The provisions of this section apply to the HAR district. The HAR district is established to recognize and provide areas for the shipping, receiving, and storage of materials at a water port facility. Desired uses are those which require docking facilities in conjunction with a deep-water port. Service facilities and other uses which are compatible, incidental or accessory to surface water shipping are included. It is not intended that residential or commercial uses be permitted in this district except as authorized by this Ordinance. Such uses are provided for in other, more appropriate, locations.

(Ord. No. 144, 8-13-2019)

All principal, accessory and conditional uses and structures in the HAR district shall be subject to the area, location and height restrictions as specified in Article 35, Schedule of Zoning District Regulations.

(2)

All storage of materials and equipment used in the business except vehicles shall be visually screened to a height of at least six feet above the highest elevation of the nearest adjacent road or property bordering the site unless in the opinion of the Planning Commission or other approving authority the material is stored in a manner that it is not readily visible from off-site or that the material is located such a substantial distance from adjacent properties and roadways that it is not a visual nuisance as seen from off-site.

In no case shall the outside storage of materials or equipment be stacked higher than the height of the visual screen unless in the opinion of the Planning Commission or other approving authority the material is stored in a manner that it is not readily visible from off-site or that the material is located such a substantial distance from adjacent properties and roadways that it is not a visual nuisance as seen from off-site.
