River Oaks City Zoning Code

SECTION 19

SUPPLEMENTARY DISTRICT REGULATIONS.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, the following regulations shall apply in all zoning districts:
A. 
VISIBILITY AT INTERSECTIONS.
On a corner lot in any district, nothing shall be erected, placed, planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as to materially impede the vision of pedestrians or motorists within or along the visibility triangle formed by measuring 20 feet in each direction along the property lines from the point of corner of the property lines at the street intersection.
B. 
EXCEPTIONS TO HEIGHT REGULATIONS.
The height limitation contained in the individual district development regulations do not apply to spires, belfries, cupolas, antennas, water tanks, ventilators, chimneys or other appurtenances usually required to be placed above the roof level and not intended for human occupancy.
C. 
RESIDENCES ON LOTS OF RECORD.
Nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent the construction and occupancy of a single-family dwelling upon a single-family residentially zoned lot having less area and width than required if such lot was platted and filed of record prior to the adoption of this Ordinance and if all other applicable development regulations are met.
D. 
COMMERCIAL LIVING QUARTERS.
In districts "CF," "C-1," "C-2," "C-3" and "I" where residential use is not a permitted use, living quarters may be provided for resident managers, resident security and maintenance personnel provided that:
1. 
The living quarters are clearly subordinate to the permitted use;
2. 
The living quarters are only occupied by a manager, security guard, maintenance person or other individual employed with full-time duties on the site on which the living quarters are located. This is not intended to preclude the additional occupancy of living quarters by family members of the full-time individual employed on the site;
3. 
The living quarters are incorporated into the design of the permitted use in such a manner that the living quarters are not perceptible as such; and
4. 
Two off-street parking spaces are provided per living quarter in addition to the required parking for the permitted use.
E. 
OUTSIDE SPECIAL EVENTS PERMITTING.
Certain temporary uses of land are essential to the full development and utilization of land and are deemed to promote economic development of the city. Special events are limited to outside special events, including, but not limited to circuses, carnivals, festivals and other fundraising events sponsored by a public entity, civic or nonprofit organization located within the city, contingent upon final permit approval for a specific period of time by the City Secretary taking into consideration the following: event size, noise, location, approved traffic plan from the Police Chief and if applicable, obtaining the required health permits issued by the local public health department.
