A. Commercial developments will occupy dominant locations within Toquerville and serve essential community commerce needs at different levels, from neighborhood to region-wide. The design of commercial spaces reflects the community’s character. The care and attention paid to the design of commercial projects exhibits the City’s pride in itself and contributes to its socio-economic vitality.
B. The following guidelines provide design concepts and direction for all commercial projects, encourage high quality and innovative design solutions and recognize the importance of storefront visibility as well as parking and circulation design to the success of commercial enterprises. The guidelines that implement the Design Principles set forth are intended to foster developments which would be in keeping with the overall character of Toquerville.
C. Site-specific standards shall take precedence when in conflict with the guidelines. Where such standards are silent, these guidelines will serve as a supplement. Toquerville City Ordinance Title 9 Building Regulations and Title 10 Land Use Regulations should be consulted for specific regulations governing land use and zoning development standards.
D. These Design Standards apply to Neighborhood Commercial Districts, Highway Commercial, Planned Commercial Zones as defined in Chapter 12 of this Title and Commercial Planning Areas within a Master Planned Development Overlay (MPDO) Development as defined in Article C, Chapter 15 of this Title.
E. All new commercial development shall be reviewed by the City Staff for compliance with these Design Standards. (Ord. 2020.16, 9-10-2020; amd. Ord. 2023.11, 5-17-2023)
