Criteria – Site Plan Review | ||
Land Use Compatibility | ||
Development Density | Site area per unit or floor area ratio should be similar to surrounding uses if not separated by major natural or artificial features. | |
Height and Scale | ||
Height and Bulk | Development should minimize differences in height and building size from surrounding structures. Differences should be justified by urban design considerations. | |
Setbacks | Development should respect pre-existing setbacks in surrounding area. Variations should be justified by site or operating characteristics. | |
Building Coverage | Building coverage should be similar to that of surrounding development if possible. Higher coverage should be mitigated by landscaping or site amenities. | |
Site Development | ||
Frontage | Project frontage along a street should meet minimum frontage requirements and provide reasonable exposure for the development. | |
Parking and Internal Circulation | Parking should serve all structures with minimal conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. | |
All structures must be accessible to public safety vehicles. | ||
Development must have access to adjacent public streets and ways. Internal circulation should minimize conflicts and congestion at public access points. | ||
Landscaping | Landscaping should be integral to the development, providing street landscaping, breaks in uninterrupted paved areas, and buffering where required by surrounding land uses. Parts of site with sensitive environmental features or natural drainage ways should be preserved. | |
Building Design | Architectural design and building materials should be compatible with surrounding areas or highly visible locations | |
Operating Characteristics | ||
Traffic Capacity | Project should not reduce the existing level of traffic service on adjacent streets. Compensating improvements will be required to mitigate impact on street system operations. | |
External Traffic Effects | Project design should direct nonresidential traffic away from residential areas. | |
Operating Hours | Projects with long operating hours must minimize effects on surrounding residential areas. | |
Outside Storage | Outside storage areas must be screened from surrounding streets and less intensive land uses. | |
Public Facilities | ||
Sanitary Waste Disposal | Developments within 500 feet of a public sanitary sewer must connect to sewer system. Individual disposal systems, if permitted, shall not adversely affect public health, safety, or welfare. | |
Sanitary sewer must have adequate capacity to serve development. | ||
Storm Water Management | Development should handle storm water adequately to prevent overloading of public storm water management system. | |
Development should not inhibit development of other properties. | ||
Development should not increase probability of erosion, flooding, landslides, or other run-off related effects. | ||
Utilities | Project must be served by utilities. | |
Other | ||
Comprehensive Plan | Projects should be consistent with the City Comprehensive Development Plan | |
Common Facilities | Properties are required to have tornado shelters. Underground or other approved tornado shelters shall be provided in mobile home parks. Such shelter or shelters shall be built according to the recommendations of the Civil Defense authority and be large enough to meet the specific needs of the park and its residents | |
Certification | A certification of compliance with all ordinances and regulations regarding mobile home licensing, zoning, health, plumbing, electrical, building, fire protection, and any other applicable requirements shall be required of all mobile home parks. | |
