City Zoning Code

§ 525-90

Supplemental design considerations for nonresidential uses in MC District.

[Added 12-12-1990 by Ord. No. 1990-29]
The developer or property owner shall abide by the following supplemental design considerations:
A. 
One building may contain more than one use, provided that the total building coverage of the combined use does not exceed the maximum building coverage specified for the district.
B. 
Material or equipment stored outside shall be screened from view by means of a fence and/or landscaping.
C. 
All buildings shall be compatibly designed, whether constructed all at one time or in stages over a period of time. All building walls facing any street or residential district line shall be suitably finished for aesthetic purposes, which shall not include unpainted or painted cinder block or concrete block walls.
D. 
All portions of the property not utilized by buildings or paved surfaces shall be landscaped utilizing combinations such as landscaped fencing, shrubbery, lawn area, ground cover, rock formations, contours, existing foliage and the planting of conifers and/or deciduous trees native to the area in order to either maintain or reestablish the tone of the vegetation in the area and less individual impact of the structures and paved areas.
E. 
The developer or property owner shall provide the maximum amount of highly improved public access, because commercial land uses are capable of exposing large numbers of people to the waterfront and benefit the most from well-designed and improved public access areas.
F. 
The developer or property owner shall provide the maximum amount of waterfront access, unless the overall project design would be improved by reverse orientation inland, and shall provide for continuous access through the site and provide public areas that are large enough so as not to interfere with commercial operations.
G. 
The developer or property owner shall take advantage of the waterfront setting by relating the development to the waterfront and shall locate uses that do not relate to the waterfront well back from the shoreline to minimize adverse impacts.
H. 
The developer or property owner shall provide public access improvements, such as parking, paved walkways, benches, kiosks, trash containers, landscaping, lighting, rest rooms and drinking fountains where the cost of the improvements are reasonably related to the private benefits of the shoreline use.
I. 
The developer or property owner shall provide the greatest amount of improved or natural public access to and along the waterfront shoreline.
J. 
The developer or property owner shall create variety and public access experience by providing pedestrians spaces or nodes, especially in marina projects which are often linear in nature, and shall provide public access for fishing on piers and breakwaters.
K. 
The developer or property owner shall provide public boat-launching ramps.
L. 
The developer or property owner shall set uses that do not relate to the waterfront, including offices and parking, well back from the shoreline and shall provide maximum access along the shoreline and screen the shoreline from incompatible uses.
M. 
The developer or property owner shall provide improvements, including landscaping, benches and paving, that are appropriate for the anticipated demand, size and location of the project.
