1. Permitted height and uses:
a. Building height shall be measured as the vertical distance from the highest finished grade relative to the street frontage, up to the eaves or the highest level of a flat roof, and shall be no greater than fifty (50) feet.
b. The height of parapet walls may vary depending upon the need to screen mechanical equipment.
c. Building height to the ridge may vary depending on the roof pitch.
d. Permitted uses include all uses listed in the M-1 District.
2. Architectural standards:
a. Principles:
(1) Building elevations fronting or visible from public streets shall be clad with masonry, wood, vinyl siding, stucco, or similar material. Metal paneling may not comprise a street fronting building face. Deviations from these standards require a special use permit.
(2) All walls not visible from a public right-of-way may be constructed of split face block, bricks, wood or vinyl siding, or metal paneling but shall be painted to match the overall scheme of the rest of the building.
(3) Mobile units may not be used as permanent workplace buildings.
(4) At a minimum, the Americans with Disabilities Act standards for accessibility shall be met.
b. Configurations:
(1) Two (2) wall materials may be combined horizontally on one (1) facade. The “heavier” material should be below and can cover the first floor only (i.e. brick below wood siding).
c. Techniques:
(1) All rooftop equipment shall be enclosed in a building material that matches the structure or is visually compatible with the structure. (Ord. of 12/7/04, No. 37-02; Ord. of 3/18/10, No. 07-10; Ord. of 6-21-21, No. 41-21)
