The height of accessory buildings shall not exceed 20 feet, unless otherwise specified in this Code.
(b) Waste Receptacles. All solid waste products resulting from any permitted principal, conditionally permitted or permitted accessory use shall either be disposed of, stored in buildings or in a completely enclosed container.

(c) Retail Establishments in Office Buildings. Retail establishments, such as a pharmacy or cafeteria, may be located in an office building in a C-6 Office or C-7 Office/Multi-Family District provided such accessory use complies with the following:
(1) The sum of the areas of such retail uses shall occupy no more than 25% of the first floor area of the office building.
(2) No display shall be in an exterior show window.
(3) No external sign indicating such use shall be permitted.
(4) No outdoor storage of goods or materials shall be permitted.
(d) Fences and Walls. Fences and walls may be erected in any commercial district provided they comply with the following:

However, when a fence or wall is proposed at a separate time from any other development for new construction, additions or site renovation, a fence or wall may be approved administratively by the Planning Director when the Planning Director determines that the proposal:
A. Complies with subsection 1. and 2. above;
B. Is consistent with any previously approved plan;
C. Is compatible with the current site development if there is no approved plan; and
D. Will have a minimum adverse impact to the surrounding areas. If, because of the nature of the proposed fence or wall, the Planning Director does not make such a determination, the request shall be referred to the Planning Commission and considered by the Commission according to the site plan procedures in Section 1137.03.
(e) Outdoor Storage. Outdoor storage permitted as a conditional use shall be in compliance with the regulations specified in Section 1163.04(cc).
