B. Screening of Outdoor Storage in Commercial, Office, and Mixed-Use Zoning Districts. Outdoor storage (including all dumpsters, commercial items, commercial construction, or industrial-related materials and equipment within commercial zoning districts) shall be fenced or screened from view. Such screening shall utilize enclosures including, but not limited to, fences, walls, landscaping, or earthen berms, so that no outdoor storage is visible from any public rights-of-way, parks, public trails, and adjacent properties. Screening shall be visually compatible with the primary buildings and landscape on the property.
C. Fencing for Company Vehicles in Industrial Zoning Districts. In industrial zoning districts, company vehicles of less than one (1) ton do not require screening and may be parked behind the required landscape area with or without security fencing. Company vehicles exceeding one (1) ton that are permitted on the public highways and used in the daily operation of the company may be parked within the buildable portion of the lot without screen fencing. All company vehicles that exceed one (1) ton and are not permitted on the public highways shall be fenced or screened from view in a manner that is attractive and complementary to the structure it serves and architecturally compatible with other on-site development.
D. Fencing and Walls for Agricultural Land Uses. All fences or walls which enclose livestock shall be constructed of an adequate height and shall be designed so as to control and contain such livestock at all times.
E. Fencing and Walls for Pools, Spas, and Similar Features. Swimming pools, spas, and other similar water features shall be enclosed in compliance with city-adopted Building Code requirements.
F. Fences, Walls and Screening between Different Land Uses. Commercial and industrial uses shall be screened from adjacent residential zoning districts by plant materials and a solid, decorative masonry wall with a minimum height of six (6) feet to screen the commercial use, as approved by the approving authority. Openings or pedestrian connections may be required at the discretion of the approving authority. A landscaping strip with a minimum width of five (5) feet shall be installed adjacent to a screening wall on the commercial or industrial side.
G. Screening of Commercial Loading Docks and Refuse Areas. Loading docks and refuse storage areas shall be screened from public view, adjoining public streets and rights-of-way, and residentially zoned areas. The method of screening shall be architecturally compatible with other on-site development in terms of colors and materials. Exceptions may be permitted through the administrative design review process for sites with unique characteristics (e.g., shallow lot depth, adjacency to single-family residential).
H. Temporary Fences. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to prohibit the erection of a temporary fence around construction projects in compliance with the Building Code and other applicable requirements of the City Municipal Code. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
