Storage units (except on any property or development adjacent to or having access to 12600 South east of the Bangerter Highway).

Auto dealership (new or used) only on property (or combination of properties) of at least one acre having frontage on 12600 South and/or the Bangerter Highway. Such use must be on a finished commercial site accompanied by approval of a Commercial Site Plan, and include permanent and compliant office/sales building(s). No auto dealership use within the C-G zone shall be allowed within 1.5 miles of another, measured in a direct line. Auto dealership uses in the C-G zone may not be combined with “auto repair and related services...” without Conditional Use permit approval, but auto dealerships may have service bays for work related to vehicles being sold on the property.

Adjacent to Public Streets. All buildings adjacent to public streets shall be set back a minimum of 30 feet from back of curb. A minimum side and rear setback of 10 feet from back of sidewalk may be allowed where the structure(s) are being incorporated in perimeter fencing or enclosure of some or all of the site.

Side Yard Setbacks.

Rear Yard Setbacks. Where adjacent to residential zones, the minimum rear yard setback shall be one foot for every one foot in building height. However, there shall be a minimum setback of 20 feet, unless an access lane is planned; in which case, a minimum of 22 feet is required.

Zero lot lines, or structures constructed with no setback from the property lines, may be allowed for storage unit facilities where the structure(s) are being incorporated in perimeter fencing or enclosure of some or all of the site. A conditional use permit in conjunction with site plan approval is required for zero lot line development. Where adjacent to residential zones, criteria for consideration may include the proposed building height at property line and control of runoff and drainage.

Setbacks shall be measured to the foundation.

Building Pad Coverage. Commercial lots in the C-G zone shall have a maximum coverage of 35 percent within property boundaries. Storage units shall be permitted a maximum coverage of 60 percent within the property boundaries.

Open Space. Each commercial site in the C-G zone shall contain a minimum of 20 percent landscaped open space. Storage units may contain a minimum of 20 percent landscape in the front office area.

Four-Sided Architecture. All sides of a building that are open to public view (including views from adjacent residential dwellings or potential location of residential dwellings) shall receive consistent architectural design consideration.

Building Height. Buildings shall not exceed 35 feet in height. Where a zero lot line is utilized per RCC § 18.70.040(4), building height adjacent to the property line shall not exceed one story. Height is measured from the primary finished floor to the highest point of any roof peak, parapet wall or to the top of any architectural feature. Rooftop mechanical equipment, screens, safety railings, and other mechanical elements are not included in building height.

Bulk. Commercial buildings shall be designed with architectural wall variations at least every 30 feet in linear width. A horizontal architectural variation may include the following:

Roofline. Commercial buildings shall be designed with vertical height variations of the roofline at least every 50 feet. A vertical height variation of the roofline may include the following:

Exterior Building Materials and Colors.

Prohibited Materials.

Cohesion/Consistency.

Mechanical Equipment.

Site Development.

Minimum Lot Size. Development within the C-G zone shall not be less than one-half acre in size, unless it is a pad site included as part of a larger development. Each parcel shall also be of sufficient size to assure compliance with the city's off-street parking, landscaping, and site plan requirements.

The city may deny a commercial use on property where insufficient lot size or lot shape is such that it creates illogical traffic circulation, or is not conducive to the intent of this title. The city will encourage the consolidation of lots for commercial uses with odd-shaped and insufficient-sized lots.

Streetscape. The public right-of-way, which includes the back of curb, park strip, and sidewalk, shall be designed with a straight sidewalk in the C-G zone. Within the park strip, one-and-one-half-inch caliper trees shall be planted every 25 feet on center according to the streetscape master plan. Behind the sidewalk, the landscaping plan is encouraged to include berms that rise one foot over every three feet in width.

Buffering Between Noncompatible Land Uses. Between noncompatible land uses, a minimum of a six-foot solid masonry wall and seven feet of landscaping shall be installed. Businesses with rear loading docks shall have an eight-foot masonry wall plus 10 feet of landscaping. Special considerations may be made when the rear yard is adjacent to compatible or future commercial holding zones. The landscaped strip shall include a combination of trees and shrubs that, along with the fence, shall maintain proper screening from adjacent residential uses. Unless otherwise specified by the city council as part of site plan approval, no land disturbance or construction not associated with placement and installation of fencing shall be allowed prior to installation of fencing required by ordinance or by action of the city council.

Dumpster Enclosures and Outdoor Storage Areas. Any garbage dumpster, garbage can, or recycling bin shall be enclosed by a solid wall or fence constructed with durable materials that are designed consistent with the building as approved by the land use authority. The enclosure must surround all four sides and be accessed by a gate. The enclosure wall and gate shall be a minimum of 12 inches higher than the trash receptacle bin. These areas shall be oriented away from public view and shall be well maintained. Where a garbage dumpster is used, the enclosure shall be a solid masonry wall and the gate shall be painted or powder coated metal. The land use authority may approve an enclosure with a solid wood or solid vinyl fence and gate for an enclosure that is exclusively for residential style garbage cans or recycle bins that will be rolled to the street for pick up.

Arrangement. Parking shall be arranged for convenient access, secured visibility, but also contained by buildings and landscaping. Parking and building arrangements shall avoid a strip mall design. The site plan may be required to group parking lots into courts in order to break up the expanse of parking, thus encouraging parking to be located to the rear and side of the buildings.

Pedestrian Access. Parking lots containing more than 150 spaces must install safe, unobstructed pedestrian paths leading to the store frontage.

Shade. Parking lots shall have a minimum shade canopy of 20 percent at point of mature tree growth. Planters for trees shall be a minimum of five feet by five feet. Planter areas may be counted toward the required open space.

Landscaping. Landscaping medians and borders shall be used to direct circulation flow.

Building Protection. Parked cars shall not block a store front and store access. A minimum of 10 feet shall be required to separate any exterior building wall from parking areas.
