(A) Except as modified below, all development shall comply with chapter 8, "General Development Standards", of this title.
(B) The intent of this section is to:
1. Allow adequate space for vehicle and pedestrian circulation.
2. Allow compact development and efficient use of site.
3. Protect solar access to adjacent properties.
4. Orient buildings and pedestrian entrances to the street.
5. Provide a transitional buffer from adjacent residential zones.
6. Provide flexibility to allow for innovative and creative design solutions.
7. Assure that proposed developments are in scale with the area.
Dimensional Standards | Size |
Dimensional Standards | Size |
Minimum property size | 4,000 square feet |
Maximum structure height | 35 feet, or 50 feet in BP-interior1 |
Maximum building footprint, per building | 25,000 square feet, or 40,000 square feet in BP-interior1,2 |
Maximum lot coverage | 80 percent (see section 3.3.06 of this title) |
Minimum street frontage | 40 feet |
Minimum setback from: | |
Street, frontage | 10 feet, 0 feet with CUP3 |
Abutting other zones | 25 feet |
Property line not fronting a roadway | 10 feet (0 feet for attached structures) |
Minimum distance between buildings | 15 feet (0 feet for attached structures) |
Maximum setback (build-to line) | 15 feet in BP-interior, none in BP-exterior4 |
Notes:
1. Building height and footprint allowances in the BP-interior subzone may be increased to the maximum indicated with the issuance of a conditional use permit. Approval of the CUP will be considered if the proposed development provides significant, attractive and functional civic space for public use and/or provides superior architectural design elements such as those recommended by leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) or another design standard. Buildings greater than 35 feet are subject to the step back standards of section 3.8.14 of this title.
2. Individual lots may have multiple buildings in a "campus" configuration.
3. With a CUP the minimum front setback may be reduced to 0 feet to accommodate pedestrian oriented architectural features such as a storefront, vestibule, open air lobby, etc.
4. At least 1 primary building entrance or other pedestrian building element shall be built within 15 feet of the front property line in the BP-interior subzone. An exception to this build-to line may be granted through design review when the project contains pedestrian amenities between the primary building entrance and the front property line. Pedestrian amenities including parks and plazas are allowed and encouraged.
(C) Design review is required for all developments within the business park zone as provided for in chapter 16 of this title. (Ord. 885, 3-24-2011)
