A non-residential subdivision shall be subject to all of the requirements of this chapter and amendments hereto, as well as such additional standards required by the Commission, and shall conform to the proposed land uses and standards established in Chapter 153. The applicant shall demonstrate that the proposed street-block-lot-parcel pattern of the non-residential subdivision is specifically adapted to its anticipated uses, and also takes into account other uses in the vicinity. The following principles and standards shall be observed:
(A) Parcel identification. Each non-residential area or parcel shall be shown and marked on the plat as to its intended purpose. Proposals for incremental lot-by-lot subdivision shall also be noted.
(B) Lot area and dimensions. Proposed parcels shall be suitable in area and dimensions to the types of development anticipated.
(C) Street rights-of-way and pavement. Street rights-of-way and pavement construction shall be adequate to accommodate the type and volume of anticipated traffic.
(D) Non-residential subdivisions adjacent to residential development. The Commission may impose special requirements in order to protect adjacent residential areas from any potential nuisance caused by a non-residential subdivision, including the provision extra depth on parcels backing onto existing or potential residential areas, and for permanent landscape buffers when necessary.
(E) Streets and truck routes. Streets carrying non-residential traffic shall not normally be extended to the boundaries of adjacent existing or potential residential areas. Truck routes shall be established as necessary to prevent truck traffic from encroaching into adjacent residential areas.
