(A) In general. If a proposed subdivision includes land that is zoned for commercial or industrial purposes, the layout of the subdivision with respect to such land shall make such provision as the Planning Commission may require. A non-residential subdivision may also be subject to the requirements for site plan approval set forth in the Zoning Code. Site plan approval and non-residential subdivision plat approval may proceed simultaneously at the discretion of the Planning Commission. A non-residential subdivision shall be subject to all the requirements of these regulations, as well as additional standards required by the Planning Commission, and shall conform to the proposed land use and standards established in the master plan, the official map, and the Zoning Code.
(B) Standards. In addition to the principles and standards set forth in these regulations, which are appropriate to the planning of all subdivisions, the applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission that the street, parcel, and block pattern proposed is specifically adapted to the uses anticipated and takes into account other uses in the vicinity. The following principles and standards shall be observed.
(1) Proposed industrial parcels shall be suitable in area and dimensions to the types of industrial development anticipated.
(2) Street rights-of-way and pavement shall be adequate to accommodate the type and volume of traffic anticipated to be generated thereupon.
(3) Special requirements may be imposed by the city with respect to street, curb, gutter, and sidewalk design and construction.
(4) Special requirements may be imposed by the city with respect to the installation of public utilities, including water, sewer, and storm water drainage.
(5) Every effort shall be made to protect adjacent residential areas from potential nuisance from a proposed commercial or industrial subdivision, including the provision of extra depth in parcels backing up on existing or potential residential development and provisions for a permanently landscaped buffer strip when necessary.
(6) Streets carrying non-residential traffic, especially truck traffic, shall not normally be extended to the boundaries of adjacent existing or potential residential areas.
