These criteria serve the public interest by requiring that the design of developments in the North Shore Development are compatible with the natural, rural environment and characteristics of their setting and with the image of the area which the city seeks to promote; helping to reduce the potential for land use conflicts by encouraging the protection of privacy and scenic views; and protecting the integrity of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.
(A) Clustering of homes is encouraged to allow for reduced infrastructure costs for roads, driveways and water and sanitary sewer systems when compared with conventional design, and promote the visual integrity of development as viewed from within the development.
(B) Development in the North Shore Development Planned District shall be integrated in a manner that is consistent with the city’s General Plan and the General Development Plan for the North Shore Development. Integration shall be accomplished through, among other things, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, visual, open space and other linkages and design techniques. A piecemeal approach to planning and development, where individual development parcels are designed and constructed without adequate integration opportunities with surrounding areas, will not be permitted.
(C) Outbuildings, barns and associated corrals intended for the keeping and use of horses shall be located in the rear yard not closer than 60 feet from the rear plane of the house.
