This section contains regulations which apply to nonresidential uses. Nonresidential land uses regulated in this section include commercial, office, light and heavy industry, and certain public/semipublic uses. Supplemental standards are provided for those land uses having characteristics which may have negative impacts without the additional regulations. These supplemental standards are applied over and above the standards contained elsewhere in this chapter.

(1)

Categories of use. All land uses not classified as residential are considered nonresidential in nature. Where more detailed data is required, refer to the Standard Industrial Classifications Manual (1987) prepared by the Statistical Policy Division for the United States Office of Management and Budget.

(2)

General standards. The development of nonresidential lots shall be allowed only in full compliance with the standards of this and other relevant sections of this chapter.

a.

Lot area and building placement. Certain minimum standards are hereby established for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the general public. The minimum lot sizes and building setbacks are designated in table 14-2.

b.

Signs shall be installed according to the standards shown in article X of this chapter.

c.

Landscaping shall be provided according to the standards in article XII of this chapter.

d.

Nonresidential lots shall front upon and have access from the following streets (see article VII of this chapter for street standards): local commercial (LC) and arterial (A-1, A-2) streets. See table 14-2 for the specific street standards associated with each lot type.

(3)

Recreation vehicle parks. It is the intent of this section to provide standards for the location and development of parks for recreation vehicles (RV). Such parks are designed specifically to allow temporary living accommodations for recreation, camping or travel use. Although the recreational vehicle park has some similarities to residential developments, it is categorized as a heavy commercial use when intended for temporary use. The developer shall meet the following standards in establishing a recreation vehicle park:

a.

The net density shall not be more than 25 rental sites per acre.

b.

Each rental site shall be a minimum of 1,200 square feet in area.

c.

A recreation area shall be provided and shall equal five percent of the gross site area.

d.

A central service building shall be provided containing the necessary toilet and other plumbing fixtures. Service buildings shall be located to serve rental sites within 400 feet of each building.

e.

All standards applying to mobile home parks with regard to utilities, public and/or private streets and fire protection shall apply to the design and development of a recreation vehicle park.

f.

Maximum rental period per unit per space shall not exceed 90 days.

g.

All recreational vehicles shall be separated from each other and from all other structures by at least ten feet.

h.

An RV park shall provide sufficient parking and maneuvering space so that the parking, loading, or maneuvering of recreational vehicles incidental to the parking shall not necessitate the use of any public street, sidewalk or right-of-way.
