buffer or screen includes the use of berms or mounds, these elements shall have a minimum height of three feet, a maximum side slope ratio of three horizontal feet to one vertical foot, and a level crown with a minimum width of three feet for maintenance and planting purposes.
A landscape plan is required for any construction plan or plan of development... All existing viable mature trees (eight inches or greater diameter at breast height (DBH)) and specimen trees (24 inches or greater DBH) shall be preserved within the required landscape area. ... The required landscape area shall be fully protected by a substantial, temporary fence or barrier with a minimum height of 40 inches.
Street trees shall be provided along all public and private streets, at a rate of at least one tree per 40 linear feet of street frontage.
All existing viable mature trees (eight inches or greater diameter at breast height (DBH)) and specimen trees (24 inches or greater DBH) shall be preserved within the required landscape area.
A landscape area of at least 10 feet in width shall be provided along all public street rights-of-way and thoroughfares, except where driveways, utilities, and other necessary breaks occur.
A landscape area adjoining all side property lines shall be provided which is at least 15 feet in width. Along the side property lines, such landscape area may be reduced to a minimum of ten feet in width or five percent of the average lot depth, whichever is greater, on lots with less than 10,000 square feet which were recorded or legally in existence prior to March 27, 1989. A landscape area adjoining all rear property lines shall be provided which is at least 15 feet in width.
A landscape area of at least 10 feet in width shall be provided along the perimeter of all sites, except where driveways, utilities, and other necessary breaks occur.
A landscape area adjoining all side property lines shall be provided which is at least 15 feet in width. ... A landscape area adjoining all rear property lines shall be provided which is at least 15 feet in width.
Parking areas containing ten or more spaces shall have a total landscape area within the parking lot that meets the minimum standards specified in the following chart... The required trees shall be spaced no more than 75 feet apart throughout the parking lot.
At least one tree shall be provided for every ten parking spaces, distributed throughout the parking area.
The required trees shall be spaced no more than 75 feet apart throughout the parking lot.
Landscaped screening areas shall be left in their undisturbed natural state and supplemented where necessary... to provide an effective visual screen at least six feet in height.
Surface parking lots shall be located to the side or rear of buildings or in the interior of development sites surrounded by proposed buildings.
The following signs shall be permitted in all residential districts, subject to the regulations and restrictions set forth herein:
Certain signs permitted generally; certain signs prohibited; illumination; signs identifying nonconforming uses; nonconforming signs.
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this chapter shall be construed to be minimum requirements... the most restrictive, or that which imposes the higher standard, shall govern.
A PCTF shall be permitted for a maximum of 90 days in any 365-day period... The maximum height of the PCTF shall be 120 feet.
All towers shall be set back from any off-site existing residential structure by no less than 200 feet. ... No fence shall exceed six feet in height and it shall contain no barb wire or similar barrier.
