(G) Supplemental regulations. The purpose of this section is to provide visual buffers and reduce the negative effects associated with accessory functions of business establishments, which may be detrimental to other property values in the immediate area. Accessory functions can include, but not be limited to, outside storage, outside repairs and outside displays of merchandise. Proper screening of refuse containers and outside storage areas can reduce the unsightliness associated with these areas. Also, visual screening between commercial and residential districts helps ease the transition from one district to the next. Overall, these regulations are intended to make commercial properties more aesthetically pleasing to all adjacent properties and the motoring public.
(1) Repairs indoors. All repair and maintenance services shall be conducted completely within enclosed structures.
(2) Outside storage. Outside storage areas may be open to the sky, but shall be enclosed by a wall or solid fence at least eight feet high.
(3) Outside display of merchandise. Merchandise displayed outside of any structure within any business district, whether placed on the ground, on a platform or on or in a vehicle, shall be displayed no less that 30 feet from the front property line. Exceptions:
(a) Automobile, truck, motorcycle, RV and boat dealerships;
(b) Merchandise displayed between gasoline dispenser pumps at auto service stations;
(c) Lumber yards; and
(d) Rental equipment
(4) Refuse containers. All refuse generated by facilities located within this district shall be stored in tightly-covered containers placed in visually-screened areas and in accordance with the following provisions Exception: containers used for paper recycling are not required to be placed within visually screened areas.
(a) The standard refuse container required by this chapter shall be a receptacle of impervious material and sturdy construction, with a tight-fitting cover and equipped with handles properly placed to facilitate handling.
(b) The occupant of every building, structure or premises used or maintained in connection with any business or occupation, shall provide and maintain in good condition and repair a sufficient number of refuse containers for the temporary storage of all refuse accumulating between collections.
(c) It shall be the duty of the occupant of every building, structure or premises used or maintained in connection with any business or occupation, to cause to be removed, at his or her own cost and expense, at least once each week, all refuse produced therein.
(d) Every person owning or controlling any hotel, restaurant, café or retail food establishment where more than 32 gallons of refuse is normally produced each week shall cause all garbage to be placed in sanitary refuse containers and shall cause all substances deposited in such containers to be removed daily from his or her premises and to be disposed of at his or her own expense.
(5) Screening. Along the side and rear lot lines of any business use which abut a residential district, screening shall be installed in the form of a wall, solid fence or closely-planted shrubbery, which is at least six feet high and which completely blocks the view from the adjacent residential property.
(Prior Code, § 20-907)
(H) Special regulations, business condominiums.
(1) Business condominiums shall be required to conform to all of the area bulk restrictions contained in division (D) above. The minimum lot size shall be determined by measurements of the lot upon which the structure shall be situated. Minimum setbacks shall be determined from the location of the building structure upon the building lot. Private ownership of individual portions of a building shall in no way effect minimum setback requirements for that lot.
(2) All uses which occupy a building condominium unit must be in conformity with division (B) above, reflecting permitted uses in a Highway Business District or may be special uses permitted under division (C) above; provided, however, that, all procedures and requirements of the Land Development Code with regard to special uses have been complied with.
