The following rules apply to all development standards and uses listed below.
(A) Use separation. All measurements shall be made by drawing straight lines from the nearest point on the wall of a proposed or existing principal building or edge of a proposed use to the nearest point on the wall of the principal building from which the subject building is to be separated, unless otherwise specified.
(B) Residential density. Unless otherwise noted in this chapter, the maximum number of units allowed per acre for each housing type shall be the same as that permitted for the zoning district in which the use is located.
(C) Outdoor lighting. Outdoor lighting structures shall be located, angled, shielded or limited in intensity so as to cast no direct light upon adjacent property and to avoid the creation of a visual safety hazard to passing motorists. All new development and redevelopment located within the Accident Potential Zone that provide for outdoor lighting shall require the use of cutoff and semi-cutoff high sodium vapor lighting. Outdoor lighting shall comply with the standards delineated in Chapter 157.
(D) Noise levels. Unless otherwise specified herein, noncompliance with the noise level limits established by the UDO shall mean exceeding the specified noise limit for five or more of any 25 consecutive readings taken at ten-second intervals when measured at any point beyond the property line of the property from which the noise originates. As a continuing condition of approval, all uses shall comply with the requirements delineated in Chapter 93 of the city code of ordinances. If any requirement in the UDO exceeds those of the city code, the more restrictive standard shall apply.
(E) Landscaping and buffering. Unless a more stringent requirement is specifically specified elsewhere in this chapter, the minimum screening, buffering and landscaping standards contained in Chapter 157 are applicable to all uses.
(F) Parking and signage. Unless a more stringent or alternative requirement is specifically specified elsewhere in this chapter, the minimum parking and signage standards delineated in Chapter 157 shall apply.
(G) Recreation and open space.
(1) The minimum amount of private recreation space and useable public common open space that shall be reserved for passive and/or active open space purposes and the required plantings and other requirements in those areas shall be in accordance with the standards and requirements of Chapter 157.
(2) Unless otherwise specified herein, all recreation and common areas shall be dedicated to and maintained by homeowners’ associations, meeting the requirements of Chapter 158.
