A mixed use planned development in the Mixed Use Overlay District approved as a conditional use shall comply with the following development standards:
(a) Minimum Building Setbacks from Project Boundaries and Streets. All buildings and structures shall maintain the following minimum setbacks.
(1) When the wall of a building abuts an existing or proposed public right-of- way, the minimum setback for such wall shall be either fifty feet from the right-of-way line or the minimum building setback distance as shown on the Zoning Map, whichever is greater.
(2) When the wall of a building abuts any Mixed Use Overlay District project boundary line, the minimum setback for such wall shall be calculated in accordance with the existing setback standards found in Chapter 1164 of this Planning and Zoning Code.
(3) When the wall of a building abuts a private street or driveway, the minimum setback for such wall other than a front wall shall be twenty feet from the edge of the pavement. The setback for a front wall of a building that abuts a private street or driveway shall be twenty-five feet.
(b) Minimum Separation Between Buildings. In order to ensure reasonable privacy and separation of buildings, individual buildings located within the Mixed Use Overlay District shall be separated by the minimum distances specified below:
(1) Single-Family Detached Dwellings. All single-family detached dwelling units shall have a side yard separated from each dwelling unit by a minimum of twenty feet, except that when two walls facing each other both contain windows of living areas, or adjacent patios or decks, the minimum separation shall be forty feet.
(2) Single-Family Detached Dwellings adjacent to other uses. The minimum separation between single-family detached dwelling units shall be:
A. Forty feet from attached single family dwellings; and
B. Sixty feet from all other buildings.
(3) All attached single-family dwellings, and nonresidential buildings. Between two building walls facing each other, the distance between two such walls shall be as determined by the yard formula in Section 1164.09 (b) of this Planning and Zoning Code. The maximum separation required shall not exceed sixty-feet when neither of the two walls contains windows, and 100 feet when one or both walls contains windows.
(c) Building Height. The maximum height of any residential building shall be thirty- five feet, and the maximum height of any commercial, retail or office building shall be forty-five feet, unless the Planning Commission specifically authorizes a greater height.
(d) Parking and Roadway Setbacks. Off-street parking areas and roadways must be screened according to Section 1172.02(g) and shall comply with the following setback requirements:
(1) All off-street parking areas shall be set back from an existing or proposed public right-of-way a distance of not less than forty feet.
(2) All off-street parking areas and roadways shall be set back from all other boundaries of the Mixed Use Overlay District not less than twenty feet.
(3) No off-street parking areas or roadways shall be permitted in the natural area corridor.
(e) Exterior Lighting. All exterior lighting in a Mixed Use Overlay District Development must comply with the following lighting requirements:
(1) All residential and nonresidential development within a Mixed Use Overlay District shall submit for approval a proposed detailed exterior lighting plan that sets forth any exterior lighting for traffic circulation areas, utility areas, open space, recreational areas and within private spaces in the interior of the development. The exterior lighting plan must provide for the functional security needs of the proposed land uses without adversely affecting adjacent properties of the community.
(2) Exterior lighting shall be installed only in accordance with an approved plan and shall be designed in such a manner so as to avoid lighting nuisances.
(3) With the exception of lighting for public streets, all other exterior lighting used to illuminate buildings, parking lots, walkways, or the landscape, shall be evaluated during the site plan review process. The “Area/Activity For Exterior Lighting” chart on the following page gives the lighting criteria to be met for outdoor facilities used at night.
(4) The amount of nuisance glare (light trespass) projected onto a residential use from another property shall not exceed 0.1 vertical footcandle at the property line.
(5) All exterior lighting, including public street lighting as applicable, shall meet the following standards:
A. No flickering or flashing lights shall be permitted, except for temporary holiday decorations.
B. Background spaces like parking lots shall be illuminated as unobtrusively as possible to meet the functional needs of safe circulation and protection of people and property. Foreground spaces, such as building entrances and outside eating areas, shall utilize local lighting that defines the space without glare.
C. The style of light standards and fixtures shall be consistent with the style and character of architecture proposed on the site.
D. All outdoor light not necessary for security purposes shall be either reduced, activated by motion sensors devices, or turned off during non-operating hours.
E. Light fixtures used to illuminate flags, statues, or any other objects mounted on a pole, pedestal or platform shall use a narrow cone beam or light that will not extend beyond the illuminated object.
F. For upward-directed architectural, landscape and decorative lighting, direct light emissions shall not be visible above the building line roof.
G. Light fixtures shall be mounted on concrete or painted metal poles no higher than 20 feet.
(f) Ownership. Any ownership arrangement, including fee simple lots, condominiums, and zero lot line parcels, is permitted in a residential development proposed as part of the Mixed Use Overlay District, provided the arrangement of the dwelling units shall comply with the spacing requirements of this section. Within any such sublot, the applicant shall depict the maximum parameters, or building envelope, which indicates where the buildings shall be located, and shall demonstrate that such building locations will be in compliance with the spacing requirements of this section. Alternatively, if such building locations are not depicted on any such sublots, the Planning Commission may establish on the development plan the appropriate front, side, and rear yard dimensions for each sublot.
(g) Additional Standards. Additional development requirements, whether standards or criteria, formulated to achieve the objectives for the Mixed Use Overlay District may be established during the Planning Commission's review of the development plan. Any such development requirements adopted with such plan shall become binding land use requirements for the proposed development.
