11-2-7: NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL NODES:
   A.   All proposed neighborhood nodes as identified on the Future Land Use of the currently adopted Comprehensive Plan shall require a conditional use permit.
   B.   Conditions of approval must ensure that the commercial use abutting the existing residential use mitigates the more intense use and must include the following design standards:
      1.   If the building does not abut the sidewalk, there must be a walkway between the sidewalk and the primary entrance.
      2.   Surface parking should be located to the rear or to the side of the principal building. All parking areas within the NCN shall conform to the parking requirements and design standards detailed in chapter 4 of this title.
      3.   Trash areas must be completely enclosed by a six foot tall site obscuring fence or landscaping. Dumpsters must have rubber lids.
      4.   Buildings must be designed with a residential character, including elements such as pitched roofs, lap siding, and wide window trim.
      5.   Lighting greater than one foot-candle is prohibited. All lighting fixtures shall be a “cutoff” design to prevent spillover and must meet the residential lighting standards in Hayden City Code 11-4-5.
      6.   Wall mounted signs are preferred, but monument signs no higher than six feet are allowed. Roof mounted signs and pole signs are not permitted. All signage must meet Hayden City Code 11-5.
      7.   Exterior signs shall not be internally lighted, but may be indirectly lighted; however, internal signage may be of neon signage meeting Hayden City Code requirements for Commercial signage.
      Additional conditions may be applied to meet the standards of approval and the vision as defined in the comprehensive plan. (Ord. 619, 4-13-2021)
