(A) Purpose. Supplementary district regulations are intended to govern miscellaneous issues related to uses or conditions that occur in more than one zoning district.
(B) Visibility at intersections. On a corner lot in any district, for a distance of 30 feet back from the property line along each street, nothing may be erected, placed, planted or allowed to grow in a manner that would impede the visibility of vehicles entering the intersection.
(above diagram should indicate 30' each direction)
(C) Fences, walls and hedges. Unless other provisions of this chapter specify otherwise, fences, walls and hedges are permitted in any required yard, provided that no fence, wall or hedge in or along the edge of a front yard shall be no more than six feet in height, subject, however to the restrictions of division (B) above.
(D) Structures to have legal and physical access. Every principal building erected or placed on a lot shall have legal and physical access to a public street, other than an alley, or an approved private street, and all structures shall be so located on lots as to provide required off-street parking and safe and convenient access for emergency vehicles.
(E) Exceptions to height regulations. The height limitations contained in the district regulations do not apply to spires, belfries, cupolas, antennas, water tanks, ventilators, chimneys or other appurtenances not intended for human occupancy and usually required to be placed above the roof level.
(F) Number of principal structures on lot. In any district, more than one structure housing a permitted or conditional principal use may be erected on a single lot, provided that minimum yard areas and other requirements of this chapter are met for each structure as though it were located on an individual lot.
(G) Parking or storage of certain vehicles. No more than one automotive vehicle without current license plates may be parked or stored on any residentially zoned property, except those in completely enclosed buildings.
(H) Fire hazards.
(1) Any activity involving the use or storage of flammable or explosive materials must be entirely enclosed with protective fencing at least six feet in height and be protected by adequate fire-fighting and fire prevention equipment and by normal safety devices. The activities must be set back not less than 100 feet from all lot lines. Such activities will be subject to the fire safety standards prescribed by the City Fire Marshal or other appropriate authority.
(2) Provided that, this section shall not prohibit the storage of flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, paints, paint solvents and similar substances commonly stored for household use. Such substances shall be stored in approved safety containers and handled in accordance with the Life Safety Code and Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code of the National Fire Protection Association. No storage of flammable liquids or gases shall be permitted in any location where such storage would jeopardize egress from a structure or the spread of fire or explosion to an adjoining structure.
(3) Further provided that, any activity involving the transfer of liquefied petroleum gas (propane gas) from one container to another shall be subject to the fire safety standards and regulations prescribed by the State Fire Marshal, or other appropriate authority. Any person, business or other entity which intends to transfer liquefied petroleum gas (propane gas) from one container to another shall obtain inspection and approval of the State Fire Marshal before commencing such activities.
(I) Livestock. Livestock, as defined in § 153.07, shall not be maintained in any district within the corporate boundaries of the municipality.
(J) Bars, taverns, lounges, night clubs. No building, structure or premises shall be used as a bar, tavern, lounge, night club or any commercial establishment that serves alcoholic beverages within 600 feet, and on the same street, of any building used exclusively as a school, church, synagogue or other place of worship. The distance shall be measured in a straight line from the center of the nearest entrance of the place of worship or school to the nearest entrance of the proposed establishment. This distance restriction does not apply to establishments where sale of table wine and beer is solely in the original package for off-premises consumption.
