These regulations apply to all building permit applications for commercial and/or industrial development, redevelopment, and expansion of existing development within the incorporated limits of the city of Countryside. The regulations in this chapter shall overlay all other commercial and industrial zoning districts and other ordinance requirements regulating the development of land. In the case of conflicting requirements, the more restrictive requirements shall be applicable.
A. Exempt Property:
1. Residential: Single-family residential and multi-family residential developments are exempt from the requirements of this chapter, with the exception of subsection 10-15-3-5A of this chapter.
2. Parkway Landscaping: No exemption shall be granted for the provisions in subsection 10-15-3-5A of this chapter.
3. Visibility: If a development will not be visible from a public right of way, and is not adjacent to residential uses, the applicant may apply to the city for exemption from some or all requirements.
B. Auto Dealerships: Due to the unique nature and operation of auto dealerships and their significant presence in the city of Countryside, auto dealerships have been specifically addressed with regard to exemptions or special conditions as stated in this chapter. Special conditions or exemptions apply to the properties where the primary purpose is auto sales. Property that is primarily used for storage or maintenance of motor vehicles shall not benefit from special conditions or exemptions. (Ord. 06-12-0, 3-22-2006)
