(a)

Architectural design and aesthetic standards for structures in the B-1, central business district, B-2, business-highway and B/R, mixed use business/residential zoning districts. To promote a degree of consistency, and to preserve the architectural and aesthetic character of the city, the following architectural design and aesthetic standards shall apply to all new or materially-altered structures in the B-1, central business district and B-2, business-highway zoning districts and shall apply to proposed commercial structures in the B/R mixed-use, business/residential zoning district, to the extent such structural or material alterations are visible from the street, including any side street, abutting the lot on which the structure is situated. Architectural design and aesthetic standards shall be reviewed in conjunction with site plan review.

Except as provided below, as used in this section, "immediate vicinity" means all parcels whose property lines lie within 500 feet of the subject property.

Property covenants and restrictions which are more stringent than these standards shall apply. Commercially-zoned properties which are located within the City Historic District shall be reviewed under the provisions of section 54-424.

(1)

Roof. Roof forms and materials shall be visually compatible with the existing architectural context of the streetscape and the majority of structures in the immediate vicinity, whether residential or commercial. The pitch of the roof is critically important to the success of being visually compatible with the typical surrounding structures, and well-extended overhangs will help protect the structure from frequent and heavy rainfall. The roof covering shall be visually compatible with structures in the immediate vicinity.

(2)

Exterior finishes. Exterior wall and trim materials shall be visually compatible with the existing architectural context of the streetscape and immediate vicinity.

(3)

Design elements. All new or structurally or materially-altered commercial structures shall provide some sort of architectural character with the use of design elements. Examples of design elements which could be used for this purpose include, but are not limited to, roof dormers, extended entryways, covered porches, decorative columns and wing walls to enhance the appearance and alter the straight line or rectangular shape of the structure to be consistent with the majority of the structures in the immediate vicinity.

(4)

Windows and doors. Windows and doors shall be set back two to three inches from siding and trim to prevent the appearance of flatness to the facades, which is contrary to the appearance of the majority of buildings in Monticello.

(5)

Crawl space. The crawl space of an elevated above-grade building (that area located between the grade and the lowest floor member) shall be shielded by some architectural feature which is compatible with the design and architecture of the building so that the line of site from any public road, alley or walkway does not include any portion of the underside of the structure. Such feature shall be included as part of any building permit application.

(6)

Foundation and enclosure. A permanent foundation and enclosure shall be required to present a clean, uncluttered appearance around the perimeter of every new elevated structure.

(7)

Accessory structures. All accessory structures, if in the line of sight from any public road, alley or walkway, shall reflect architectural compatibility with the main structure and vicinity.

(8)

Height restrictions. Building height restrictions are found in section 54-160(a).

(Ord. No. 2023-08, § 1, 4-4-2023)

(a)

Existing lots of record. A single-family structure may be constructed on any nonconforming lot in any residential district if said lot is less then the minimum area for a building lot in the district in which it is located, provided the following conditions exist or are met:

(1)

Availability of adjacent vacant land. No structure shall be constructed on any nonconforming lot if the owner of said lot owns any adjoining vacant land which would create a conforming lot if said vacant land were combined with the lot deficient in area.

(2)

Front, side and rear yards. No structure shall be constructed on any nonconforming lot unless it shall have front, side, and rear yards conforming to the minimums required for the district in which said lot is located.

(b)

Yard regulations. Every part of a required yard must be open to the sky, unobstructed except for the ordinary projections of steps, sill, belt courses, cornices and other ornamental features projecting not more than four inches from the building wall, provided, however that roof overhangs up to 42 inches or one-half of the required yard, whichever is less, shall be permitted.

(c)

Placement of residential structures on lots in the R-1 residential, single-family district.All residential dwellings in the R-1 residential, single family district shall be constructed/placed on lots so that the fronts of such structures face, and are parallel to, the street on which they are located. A residential dwelling shall not face an alley way or any corner of the lot on which it is constructed/placed.

(d)

Architectural design and aesthetic standards for single-family dwellings in the R-1 residential, single-family district. To promote a degree of consistency, and to preserve the architectural and aesthetic character of residential neighborhoods in the city, the following architectural design and aesthetic standards shall apply to all new or structurally or materially-altered single family dwellings in the R-1 residential, single-family district, to the extent such structural or material alterations are visible from the street, including any side street, abutting the lot on which the dwelling is situated.

Except as provided below, as used in this section, "immediate neighborhood" means single-family dwellings whose property lines lie within 500 feet of the subject property and which are in the R-1 residential, single-family district.

The standards in this section shall apply to subdivisions and the historic district, but covenants or restrictions for these areas that are more stringent than these standards take precedence over these standards. The "immediate neighborhood" for a subdivision is the subdivision itself, and "immediate neighborhood" for the historic district is the district itself.

(1)

Roof. Roof forms and materials shall be visually compatible with the existing architectural context of the streetscape and the majority of dwellings in the immediate neighborhood. The pitch of the roof is critically important to the success of being visually compatible with the typical surrounding dwellings, and well-extended overhangs will help protect the home from frequent and heavy rainfall. The pitch of the major roof shall have a minimum vertical rise of four inches for each 12 inches of horizontal run with a minimum 12-inch overhang, measured horizontally from the outer edge of the sloped roof to the vertical face of the wall under the roof. The roof covering shall be visually compatible with the dwellings in the immediate neighborhood.

(2)

Exterior finishes. Exterior wall and trim materials shall be visually compatible with the existing architectural context of the streetscape and immediate neighborhood.

(3)

Design elements. All new or structurally or materially-altered dwellings shall provide some sort of architectural character with the use of design elements. Examples of design elements which could be used for this purpose include, but are not limited to, roof dormers, extended entryways, covered porches, decorative columns and wing walls to enhance the appearance and alter the straight line or rectangular shape of the structure to be consistent with the majority of the dwellings in the immediate neighborhood.

(4)

Windows and doors. Proportion, scale, height, shape, detailing and building material of windows and doors shall be consistent with the style of the proposed dwelling and other dwellings in the immediate neighborhood. Windows and doors shall be set back two to three inches from siding and trim to prevent the appearance of flatness to the facades, which is contrary to the appearance of the majority of buildings in Monticello.

(5)

Crawl space. The crawl space of an elevated above-grade building (that area located between the grade and the lowest floor member) shall be shielded by some architectural feature which is compatible with the design and architecture of the building so that the line of site from any public road, alley or walkway does not include any portion of the underside of the structure. Such feature shall be included as part of any building permit application.

(6)

Foundation and enclosure. A permanent foundation and enclosure shall be required to present a clean, uncluttered appearance around the perimeter of every new elevated home.

(7)

Accessory structures. All accessory structures, if in the line of sight from any public road, alley or walkway, shall reflect architectural compatibility with the main structure and neighborhood.

(d)

Private recreational facilities. Swimming pools, tennis courts, screen enclosures and similar facilities of a recreational nature shall conform to all side, rear and corner yard setbacks.

(e)

Regulations relating to fences and walls are contained in section 54-193.

(Ord. No. 2023-01, § 2, 1-3-2023)

Editor's note— Ord. No. 2023-01, § 2, adopted Jan. 3, 2023, repealed the former § 54-192 and enacted a new § 54-192 as set out herein. The former § 54-192 pertained to minimum yard regulations for accessory uses and derived from Ord. No. 90-13, § 04.02, adopted Aug. 7, 1990; and Ord. No. 2001-06, § 2(04.02), adopted Nov. 6, 2001.

(a)

Generally.

(1)

Fences and walls, except silt or erosion-controlling types, shall not be constructed, erected, or installed on a lot unless the primary allowed use/facility has been established.

(2)

Temporary construction fences shall not be allowed on residentially-zoned properties longer than 25 calendar days after issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The city manager may allow a longer time upon written request.

(b)

Material and opacity.

(1)

Fences and walls must be constructed of wood, plastic, vinyl, metal, brick, masonry or other materials designed for permanent outdoor fencing.

(4)

Fences within a front yard shall be no more than 50 percent opaque, allowing for the passage of light directly through the fence, except that on corner lots, fences behind the front face of the principal structure may be up to six feet tall and solid.

(c)

Location.

(1)

If a fence is offset from the property line, provisions shall be made to prevent vegetation from growing between any existing fence on an adjacent property and the new fence.

(3)

Fences or walls shall not encroach:

a.

Into or over any public right-of-way or easement. The city manager may authorize such fence only if it is determined that it would not interfere with the intended purpose and function of the easement or with any utilities. In such cases, the city or other companies duly authorized to install lines or equipment within such easement shall not be held liable for damages to the fence if the work within the easement would require removal of sections or the entire fence. The applicant shall be responsible for calling the affected utilities for line locations ( ex. Sunshine State 811) before constructing a fence or wall on any easement whether public or private;

b.

Into natural water bodies, wetlands, wetland buffers, and artificially created waterways.

(d)

Height.

(1)

Generally. Height limits apply within the yard regardless of the physical connection of the fence or wall to the principal structure.

The height of fences, walls and hedges is measured from the adjacent finished grade. Berms used in conjunction with fences or walls shall be considered as included in the height restriction for such structures. Where significant elevation differences exist between two adjacent properties, the height may be increased by the average difference in elevation between the two sides, measured from the finished grade up to five feet away on either side. The height may be similarly increased where significant elevation exists along a given property line. The additional height increase in both situations shall be limited to a maximum of two feet.

Decorative appurtenant elements shall be allowed to exceed the maximum fence/wall height as follows:

Column or post caps: up to an additional 12 inches above the body of fence. Caps may include masonry capitals, sculpture, finals and the like.

Caps on corner columns or posts and those supporting an entry gate to the property: up to an additional one-fourth of the maximum fence wall height. Caps may include masonry capitals, sculpture, finials and the like, as well as decorative lamps provided they do not create glare onto adjacent properties or public rights-of-way.

Archways, arbors and trellises physically attached to the fence/wall to create a pedestrian entry to the property from the street: up to a total maximum height of eight feet above the adjacent finished grade, and a maximum depth of five feet into the property from the property line.

(2)

(6)

Other land use conflicts. In any case where an unbuffered view exists within 500 feet from the side or rear service areas of any nonresidential land use to any single-family or two-family residential land use, uncomplementary buffer requirements shall apply as if such residential uses were located on immediately adjacent lands.

(b)

Buffer standards relating to uncomplementary land uses and zones. All landscaped buffer strips in existence on the date this chapter takes effect shall be maintained in their present form, or, in the alternative, may be altered to comply with the following requirements. The following landscaped buffer strips shall be required for all new development or redevelopment which creates an uncomplementary land use:

(1)

Width: A buffer strip of at least 20 feet in width along the property line where such conflict exists.

(2)

Tree count: A ratio of one tree for each 12½ linear feet of common boundary, with a minimum of 75 percent shade trees.

(3)

Visual screen: A continuous visual screen at least eight feet in height at maturity, formed by two rows of shrub material, or existing natural vegetation which provides a continuous visual screen, running the entire length of all common boundaries.

(4)

Reduced width alternative: For mobile home park, multifamily, or office uses or zones, a buffer fence having all required plan material placed toward the less intensive use and providing an access for maintenance may be combined with a ten-foot buffer strip as a substitution for the width required in subsection (1) above, if approved by the development administrator as meeting the objectives of this section.

(c)

Buffer fence standards.

(1)

Whenever a buffer fence is required, it shall be of sufficient height to obstruct view between adjoining properties, as determined by the development administrator, presumably a minimum of eight feet in height, unless the applicant can prove to the satisfaction of the development administrator that the intent of this section will be met by a fence of lesser height under the particular circumstances. The buffer fence shall be solid opaque, constructed of durable materials appropriate for the intended use and consistent with materials commonly used in surrounding neighborhoods, and shall include provision for access to all landscape materials.

(2)

The side of a fence facing a less intensive use shall have a finished appearance to furnish an aesthetically pleasing view.

(3)

At least one-half of all required plant material shall be installed and maintained on the side facing the less intensive use, unless otherwise specifically provided.

(2)

Mulch. Mulch material to a minimum compacted depth of two inches shall be provided for all planting areas.

(3)

Prevailing requirement. Whenever development activity is subject to both the perimeter landscaping requirements and the uncomplementary land use buffer strip requirements of this section, the latter requirement shall prevail.

(4)

Exclusions. No use shall be made of, nor development activity permitted in, the uncomplementary land use buffers and perimeter landscape areas except for:

a.

Planting material approved as part of the landscape plan.

b.

Completely underground utilities and essential, specifically approved, overhead or above-ground utilities which do not interfere with the mature growth of required plant material.

c.

Grass ditches, with back slopes no steeper than 3:1, which can support the required landscaping materials.
