The following standards are intended to ensure the compatibility of uses in a mixed-use project.
.010 Security. Residential units shall be designed to ensure the security of residents, through the provision of secured entrances and exits that are separate from the non-residential uses, and are directly accessible to parking areas. Non-residential and residential uses shall not have common entrance hallways or common balconies. These separations shall be shown on the development plan, and the separations shall be permanently maintained.
.020 Restriction on Activities. Commercial uses shall be designed and operated, and hours of operation limited, so that neighboring residents are not exposed to offensive noise, especially from traffic, trash collection, routine deliveries or late night activity. No use shall produce continual loading or unloading of heavy trucks at the site between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
.030 Vibrations and Odors. No use, activity or process shall produce continual vibrations or noxious odors that are perceptible without instruments by the average person at the property lines of the site or within the interior of residential units on the site.
.040 Lighting. Outdoor lighting associated with commercial uses shall not adversely impact surrounding residential uses, but shall provide sufficient illumination for access and security purposes. Such lighting shall not blink, flash or oscillate.
.050 Windows. Residential windows shall not directly face loading areas and docks. To the extent windows of residential units face each other, the windows shall be offset to maximize privacy.
