A. Any newly constructed, or remodeled, facility in a residential zone or immediately abutting a residential zone shall comply with the following design standards:
1. All setbacks shall be according to the requirements of the residential zone in which the facility sits, or if the facility is in a Commercial Zone abutting a residential zone the setbacks shall be those of the abutting residential zone;
2. All required or accessory parking areas shall be located either in the rear yard area of the lot, or behind the main building or garage;
3. Notwithstanding the maximum height restrictions of the individual residential zone, new building or additional buildings shall not exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the average height of the closest dwellings on both sides of the proposed structure.
4. In order for new construction to reflect the design and character of the existing neighborhood the following standards shall be met:
a. The roof design of the proposed structure or remodel roof shall be a pitched roof of the same slope as the most common roof slope of the homes on the side of the block which the building is proposed on; and
b. The type of exterior materials shall be of traditional home finished materials of brick, siding, or stucco. The use of these materials shall be applied in such a manner as to blend in with the neighborhood where the building is located and not draw undue attention to the building because of the materials, their color and combination being uncharacteristic of the other buildings in the neighborhood.
5. No facility shall be made available to an individual who has demonstrated, by prior behavior, actions and/or criminal convictions, or as a resident, that he or she:
a. May be determined to be or does constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals; or
b. Has or may engage in conduct resulting in substantial physical damage to the property of others.
6. To the extent similar requirements to any contained in this section are contained in the specific zone in which any facility referred to herein may be located, the more restrictive provisions shall apply, and the requirements stated herein shall be considered to be in addition to presently existing zoning regulations.
