§ 19.524.010 Trash Storage Facilities.

All refuse shall be stored within trash containers which meet City standards. Except when temporarily placed for pickup, all such containers shall be located or screened so as not to be in public view.

Except for a temporary use, all non-residential uses, as well as mobile home parks and group quarters in the commercial and industrial zones shall provide a trash enclosure for the purpose of: screening the trash container(s) from public view, maintaining any loose debris within the enclosure, providing a permanent location for the container(s) that will not encroach upon driveways, parking, pedestrian, and emergency access areas, eliminating the accessibility of trash to the elements and animals, and to prevent rainwater infiltration into the trash storage area and run-off from reaching storm drains. The trash enclosure shall conform to the following standards:

All required trash enclosures shall include adequate, accessible, and convenient areas for storing and loading trash, recyclables, and organic materials, and shall meet the requirements as shown in Illustrations 19.524.010.

Location. Enclosures shall be readily accessible to building occupants, facility maintenance personnel, and to the City's contracted trash hauler, and shall not interfere with other activities on the site. An enclosure shall be located within 250 feet of the appropriate doorway of each business. Enclosures shall provide adequate access so as to minimize effort in the collection and removal of container contents from the enclosures. A rear or side access door or gate shall be installed for multi-tenant users to easily access bins. Such location shall be subject to the approval of the Planning Division.

Maintenance. All trash enclosures and adjacent paving shall be maintained.

If the required expansion of any existing trash enclosure requires the removal of one parking space or increase in the number of compact parking spaces beyond what is allowed under Section 19.536.060 (Parking Dimensions and Layout), it may be granted under Section 19.128.090 (Zoning Compliance Review).

All trash enclosures shall obtain approval for capacity, location, and design from the City's franchise waste hauler before issuance of a building permit.

Upon written acceptance from the franchised agent for trash disposal, the requirement for a trash enclosure may be waived by the Director for a trash compactor, provided that the storage of the compactor and all trash shall be kept within the building and that the type and amount of trash will not create a public nuisance.

Outdoor storage of materials, equipment, or other items is permitted only where allowed under Section 19.512.010, subject to all other limitations of this Division and other laws. Outdoor storage shall not be located in any required parking area, loading area or accessway, in any front yard, in any area required to be landscaped, or in any area where a six-foot-high fence is not permitted.

Except as further provided in this section, all outdoor storage shall be screened from public view (as defined in Section 19.104.080); and, if located within three hundred thirty feet of a freeway or major highway, shall also be screened from view from such freeway or highway. Required screening shall be accomplished by one or more of the following methods:

By buildings or structures located on the same lot as the outdoor storage;

By buildings or structures located on abutting property where such buildings or structures immediately abut the property line;

By fences at least six feet high which meet the requirements of Chapter 19.528. Where access drives or walks enter such fenced outdoor storage areas, they shall have gates with substantially the same height, appearance, and screening effectiveness as the required fencing.

Stored materials or other items shall not be stacked higher than the sight-screening provided.

The following exceptions from the sight-screening requirements of subsections B and C of this section are permitted:

Plant nursery stock, when neatly arranged, need not be screened. All stored items other than living plants shall be screened.

Temporary Displays. Not withstanding the provisions of subsections A and B of this section, temporary outdoor displays are permitted when authorized for a temporary use permit under Division 10 of this Title. Such temporary displays may be located upon required parking areas, walkways and landscaped areas only to the extent permitted by the terms of the authorizing permit.

§ 19.528.010 General Requirements. [1]

No fence shall be constructed within the commercial and industrial zones until the plans and design for such fence shall have been approved pursuant to the zoning compliance review procedure (Section 19.128.090). In addition, a fence may require a building permit from the Building Division.

All fences, whether required or not, shall be located and limited in accordance with provisions of this Division.

Fences are required under various provisions of this Division and other laws, including, but not limited to, the screening and protection of parking areas, storage areas, swimming and therapeutic pools, and utility facilities. Such required fences together with the facilities and activities required to be enclosed shall be located so as not to conflict with open space and yard setback requirements.

Conflict with State Law. In the case of fencing requirements pursuant to state law which unavoidably conflict with the requirements of this Division, the state requirements shall prevail.

[1]

As defined in Section 19.104.080, the term "fence" as used in this Division means fence, freestanding wall, hedge, or berm unless otherwise specifically stated.

§ 19.528.020 Fence Height.

A maximum 2-foot-high solid fence may be permitted anywhere on a lot.

A not view-obscuring fence, such as wrought iron, may be permitted as follows:

A maximum of a 3.5-foot-high fence may be permitted anywhere on a lot.

A maximum of a 6-foot-high decorative fence may be permitted along any street frontage at a distance equal to or greater than the required parking setback for the zone (see subsection (b) of Section 19.520.020.B.1.). This provision shall not supersede the requirements of Chapter 19.536 of this Division.

Elsewhere, a 15-foot maximum height fence may be permitted with exceptions for the following required yards and areas:

For the CO, CS, CG, and CM zones, within the required 20-foot front yard and the required 20-foot side or rear yard, abutting a street, measured from the street property line.

For the ML zone, within the required 25-foot front yard and the required 15-foot side or rear yard, abutting a street, measured from the street property line.

For the MH zone, within the required 50-foot front yard and the required 20-foot side or rear yard, abutting a street, measured from the street property line.

In all commercial and industrial zones, fences more than seven feet in height shall be permitted only when approved under the site plan review procedure (Section 19.128.040) and subject to the terms of such approval as well as the same yard and area restrictions detailed in subsection C of this section.

The maximum height of any fence shall be 15 feet except where a greater height is required for sightscreening or noise reduction.

(Ord. 1382 § 14, 1998; Ord. 1737, 4/9/2024)

§ 19.528.030 Fence Materials and Design.

All fences in every zone, whether required or not, shall:

Utilize no salvaged materials unless reconditioned or refinished.

Be suitably finished on both sides.

Utilize colors and materials that are compatible with the property and neighborhood.

All fences shall be maintained in good repair and appearance.

Chain Link and Wire Fencing. Except within the MH zone and as permitted within this section, there shall be no use of chain link or wire fencing in a location between a street and any buildings on a property or which otherwise faces a street property line within public view.

Chain link fencing may be used within such areas for approved temporary uses and for the purpose of temporarily securing vacant or vacated properties and construction sites.

For site screening purposes, a chain link gate with screening slats may be used across driveways within such areas.

For temporary site screening purposes for a period of 3 years or less, a chain link fence with screening slats may be used around soil remediation equipment.

Where the location and public view is a side or rear property line along a Commuter Arterial or Local Street, as defined within the Circulation Element of the General Plan, chain link fencing may be permitted in such areas pursuant to an Interdepartmental Review. Plans submitted for review shall exhibit such construction details as vinyl-coated or painted posts and top rails with a vinyl-coated heavy gauge chain link wire mesh to enhance the durability and appearance of the fence.

Vision Clearance Area. Any fence within the required vision clearance area adjacent to any driveway or alley where it intersects with a public street, as defined under section 19.536.020, shall not be a view-obscuring fence.

Any masonry wall shall be of a minimum 6 inch wide block construction. In addition, the wall shall be of ornamental masonry in earthtone colors compatible with the structures on the property. Standard grey or pink block shall not be considered as ornamental masonry and may not be used except to match existing adjacent walls.

(Ord. 1367 § 7, 1998)

§ 19.528.040 Required Fences in Commercial and Industrial Zones.

In any commercial or industrial zone, any open use (a use not including a main building) shall be fenced and landscaped along any street frontage in the same manner as required for parking areas (see subsection E of Section 19.532.010 and subsection E of Section 19.536.070).

In a commercial or industrial zone, in connection with any development, an ornamental solid masonry fence shall be provided along any property line of the subject property which abuts any residential zone. Within the front yard, such fence shall have the maximum height allowed for fences in the front yard in the abutting residential zone. Elsewhere, such fence shall be not less than six feet high and not more than seven feet high.

§ 19.528.050 Double Fences.

Any parallel fences constructed with less than 3 feet separation shall be considered double fences. It is the in-tent of the City to discourage double fences whenever possible in order to avoid areas in which children and animals may become lodged, areas which may encourage rodent infestation, and areas which may accumulate litter and debris.

In instances where double fences are unavoidable, the gap between the fences shall be completely sealed with flashing, cement cap, or other material in a manner acceptable to the Planning and Building Divisions.

Where a new fence is required along a property line and an existing fence or wall is located on the opposite side of the property line, the Director may suspend the requirement for the new fence provided that the existing fence can substantially satisfy all requirements of this Division and/or any conditions of an approval. Such suspension shall become null and void once the adjacent wall or fence is removed or found unacceptable by the Director and the requirement for the new fence shall be completed at such time.

§ 19.532.010 Where Required.

In all zones, all required yards which abut streets shall be permanently landscaped except for any portion of such yards occupied by permitted encroachments or other permitted facilities.

Except for property in the MR, ML, and MH Zones, all portions of a developed site not occupied by other permitted facilities shall be permanently landscaped.

For non-conforming residential development in the commercial and industrial zones, the landscaping requirements of Division 4 shall apply.

Landscaped Buffer—Between Commercial or Industrial Zone and Residential Zone. For any permanent nonresidential use located on a lot in a commercial or industrial zone, and where such lot abuts any residential zone, a row of trees shall be located adjacent to all such abutting residentially zoned property (in addition to the fence required by Section 19.528.040). Such buffer shall provide within a short period after installation a continuous and attractive screen of foliage in accordance with the following requirements.

The landscaped buffer shall be at least 10 feet wide. Vehicles may overhang the minimum 10 foot wide planter provided that they will not interfere with the placement of trees with any existing or proposed footings of adjacent walls.

The major component of the buffer area shall be trees of a minimum 15 gallon size. Selection of the species is optional; however, the Director shall have the authority to deny the use of any species which may be known to have a detrimental character, such as shallow root structure, excessive leaf or blossom dropping, or a species which will not provide an effective screen.

The spacing shall be no greater than the normal spread of the mature species but in no case greater than 20 feet from center to center.

In the event multi-story buildings are involved, a tree species of greater height and size may be required as a condition of approval. If the bottom line of foliage is above the fence line, additional lower growing shrubs or trees shall be interspersed to provide a continuous visual screen. The tree species shall provide such continuous screening within five years.

The size, shape, and rate of growth of any species shall be as defined in any landscape reference source acceptable to the Director.

Parking Lot Landscaping Improvements.

Landscaped Buffers Along Streets. Within the required setback areas for parking (See Section 19.520.020), one of the following, or a combination thereof, shall be provided except at driveway and walkway openings and as required for vision clearance by Section 19.536.020:

Additional requirements may be imposed, based upon substantiated estimates, as a condition of approval of a development under site plan review, conditional use permit, or other development approval procedure provided for in this Title. For uses or property for which no parking requirement is set forth in Table 19.536.040, nor previously determined under the interpretation procedure (Section 19.128.010), nor established under a development approval procedure, a parking requirement shall be determined for that type of use pursuant to the interpretation procedure set forth in Section 19.128.010.

The floor area of any space used for parking, loading, or vehicular circulation shall not be included in the gross floor area use to calculate a parking requirement.

Where there is more than one activity or use on a lot, the total parking space requirement shall be the sum of requirements for the separate components unless a conditional use permit is granted by the City for shared parking. An application for shared parking facilities may be considered for uses with significantly different peak hours of operation which must meet the following requirements:

The number of parking spaces credited from one use to another under a shared parking agreement shall not create a situation where either use does not maintain the minimum number of spaces deemed necessary during peak hours of operation.

Parking spaces designated for joint use shall be located within a reasonable proximity to the use served as determined by the permit issued.

A written agreement shall be drawn to the satisfaction of the City Attorney and executed by all parties concerned assuring the continued availability of the number of spaces designated for joint use.

Where an off-street parking district has been established, the parking space requirement for each property within the district shall be reduced by the share of the total spaces provided by the district which is proportional to the share of the district assessment borne by the same property.

Any fractional space requirement resulting from the calculation of required parking spaces shall be disregarded if less than 0.50 space and shall be counted as one required space if 0.50 or greater.

§ 19.540.010 Intent and Policy.

This chapter is intended to meet the requirements of the California Government Code, Section 65089(3) (b) which requires development of a trip reduction and travel demand element to the CMP, and California Government Code, Section 65089.3(a) (2) which requires adoption and implementation of Trip Reduction and Travel Demand Ordinance.

New commercial, office, industrial, and mixed use developments employing 100 persons or more may adversely impact existing transportation and parking facilities, resulting in increased motor vehicle emissions, deteriorating levels of service, and possibly significant additional capital expenditures to augment and improve the existing transportation system. In order to more efficiently utilize the existing and planned transportation system and to reduce vehicle emissions, it is the policy of the City to:

Reduce the number of peak-period vehicle trips generated in association with new development.

Promote and encourage the use of alternative transportation modes such as ridesharing, car pools, vanpools, public bus, and rail transit, bicycles, and walking as well as those facilities that support such modes.

Achieve related reductions in vehicle trips, traffic congestions, and public expenditure and achieve air quality improvements through utilization of existing local mechanisms and procedures for project review and permit processing.

Promote coordinated implementation of strategies on a county-wide basis to reduce transportation demand.

Achieve the most efficient use of local resources through coordinated and consistent regional and local TDM programs.

(Ord. 1233 § 7,1989)

§ 19.552.090 Adult Entertainment Businesses.

Purposes and Findings. It is the intent of these regulations to prevent problems of blight and deterioration which can be brought about by the concentration of adult entertainment businesses in close proximity to each other or proximity to other incompatible uses such as schools for minors, public parks, and residentially zoned districts. Recent studies prepared by other jurisdictions with respect to the establishment of such adult-oriented businesses have demonstrated that a number of detrimental social and economic effects are produced to those persons and properties immediately surrounding established adult-oriented businesses. Moreover, recent opinions of the United States Supreme Court have upheld local regulations of such adult-oriented businesses when regulations are predicated upon the fact that establishment of such businesses disrupts the social and economic welfare of those areas immediately adjacent to such businesses and, therefore, dispersal of such businesses from churches, schools, parks, and residences is necessary and appropriate for the preservation of the public health, safety and welfare.

Prior to the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter, this Council has had available and reviewed detailed studies prepared by other jurisdictions with respect to the detrimental social and economic effects produced to those persons and properties immediately surrounding established adult-oriented businesses. These studies included those prepared by the Cities of Indianapolis, Indiana; Phoenix, Arizona; Los Angeles, California; and Austin, Texas. The consensus of these studies tend to demonstrate that the crime rate in areas surrounding even one adult-oriented business tends to escalate (particularly as to sex-related crimes) and that property values in such areas tend to show a marked decrease. This is particularly true given a close proximity to residential areas. The general summary is that it is reasonable and prudent that local jurisdictions exercise zoning power to regulate the location of adult-oriented businesses to operate in areas of the community that, while accessible to their patrons, are located in districts that are least likely to injure the general welfare of residents. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in said studies, this Council hereby finds as follows:

Areas within close walking distance of single and multiple family dwellings should be free of adult-oriented businesses;

Areas where children could be expected to walk, patronize or recreate should be free of adult-oriented businesses;

Adult-oriented businesses should be located in areas of the City which are not in close proximity to residential uses, churches, parks, and other public facilities and schools;

The image of the City of Buena Park as a pleasant and attractive place to reside will be adversely effected by the presence of adult-oriented businesses in close proximity to residential land uses, churches, parks, and schools;

Regulation of adult-oriented businesses should be developed to prevent deterioration and/or degradation of the vitality of the City before the problem exists, rather than in response to an existing problem;

The Buena Park Redevelopment Agency has instituted a number of specific redevelopment projects for the purpose of upgrading existing deteriorated and "blighted" economic and social conditions in and around such project areas. The presence of adult-oriented businesses in and around such existing project areas would defeat the purpose of such redevelopment projects;

Commercial areas of the City patronized by young people and children should be free of adult-oriented businesses;

Areas where students are walking to and from school should be free of adult-oriented businesses so not to be subjected to confrontation with the existence of such businesses;

Adult-oriented businesses should be regulated by zoning to separate them from other dissimilar uses just as any other land use should be separated from uses with characteristics different from itself;

The location of adult-oriented businesses in proximity to residential uses, churches, parks, and schools may lead to increased levels of criminal activities, including prostitution, rape, incest, and assaults in the vicinity of such adult-oriented businesses;

The experience in numerous other cities has shown that the location of adult-oriented businesses tends to degrade the quality of areas in which they are located and cause a blighting effect upon the City;

Location of adult-oriented businesses in close proximity to residential uses, churches, parks and schools will reduce retail trade to commercial uses in the vicinity, thus reducing property values and tax revenues to the City. Such adverse effects on property values will cause the loss of some commercial establishments followed by a blighting effect upon the commercial districts, within the City, leading to deterioration of the commercial/economic quality of the City;

Location of adult-oriented businesses within walking distances of churches and other religious facilities will have an adverse effect upon the ministry of such churches and will discourage attendance at such churches by the proximity of such adult-oriented businesses;

A reasonable regulation of the location of adult-oriented businesses will provide for the protection of the image of the City of Buena Park and its property values, and protect the residents of the community from the adverse effects of such adult-oriented businesses, while providing to those who desire to patronize adult-oriented businesses an opportunity in areas within the City which are appropriate for location of adult-oriented businesses;

The initial location of adult-oriented businesses will lead to the location of additional and similar uses within the same vicinity, thus multiplying the adverse impacts of the location of adult-oriented businesses upon residential uses, churches, parks, and schools and directly cause adverse impacts upon the image and quality of the character of the entire community; and,

The above-referenced findings and conclusions can be feasibly promoted and/or achieved by adoption of this Ordinance.

The Development Services Department of the City of Buena Park has conducted and completed a study of properties within the City of Buena Park as they will relate to the development propensities and characteristics of adult-oriented businesses; the result of such study to evaluate and recommend reasonable, prudent, and thorough regulations concerning the location and operation of adult-oriented businesses in those areas of the community that, while accessible to their patrons, best promote the goals, findings, and policies set forth in subsection A1 of this section. Prior to the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter, this Council has reviewed the findings and data contained in such study (entitled "Land Use Planning Study, December 1992") which study is incorporated herein by reference.

It is, therefore, the purpose of these regulations to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the concentration of adult businesses or their close proximity to incompatible uses, while permitting the location of adult businesses in certain areas.

Definitions. The following words shall have the following meanings:

It is the intent of this Section that the definitions set forth in the Buena Park Zoning Ordinance shall apply but only where they do not conflict with any definition set forth in this Section.

§ 19.556.010 Intent and Policy.

This chapter is intended to provide a method to facilitate larger, more intensive regional commercial development utilizing imaginative and innovative planning concepts exhibiting excellence in design, site planning, integration of uses and structures, and protection of the integrity of neighboring development. It is the intent to provide more efficient use of land and coordinated allocation and maintenance of high quality, usable open space.

This chapter enumerates principles and standards designed to capitalize upon the special qualities and opportunities of the area while permitting the flexibility required to consider unique and imaginative designs. Master planning concepts are encouraged to establish a pattern for the arrangement of land use, circulation, open space, and other features necessary to coordinate development on adjacent parcels of property or consolidation of smaller contiguous commercial properties into a larger master planned integrated regional commercial center. The objective is to create a functionally and visually integrated development for the entire area through the provision of special standards and development incentives.

These standards are adopted in order to establish regulations, conditions, standards, and criteria for the implementation of regional commercial "town center" development providing a wide array of retail, commercial, entertainment, office, professional, and recreational services and merchandising. The mechanisms for development incorporated within this chapter are designed to recognize that this development scenario is unique to this section of the City. The intent is to achieve a regional retail/entertainment complex with associated services, in order to encourage the viability of the area as a commercial "town center" as well as enhance urban design in association with development under a unified concept.

(Ord. 1382 § 18, 1998)

§ 19.556.020 Area Development Policies.

The following policies shall apply in design and implementation of development and uses.

The "town center" concept of development shall be implemented through a "master planning" concept illustrating an overall site design scheme to encourage a regional commercial mall or shopping center, utilizing a design approach which develops the entire area into a singular, comprehensive, and coordinated town center commercial/entertainment complex oriented toward the regional marketplace.

Development standard and intensity incentives may be approved in order to encourage unique, innovative, and imaginative architectural and site design and development schemes to create a heightened visual environment while providing appropriate buffering between the development areas and adjacent residential areas.

Comprehensive architectural planning shall be provided which assures complementary design with existing structures through the use of building materials, finishes and colors, as well as landscape and hardscape materials and finishes. A diversity of massing, scale, building heights, and landscape setbacks with enhanced use of lighting is encouraged. Architecture, signs, lighting, pedestrian walks, and landscaping shall achieve a harmony of all elements with an overall design concept for the entire development area.

The design and control of pedestrian and vehicular circulation shall be coordinated in order to provide safe and convenient access to all facilities within the area and provide a distinctive pedestrian and vehicular link between the development area and adjacent public facilities. Emphasis shall be given to circulation efficiency and the flow of traffic along the public streets by increasing vehicular access between adjoining properties and keeping the number of access driveways from the public street to a minimum. Safe ingress and egress points shall be established, and pedestrian traffic shall be separated from vehicular traffic to the maximum extent feasible. Provisions shall be made for public transit, as well as passenger loading and unloading within the development area. Loading and unloading of goods and refuse areas shall be shielded from public view to the maximum extent feasible.

Retention of larger parcels and further combination of smaller parcels to encourage large scale development shall be encouraged. Development associated with the master plan shall include provision for future lot consolidation, shared access, mutual easements, and coordinated maintenance of site improvements on adjacent parcels.

Pedestrian-oriented landscaped and/or public use areas shall include such elements as plazas and courtyards enhanced with architectural elements, such as gazebos, trellises, pergolas, and canopies. A high quality, well-defined public assembly and pedestrian circulation system is highly encouraged.

The master plan shall demonstrate exemplary attention to enhanced detail for all aspects of site and architectural development in order to provide total integration of the plan development, including special attention to landscaping, graphics, lighting, courtyards, buffers and linkages, as well as service and parking areas.

Except as provided within this chapter, or as approved through the master planning concept, the applicable provisions of Title 19 shall apply. Deviation from required standards may be authorized in order to maximize the potential benefits and opportunities of the regional commercial center.

Pedestrian-oriented linkages within enclosed mall areas and between tenants are considered an integral part of the town center concept. All uses within a shopping mall must have pedestrian access to the common court areas. Alternative access plans may be approved pursuant to the Conditional Use Permit process contained within Section 19.128.020 and the provisions of this chapter.

(Ord. 1382 § 18 (part), 1998; Ord. 1405 § 7, 2000)

§ 19.556.030 Master Plan Requirement.

The Master Plan shall demonstrate distinctive design in site planning, structural design, architectural treatment, landscaping, and integration into the community. Overall coordinated integrity of the properties shall be demonstrated through comprehensive landscape and hardscape plans, as well as a comprehensive architectural design plan, assuring compatibility of existing and proposed buildings, comprehensive sign program, and provisions for coordinated maintenance of site improvements on all parcels within the area.

In order to demonstrate compliance with the objectives of this chapter, master plans shall accompany the submittal of any proposed development within this zone, with the following exceptions as determined by the Director:

Interior and exterior alterations of existing structures which will not result in a change of building floor area or require additional parking, or substantially impact adjacent property.

Alteration of existing site improvements which will not substantially alter vehicular and pedestrian circulation.

Temporary uses, as permitted in Section 19.512.010 and Division 10 Temporary Use and Special Permits.

The Master Plan shall illustrate or otherwise provide the information necessary to substantiate compliance with the objectives enumerated above for all properties within one of the following areas which relate to the proposed project:

Master Plan Area North, containing all CR-zoned properties located on the north side of La Palma Ave., or

Master Plan Area South, containing all CR-zoned properties located on the south side of La Palma Ave.

The Master Plan shall provide for shared access, whether currently proposed or planned for the future, between all contiguous parcels in the area as well as the development of a comprehensive plan for parking as well as vehicular and pedestrian circulation.

The Master Plan may also be used as the conceptual plan for long-term or phased plan development. Minor alterations to the approved Master Plan may be approved by the Community Development Director if the proposed alteration does not materially affect the overall project design.

(Ord. 1382 § 18 (part), 1998)

§ 19.556.040 Review Criteria.

In order to maximize project excellence, the maximum degree of flexibility shall be provided in order to encourage excellence and imagination in design.

Any proposed development requiring the preparation and submittal of a master plan or utilizing special provisions and development incentives of this section shall be reviewed in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.128.020 for a Conditional Use Permit.

Other proposed projects which would not require submittal of a master plan shall be reviewed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Title 19, except that the project shall demonstrate compliance with the criteria and intent of this chapter as to the project compatibility with existing surrounding structures and site improvements.

Any modifications to a building with public exterior mall entries or exits shall be subject to the Conditional Use Permit process contained in Section 19.128.020 and the provisions of this chapter.

The proposed use of any building with public exterior mall entries or exits where the prior use has been discontinued for longer than 4 months shall be subject to the Conditional Use Permit process contained in Section 19.128.020 and the provisions of this chapter.

Allowable Wall Sign Area. The allowable amount of wall sign area for a shopping center shall be established as part of the master sign program, such that the total sign area for all wall and ground signs will not exceed the total allowable sign area for the development. Unless specified otherwise in an approved sign program, the allowable amount of wall sign area per tenant space shall be limited to the following formula:

Sign Area = 2 ft. x 70% of width (in feet) of the tenant business frontage, except, for a business frontage of less that 15 feet, a minimum of 20 square feet shall be permitted.

Number of Wall Signs. Each tenant within a shopping center in the CR zone shall be permitted one wall sign and one logo per business. Additionally, tenant spaces meeting specified criteria shall be permitted the following:

Upon a sign program approval, one wall sign may be permitted for each additional tenant wall facing a parking lot or street. Total sign area of all such wall signs shall be within the allowable wall sign area for that tenant space.

For a tenant space exceeding 30,000 square feet in floor area, up to four additional wall signs may be permitted for the purpose of advertising goods or services offered. The area of all wall signs for such tenant shall be within the total allowable wall sign area for the tenant space. Furthermore, the additional signs permitted within this section shall be subordinate in area and size to a primary wall sign.

Materials and Design.

A wall sign shall not extend in length beyond 70 percent of any business frontage. For a business frontage of less than 15 feet, the wall sign may extend beyond this point, if a minimum 5 foot separation is provided from any other wall sign.

All wall signs within a shopping center in the CR zone shall be complementary in size, shape, proportion and construction to the overall architectural design and/or theme for the center.

Shopping Mall. For a shopping mall in the CR Zone, the following sign criteria for wall signs shall apply.

Allowable Wall Sign Area. The allowable amount of wall sign area for a shopping mall shall be established as part of the master sign program, such that the total sign area for all wall and ground signs will not exceed the total allowable sign area for the development.

One wall sign and one additional wall sign containing a logo identifying the name of the center shall be permitted for each customer entry into the interior common areas of the mall, which may be mounted on a wall or on a separate structure which is architecturally integrated with the adjacent buildings and considered part of the public entrance. For the purposes of this section only, such signs shall not be considered "roof" signs if they project above or are mounted on top of such a structure. Special lighting or architectural graphics and features shall not be considered as sign area.

For a major anchor tenant, one wall sign identifying the name of the business and one logo shall be permitted for each building wall.

(iv)

For each sub-major tenant, one additional wall sign shall be permitted, subject to sign program review for proposed location, size, design and appearance.

(v)

Additional wall signs within the development may be allowed pursuant to the review and approval of a master sign program.

(vi)

With the exception of the provisions of subsection 2.m of this section for common area entry signs, wall signs may be mounted only on walls and parapets or on fascias and penthouses which have a slope of 25 degrees or more from horizontal. These signs shall not extend above the top edge of any of these features.

(vii)

One wall sign which provides street level identification of a customer entry into a major anchor tenant store or of a service bay entry for automotive-related uses shall be permitted for each customer entry or service bay. Each sign must not exceed 6 square feet in area for an entry, nor 3 square feet in area for a service bay.

Entertainment Promenade. For an approved entertainment promenade, an additional number of wall and ground signs as well as additional allowable sign area may be permitted through the review and approval of a master sign program for this area pursuant to Section 19.904.060.

As part of the sign plan review, the application shall include information regarding the following.

Development plans for the entertainment promenade which clearly depict pedestrian-scaled building, landscape and other hardscape details and features which will promote a strong sense of a special place or activity area.

Precise delineation of the location and area boundaries as well as the proposed uses for the entertainment promenade. One wall sign and one additional wall sign containing a logo identifying the name of the center shall be permitted for each building frontage.

Detailed sign criteria, including design, precise locations, and dimensioned sign face areas and heights.

Additional Permitted Wall Signs and Wall Sign Area. For each tenant with a business frontage located on an approved entertainment promenade, one additional wall sign per tenant may be permitted, with an additional allowable wall sign area of two square feet per foot of business frontage along the promenade. For an entertainment promenade with a major theater complex as an anchor, an additional number of wall signs and wall sign area may be considered pursuant to a conditional use permit.

Wall signs within an entertainment promenade may be mounted on a wall or on a separate sign structure which is architecturally integrated with the adjacent buildings and considered an architectural feature. For the purposes of this section only, a wall sign may be mounted to a wall, fascia, or similar sign structure as a "projecting sign" with a projection greater than one foot as defined under the sign regulations of Division 9 of Title 19. Furthermore, such a sign shall not be considered a "roof" sign if it projects above or is mounted on top of such a structure.

For an entertainment promenade with a major theater complex as an anchor, one monument sign, not exceeding a height of 20 feet, shall be permitted adjacent to a street frontage in addition to the number of ground signs permitted elsewhere in this chapter.

Building Graphics and Murals. Building graphics and/or murals shall be subject to the review and approval of the Director when, in the view of the Director, the proposed graphics and/or murals are compatible with their proposed location and with the design and architecture of the structure. Such graphics and murals are intended to promote general community interest, however, business and product names may appear on the graphics and murals in a subordinate manner which is considered appropriate to the particular type and scale of graphic and/or mural. Graphics and murals may be changeable in design, including such examples as seasonal events and holidays, special activities and community events, and may include movie posters and similar artwork, as well as running electronic message signs. Authorization of building graphics and murals under this section exempts such building graphics and murals from allowable sign area calculations.

The provisions of Section 19.912.010 E, F, and H for canopy signs, display board signs, and pennants and banners, shall also apply for all development in the CR zone. Likewise, the provisions of Chapter 19.904 shall apply to any such development except that notwithstanding the provisions of Section 19.912.010, electronic message word display ground signs may be permitted with a conditional use permit review and approval.
