21-2-5.5: INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDELINES:

The industrial design requirements and guidelines contained in this section have been established to: recognize the unique needs and characteristics of development in business and industrial use settings; protect and promote long-term economic vitality through the promotion of high quality development; and minimize adverse impacts to existing neighborhoods and anticipated residential growth areas.

   A.   Applicability: These requirements and guidelines shall apply to development of new buildings or renovation of existing buildings within any Business and Industrial Zoning District, unless otherwise specified within this section.

   These requirements and guidelines will be used by City staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission as a framework for evaluating development proposals and for commenting on the design aspects of those proposed projects. The Eloy subdivision regulations should also be referenced for additional site design standards specifically applicable to commercial subdivision developments.

   B.   Architectural Guidelines:

      1.   Natural materials and deep earth tone colors are preferred, and design elements should not primarily consist of metal, glass, plastic, highly reflective materials and bright colors. Such materials may have limited application in trim or accent areas, but should not be predominant visual elements of the building(s) or site improvements.

      2.   Large, bland monolithic facades or rooflines and repetition of very simple details foster a monotonous character, which should be avoided. Building elevations should create a unique character which is emphasized through interesting architectural details or relief in each component. For example, windows may be arched or rectangular, bayed out or be recessed, have raised borders, awnings, planter boxes or shutters.

      3.   All building facades should be designed with architecturally finished materials, with primary building materials limited to the following:

         a.   Modular masonry materials such as brick, block, and stone.

         b.   Precast concrete or aggregate panels with a decorative finish.

         c.   Stucco or stucco-like materials.

         d.   Wood, provided the surfaces are finished for exterior use and wood of proven exterior durability.

         e.   Other materials as determined by the Zoning Administrator.

      4.   The following building types and materials are discouraged:

         a.   Galvanized or unfinished steel, galvalume or unfinished aluminum buildings (walls or roofs), unless the roadway facing the facade of the building is specifically intended to have a corrosive designed finish such as Cor-Ten steel or is finished with a material that is compliant with subsection B3 of this section.

         b.   Exposed, untextured, uncolored, unaugmented concrete.

   C.   Site Design/Orientation Requirements:

      1.   Buildings, structures, open space areas and other features shall be oriented to protect and/or enhance major vistas and panoramas that accentuate mountain vistas, and/or special man-made or natural landmarks.

      2.   On-site pedestrian walks shall be provided to connect street sidewalks to primary commercial and mixed-use building entries by the most direct route practicable. Multi-building developments shall minimize auto/pedestrian conflicts and maximize convenient pedestrian access between buildings.

      3.   Openings for vehicular uses, such as garage door bays used to access vehicles into and out of a building for repair or storage, must be located on facades that do not face the primary street.

   D.   Circulation Requirements:

      1.   Developments along ADOT controlled roadways shall complete a traffic study analysis, including access needs, traffic control needs, highway expansion needs, drainage management plan, and/or a cost sharing plan. ADOT approval will be required as part of the development plan approval process.

      2.   Access points along primary gateway roadways shall be placed and designed in accordance with ADOT and/or City requirements.

   E.   Properties With Frontage Along Primary Gateway Roadway Corridors: Development of new buildings or renovation of existing buildings within any Industrial Zoning District that is adjacent to Interstate 10, Frontier Street, State Route 87, Sunland Gin Road, Toltec Road and Sunshine Boulevard, and Battaglia Road, in the City of Eloy shall adhere to the following requirements:

      1.   Prohibited Uses: The following uses are prohibited within any Business Park (BP), Light Industrial (I-1) or Heavy Industrial (I-2) Zoning District that is located adjacent to the right-of-way of Interstate 10, Frontier Street, State Route 87, Sunland Gin Road, Toltec Road, and Sunshine Boulevard, and Battaglia Road:

         a.   Adult oriented businesses;

         b.   Auto wrecking and salvage yard;

         c.   Heavy rental, outdoor;

21-2-6: OPEN SPACE DISTRICTS:

21-2-6.1: GENERAL PURPOSE:

The purpose of the Open Space Zoning Districts is to identify lands that are to remain in their natural state, under agricultural production or developed to emulate a natural or designed state for passive and active recreational pursuits. The primary purpose of designating these areas is to raise the degree of assurance that designated open space for conservation and recreational areas will remain open in perpetuity, as well as to achieve the open space related goals and objectives of the Eloy General Plan. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)

21-2-6.2: OPEN SPACE DISTRICTS ENUMERATED:

   A.   Open Space Conservation District (OSC): The purpose of this Open Space Zoning District is to protect and conserve natural area and agricultural/farm/ranch lands in perpetuity. Such natural areas may include desert washes, hillsides, floodplains, wildlife habitat, and lands identified to be retained in their undeveloped state or designed open space state. Areas to be retained in their agricultural state contain high value farmland that the property owner agrees to maintain in perpetuity.

   B.   Open Space Recreation District (OSR): The purpose of this Open Space Zoning District is to provide for active and passive recreation uses that are to be integrated within the existing and future developed area of the City. Such active and passive recreation uses include, but not limited to, public and private parks, trail corridors, regraded and revegetated passive areas, joint use recreation-detention/retention drainage facilities, etc., as designated on a site plan, final plat or planned area development that will not contain any non-recreational structural improvements in perpetuity.
