A conditional use shall ordinarily comply with the standards of the district concerned for uses permitted outright, except as specifically modified in granting the conditional permit or otherwise as follows.
(A) Setbacks. In any residential district, no yards provided shall be less than two-thirds the height of the principal structure. In other districts, yards may be increased over those required for uses permitted outright when necessary to meet the general objective conditional use control.
(B) Height exception. The height limitations of any district may be exceeded by a conditional use to a maximum permitted height of 60 feet; provided that, total floor area of the conditional use shall not exceed one and one-half times the area of the site; and, provided that, yards have a minimum width equal to at least two-thirds of the height of the principal structure.
(C) Limitations on access to lots and on openings to buildings. The Planning Commission may limit or prohibit vehicular access from a conditional use to residential streets not designated as arterial streets on an officially adopted street plan, and it may limit or prohibit openings insides of a building or structure permitted as a conditional use within 50 feet of a residential district if such openings will cause glare, excessive noise or other adverse effects on adjacent residential properties.
(D) Signs. Signs permitted within the district or one indirectly illuminated or non-illuminated sign on each side of a conditional use abutting a street shall be permitted, whichever is less restrictive. A sign shall not exceed 20 square feet in area, shall pertain to the conditional use and may be located in required yards.
(E) Automobile service stations. In addition to the other standards of this section, automobile service stations, when permitted as conditional uses, shall meet the following requirements.
(1) The minimum permitted lot size shall be 10,000 square feet.
(2) Sales of merchandise shall be confined to items used for the maintenance and servicing of passenger cars.
(3) No automobile repairs other than incidental minor repairs, battery and tire changing shall be allowed on the property.
(4) A sight-obscuring fence of not less than five feet, nor more than six feet, shall be provided between the station site and abutting residential property.
(F) Schools.
(1) Nursery schools shall provide and thereafter maintain outdoor play areas with a minimum area of 100 square feet per child of total capacity. A sight-obscuring fence at least four feet, but not more than six feet, in height shall be provided separating the play area from abutting lots.
(2) Elementary schools shall provide one acre of site area for each 90 pupils or one acre for each three classrooms, whichever is greater.
(3) Intermediate schools shall provide one acre of site area for each 75 pupils or one acre for each two and one-half classrooms, whichever is greater.
(G) Utility substation or pumping substation. The minimum lot size of the district in which a public utility facility is to be located may be waived only on finding that the waiver will not result in noise or other detrimental effect on adjacent property. No equipment storage shall be permitted on the site in a residential district or in a C-2 District. Such uses shall be fenced and provided with landscaping as found necessary.
(H) Dwellings. In no case shall the standards for a dwelling as a conditional use be less than the standards of an R-2 District.
