The following additional development standards shall apply to all developments and redevelopments within the NC zone:
   A.   Buffer Standards For Development Abutting A Residential Property:
      1.   The minimum setback for a primary structure is twenty feet (20') from any abutting residential property line.
      2.   Building height shall not exceed the design envelope created by starting at a point eight feet (8') above the ground at the residential property line and then sloping along a plane at a forty five degree (45°) angle toward the center of the lot.
      3.   A perimeter wall as per subsection H of this section is required.
      4.   For developments in the NC zone a landscaped buffer shall be provided as required by chapter 13.77 of this title.
      5.   A primary or accessory structure with an elevation facing a residential property shall not have a single, unbroken facade longer than fifty feet (50').
      6.   No trash receptacle or storage area shall be located closer than fifty feet (50') from a residential dwelling unless located within a fully enclosed building. (Ord. 2013-22, 9-5-2013)
      7.   An outdoor dining facility shall be constructed in a manner which visually obscures the facility from abutting residential property and which protects the property from noise and light emanating from the facility. (Ord. 2015-02, 2-5-2015)
   B.   Parking And Access Requirements: Parking in the commercial zones shall be governed by the provisions of chapter 13.80 of this title except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
      1.   The number of access points along public rights of way may be minimized by sharing and linking parking areas with abutting properties. Reciprocal ingress and egress, circulation and parking agreements may facilitate the ease of vehicular movement between adjoining properties. On corner sites, access points shall be located as far from the corner as reasonably possible and in no case less than sixty feet (60') from the corner. Vehicular circulation shall be designed to preclude the intrusion of traffic directly into residential areas.
      2.   Secure facilities for parking bicycles shall be provided in a location near building entrances.
      3.   Parking shall not be located in the front yard setback or the side yard setback which faces on a street except as approved by the planning commission at site plan review.
   C.   Pedestrian Walkways: Pedestrian walkways, which comply with ADA standards, should be provided. Public easements for walkways, jogging paths and similar uses may be required.
   D.   Storage And Display Areas:
      1.   Storage areas including, but not limited to, areas containing vehicle storage, merchandise, or equipment, etc., shall be paved with hard surface paving (unless otherwise approved by the community development director) and screened with opaque fencing and landscaping. Each wall or fence shall be at least six feet (6') in and no more than eight feet (8') in vertical height.
      2.   No outside displays (either permanent or temporary) shall be permitted upon any landscaped area.
   E.   Screening:
      1.   Trash Enclosures:
         a.   Solid enclosures equal in vertical height to the trash dumpster to be screened shall be provided for all garbage and/or recycling containers (dumpsters), and design of said enclosure shall be consistent with the architectural design of the main structures.
         b.   Enclosure gates shall be opaque, constructed of solid materials designed for durability, and closed when not in use.
         c.   No dumpster shall be permitted in the front yard of a building nor shall it block required driveways, traffic and parking aisles, parking spaces, or sidewalks.
         d.   Public rights of way shall not be used directly for refuse collection.
         e.   Commercial garbage and rubbish collection shall only occur between eight o'clock (8:00) A.M. and six o'clock (6:00) P.M.
      2.   Mechanical Equipment:
         a.   All roof mounted mechanical equipment and vents (including swamp coolers) shall be screened so as to minimize visual impacts. This may be accomplished using one or more of the following alternatives:
            (1)   A separate continuous screening system,
            (2)   Groupings of pieces of mechanical equipment with an architecturally designed screening system that blends with the architectural design and materials of the proposed building, or
            (3)   Extension of the building's parapet walls to screen the equipment from public view.
         b.   All noise emitting equipment shall be placed so as to minimize noise impact on nearby properties.
         c.   All roof mounted mechanical equipment (including its height above the roof) and the proposed screening system shall be shown to scale on the building's structural plans and approved by the community development director prior to issuance of a building permit.
         d.   All ground mounted mechanical equipment such as heating and air conditioning units shall be completely screened from surrounding properties by a masonry wall or shall be enclosed within a building.
      3.   Utility Lines: All new utility lines such as electric, telephone, CATV, or other similar lines serving individual sites shall be placed underground. Utility lines necessary within the property shall be placed underground. All utility lines shall be placed underground in new construction projects that require building permits and site redesign. All junction and access boxes shall be located to the side or the rear of the building unless public safety concerns dictate otherwise. All utility pads shall be shown on the project plan. Any utility connections, meter boxes, etc., shall be integrated with the architectural elements of the project plan.
      4.   Loading Areas: Loading areas and docks shall be screened by landscaping and/or visual barrier from abutting properties and public rights of way.
   F.   Lighting: It is the intent of this subsection to encourage lighting practices and systems that minimize light pollution, glare and light trespass, conserve energy and resources, and maintain nighttime safety and utility while ensuring the enjoyment of a starry night for all members of the community. The standards in this subsection require the proposed lighting systems to be of the absolute minimum needed for safety and utility of the site, per Illumination Engineering Society standards of North America.
In addition to the general provisions of this subsection, all site lighting shall be shielded and/or directed in such a manner that it illuminates only the user's premises and does not spill over into neighboring residential areas so as to interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of residential or public properties. Foot-candles at the property line shall not exceed 0.1. Foot-candles shall not exceed 0.01 at ten feet (10') from the commercial property line as measured on the residential side. Except as provided herein, or unless otherwise explicitly approved by the planning commission, the light source shall be a full cutoff fixture, completely concealed within an opaque housing. All exterior lighting fixtures designed or placed so as to illuminate any portion of a site shall meet the following requirements:
TABLE 13.55.081
 
Standard
NC
Maximum lumens per fixture
12,500
