(LDC 2008, § 15A-19-05; Ord. No. 17-09, 3-9-2017)

(a)

Purpose. The purpose of the Magna/2000 East Specific Development District is to provide for a mixture of uses including retail commercial and various densities of residential uses, in a style and setting which will enhance not only the development of a particular property, but the surrounding neighborhood and community as a whole. Therefore, in order to better bring about this desired enhancement, the SD Magna/2000 District is divided into subdistricts to address each particular use more specifically (See Exhibit "A" of "The Little Cottonwood Project Design and Development Standards"). Additionally, more extensive standards are adopted for the various aspects or elements of development than would generally be required by this title.

(b)

Subdistricts. The following subdistricts are included within the Magna/2000 East Specific Development District.

(1)

SD/CC Planned Center/Community Commercial—9400 S. 2000 E.

(2)

SD/PUD(15) Planned Unit Development (at a base density of 15 Units per Acre)—9800 S. Highland Drive (West side) SD/PUD(6) Planned Unit Development—9800 S. Highland Drive (East side).

(3)

SD/R(4.25) Single-family Residential—Approximately 9700 S. 2100 E.

(4)

SD/R(3.75) Single-family Residential—Approximately 9800 S. 2100 E.

(c)

Review Procedure. Planning Commission review is required according to the standards outlined in for each individual phase or portion of the development, or any major amendment to an adopted site plan.

(d)

Development Standards. The development standards listed below shall apply to the development as a whole. In addition, specific development standards as listed within each subdistrict, as well as "The Little Cottonwood Project Design and Development Standards," as adopted by Sandy City, shall be followed.

(1)

Streetscape Plan. A Streetscape Plan approved by the Planning Commission shall be required before approval of any part of a development bordering an affected arterial or collector street (i.e., 9400 South, 9800 South, and Highland Drive). Such plan shall show improvements for the entire width of each arterial and/or collector street and all transition areas for those portions of the streets which are part of or immediately adjacent to the SD Magna/2000 District. The purpose in showing adjoining areas is not to obligate the developer to off-site improvements, but rather to facilitate the transition from neighboring areas and to set standards for future streetscape improvements to those neighboring areas.

(2)

Grading Plan. In addition to the requirements of Chapter 21-27, the Preliminary Grading Plan for the entire SD District shall be reviewed and accepted by the Planning Commission prior to acceptance of the Final Grading Plan by the City Engineer. Details and standards of grading are as contained in "The Little Cottonwood Project Design and Development Standards."

(3)

Landscape Plan. An approved Landscape Plan for each development or phase of development within a subdistrict shall be required before final site plan approval of that portion of the development. The purpose of the plan shall be to show not only the proposed landscape treatment for the subject development, but the transition from adjoining development. Specific requirements of the Landscape Plan are as contained in "The Little Cottonwood Project Design and Development Standards," as adopted by Sandy City.

(4)

Screening and Buffering. Specifications for required screening and buffering are as contained in "The Little Cottonwood Project Design and Development Standards," as adopted by Sandy City. The colored decorative masonry barrier wall along the western border of the commercial subdistrict, and the colored decorative masonry barrier wall along the western border of the PUD Subdistrict shall each be erected when construction begins in that individual subdistrict. The perimeter landscaping shall be installed as soon as possible after completion of the wall, according to the timetable set forth by the Planning Commission at site plan review.

(5)

Pedestrian Corridors. A prominent feature of the Magna/2000 East SD District is the development of pedestrian corridors to buffer the commercial area from the adjoining uses. Pedestrian corridors shall not be interpreted to include service driveways, roadways, dumpsters, parking, or other uses related to the building. Such corridors shall be developed as follows:

a.

The pedestrian corridor along the western edge of the development, between the commercial and neighboring single-family residential area, shall have a width of at least 50 feet.

b.

The pedestrian corridor along the southern edge of the commercial area shall have a width of at least 30 feet.

b.

Surface Materials. Parking/driving surface alternatives to asphalt or concrete may be considered by the City Engineer and Director if another type of all-weather surface is proposed. All weather surface means a covering for driveways and parking spaces that is dust free and not adversely affected by inclement weather. It shall be surfaced with one of the following: asphalt, concrete, chip seal, gravel (graded and compacted), or other stabilized system. An alternative parking/driving surface must be approved by the Planning Commission after receiving a recommendation by the City Engineer and Director. If alternative surfaces are used, then all storm water must be fully retained on-site (including 100-year storm events). Accessible routes and other requirements for ADA must be met in consideration of alternative surfaces. Any deviations from the standard must be approved by the Planning Commission after receiving a recommendation from the City Engineer and the Chief Building Official.

(7)

Zone District Boundary Screening and Fencing. The Planning Commission shall review any requests for deviations from a standard eight-foot masonry fence along the border of residentially zoned properties. If the Planning Commission finds unique circumstances or lessor impacts than typically anticipated from other commercial uses, they may approve of a smaller wall or may review and approve other methods of screening such as bermed landscaping, open style fencing, or combination of these methods to accomplish screening and buffering of adjacent residential uses.

(8)

Buildings and Structures. All proposed structures for any permanent or temporary use (including any accessory buildings) must be shown on the proposed site plan, including a notation of whether the structure will allow for public access. Structures may be allowed to remain permanently on site if constructed to meet all applicable zoning, fire, and building codes and have obtained site and building permits as permanent structures. Any temporary structures (tents, sanitary facilities, etc.) that will be utilized for temporary uses must also be shown on the approved site plan and meet all applicable zoning, fire, and building codes and permits. Temporary structures must be removed from the site each year after the temporary use period. Any new structures shall adhere to the architectural requirements of the CN(HSN) Zone and the Historic Sandy Master Plan.

Extended Duration. All temporary uses shall be allowed to operate up to a maximum of 240 consecutive days per calendar year. The property owner shall identify a single 240-day temporary use period during the calendar year. No temporary use may commence prior to or terminate after the identified 240-day period.

(2)

Number of Temporary Business. There shall be no limit to the number of temporary uses operating at the same time during the temporary use period provided that the site has sufficient off-street parking to accommodate the uses.

(3)

Farmer's Market. These may occur on a site of at least one acre and may contain any number of individual produce growers, and/or manufacturers.

(4)

Structures. There shall not be a limit to the number of structures used for a temporary use, provided they are shown on the approved site plan and obtain required permits each calendar year.

(LDC 2008, § 15A-19-20)

(a)

Purpose. The SD(PO)(Union Heights) Professional Office Zone is established to provide an area for professional and business offices, service and employment activities, which locations and site improvements are built such that a desirable appearance is projected toward public streets and such that compatibility can be maintained with adjacent land uses. It is intended that development within this zone be a walkable community, that is, that patrons to one location within the development can walk safely and serenely to other areas of the development to minimize unnecessary vehicle use. This is achieved by the clustering of buildings, placement of plazas and other outdoor features, and so on.

(b)

SD(PO)(Union Heights) Zone Subdistricts. The zone also establishes subdistricts within the SD(PO)(Union Heights) Zone which are described hereafter.

(1)

The "Professional Office Subdistrict" (PO) is established as a subdistrict within the SD(PO)(Union Heights) Zone to encourage high-rise office building type development along the Union Park Avenue Corridor. This district extends from the existing gas station development to the north end of the zone, and from the existing gas station development to the west end of the zone.

(2)

The "Convenience Commercial Subdistrict" (CvC) is established as a subdistrict within the SD(PO)(Union Heights) Zone to encourage small scale support commercial uses, such as a gas station, small retail shops, and perhaps a fast food restaurant. This district includes the existing gas station site, beginning at the northwest corner of the intersection of 7720 South and 1300 East approximately 220 feet north along 1300 East, and approximately 220 feet west along 7720 South.

(c)

Uses Allowed.

(1)

Regardless of the size and ownership of individual parcels, a development plan must be submitted showing both existing and reasonable projected development on adjoining properties, determined through consultation with adjoining property owners. The intent of the above is to effectuate the end result of an overall planned development with appropriate cross-easements, consistent site standards, etc., even though properties may be individually owned.

(2)

The matrix below lists all permitted uses within the PO and CvC Subdistricts of the SD(PO)(Union Heights) commercial zone. The letters "P," "C," or "N" shall mean "Permitted," "Conditional," or "Not Permitted," respectively.

*Additional requirements for clubs and restaurants. Any newly constructed club or restaurant shall meet the following requirements:

(1)

Main entrance shall have an unimpeded line of sight from the street or public way.

(2)

Lighting of the building at the entrance.

(3)

Provide parking lot lighting. All lighting shall be shielded and directed downward to avoid light spill beyond the property line.

(d)

Development Standards. The following standards are to be considered as applying specifically to development in the SD(PO)(Union Heights) District, in addition to general standards provided elsewhere in this title:

(1)

Building Height. One building may be erected to a height no greater than 88 feet, as measured from original grade to highest occupied story, including parapets at the building perimeter. Height measurement does not include required mechanical structures, such as an elevator penthouse or HVAC equipment. All other buildings shall be no taller than 45 feet in height as measured from existing grade at the center of the building to the top of perimeter parapet walls, except for theater and retail entrance features, which shall not exceed 56 feet in height measured from the base of such features. A theater tower shall be permitted not to exceed 90 feet in height measured from the base of the tower. Parking structures shall be located at least 100 feet from a residential use and shall be limited to three levels not exceeding 25 feet in height measured from existing grade at the center of the structure. A religious or cultural building/activity is not considered a residential use for the purposes of this SD Zoning District.

(2)

Setback Requirements. All structures, including parking structures, shall be set back at least 30 feet from all residential use property lines, at least 20 feet from all property lines adjoining public streets, and at least ten feet from all other exterior property lines. A religious or cultural building/activity is not considered a residential use for the purposes of this SD Zoning District. The gas station shall be deemed part of the development for the purposes of this section.

(3)

Landscaping. Landscaping guidelines are established to maintain the site qualities that exist in the High Point and Union Park areas and minimize alteration, removal, or degradation of landscaping that currently exists in the area. All front yard landscaping (areas adjacent to a public right-of-way) shall have a minimum depth of 15 feet.

a.

Landscape Plans. No plans for any building, structure or other improvements shall be approved by the Planning Commission unless landscape plans satisfactory to the Planning Commission have been submitted.

b.

Timeline. Landscaping in accordance with the plans submitted must be installed within 30 days following the occupancy of the site or as otherwise approved by the Community Development Department as seasonal conditions may dictate.

c.

Land Areas to be Weed-Free or Landscaped. The land area not occupied by buildings, structures, hard surfacing, vehicular driveways or pedestrian walkways shall be kept in a weed-free condition or landscaped, as approved by the Planning Commission.

Sixty percent medium trees and shrubs in a combination with deciduous trees with a caliper from two to three inches and evergreen trees with a height from five to eight feet.

2.

Forty percent small trees and shrubs in a combination with deciduous trees with a caliper of one and one-half to two inches and evergreen trees with a height of four feet.

3.

Where possible, a 50/50 mix of deciduous and evergreen tree species shall be used for on-site landscaping.

4.

Street trees with a minimum two-inch caliper shall be installed along all public rights-of-way by the developer of the property. The species-type, location, and spacing of trees shall be as shown on the approved Landscape Plan, in compliance with designated streets within the City's Streetscape Plan. Spacing of trees along public rights-of-way may be modified to preserve vistas into the site as approved by the Planning Commission.

g.

Installation. It shall be the responsibility of the developer to grade, place topsoil, seed, sod, install sprinkler irrigation systems, and properly plant trees, shrubs, and other approved plant materials.

h.

Maintenance. It shall be the responsibility of the developer to properly maintain landscaped areas, including watering, mowing, pruning, fertilizing, and the removal and replacement of dead plant materials in a timely manner. Pruning trees for exposure is prohibited.

i.

Vegetation Removal.

1.

Removed vegetation shall be replaced with equal or better quality plant materials. Trees that are necessarily removed shall be replaced with trees with comparable total caliper. Street trees that are necessarily removed shall be replaced with comparable individual caliper in compliance with the City's Streetscape Plan, unless otherwise approved by the Planning Division.

2.

When utility connections or other disturbances are made to existing landscaped areas, the existing landscaping must be replaced to its previous condition. Other modification of landscaped areas shall require approval by the Community Development Director.

(4)

Grading and Drainage.

a.

Drainage from any lot must follow current Sandy City requirements. Drainage shall not be allowed to flow upon adjoining lots unless an easement for such purpose has been granted by the owner of the lot upon which the water flows.

b.

A site plan with grading, drainage, and clearing plans must be approved by the Planning Commission before any such activities may begin. Lot grading shall be kept to a minimum. Where possible, roads and development shall be designed for preservation of natural grade.

(5)

Utilities. All utility lines shall be underground in designated easements. No pipe, conduit, cable, line for water, gas, sewage, drainage, steam, electricity or any other energy or service shall be installed or maintained upon any lot (outside of any building) above the surface of the ground except for hoses, movable pipes used for irrigation or other purpose during construction.

a.

Transformers shall be grouped with other utility meters where possible and screened with vegetation or other appropriate method.

b.

Each contractor and owner/developer shall be responsible to know the whereabouts of all underground utilities. Protection of such utilities shall also be their responsibility.

c.

Prior to construction, contact must be made with "Blue Stakes" to identify underground utility lines.

(6)

Signage.

a.

General Signage. Signing on the office building shall be limited to pan channel wall signs in compliance with Chapter 21-26, with a maximum of four signs per facade on two building facades, with one of the signs being a building identification sign.

b.

Low-profile (monument) signs. Freestanding monument signs may be permitted with the following limitations: The sign shall have as the prominent feature the name of the building (i.e., "Union Heights," etc.). The top two feet of the sign is to be utilized to identify the name of the project. Because of this limitation on sign copy, the overall height of the sign may be increased to eight feet, but if placed upon a landscape berm, may not exceed an overall height of 11 feet above sidewalk grade. The sign shall not be located upon the public right-of-way. It may not extend into the required sign visibility triangle, unless otherwise approved by the City Transportation Engineer. The lettering font style for tenant identification shall be the same for all tenants. The materials for the sign (i.e., the base and decorative elements of the structure) are to be similar to that of the development.

(7)

Architectural Design and Materials. The treatment of building mass, materials and exterior appurtenances shall create an aesthetically pleasing building and site that is in character with the proportions of other surrounding developments. Requirements applicable to all buildings are as follows:

a.

All sides of buildings shall receive equal design consideration, particularly where exposed to vehicular traffic and adjacent properties.

b.

Basic materials shall be limited to no more than four types of materials per building and all buildings within the development shall possess a similar architectural theme. Preferred materials include, but are not necessarily limited to, architecturally treated pre-cast concrete, brick, stone, granite, ceramic tile, architectural metals and non-reflective glass, with limited amounts of stucco only. Ground level finishes shall generally be the more durable materials, such as stone, metals and glass, while the upper floors may utilize stucco. Color, building materials, and architectural design may vary if approved by the Planning Commission as being compatible with surrounding development.

c.

Buildings shall be designed to relate to grade conditions with a minimum of grading and exposed foundation walls.

d.

In general, color of exterior building materials shall be composed of earth tones to encourage buildings to blend into the environment. They shall be limited to no more than four major colors per development. If glass surfaces are to be tinted, such tinted glass shall be considered as one of the colors allowed and shall conform to the color requirements included herein.

e.

Mechanical equipment shall be located or screened so as not to be visible from public and private streets. Screens shall be aesthetically incorporated into the design of the building, whether located on the ground or on the roof. Screen materials shall be compatible with those of the building.

f.

Plans for the exterior modifications to any existing structures must be submitted to the Planning Commission for approval and must meet the same requirements as all other structures within the SD(PO)(Union Heights) Zone.

(8)

Buffers, Fences, and Walls.

a.

The intent in having special buffer, sound-reducing fence, and wall requirements is to provide physical and visual protection between commercial and residential uses.

b.

Landscape buffers are preferred over fences and walls where a separation is desirable. A visually open look should be encouraged between similar uses. Visual screening is often more important than a physical separation and the Planning Commission may, at its own option, require special treatment of such areas.

c.

Buffer treatment may be required whenever a change occurs between residential and nonresidential uses. Additional landscaping and screening may be required at the discretion of the Planning Commission within the setback which separates the uses. Fences or walls will be reviewed for their effectiveness in screening a view, and for their color and texture in relationship to building materials. In all cases, the minimum fencing between commercial uses and adjacent residentially zoned property shall be an opaque, sound-reducing fence, such as masonry block or brick.

d.

The opaque fence shall be a minimum of six feet in height, but not more than eight feet. A lower height fence may be required adjacent to a front property line for sight distance and traffic safety. Walls above six feet shall first be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission during site plan review.

e.

Where differing uses are to be developed adjacent to existing residential areas, special consideration shall be made to protect the privacy of residents and requirements shall be the discretion of the Planning Commission. As a minimum, the negative effects of noise and artificial lighting shall be minimized to protect existing residents.

f.

Service areas shall be properly screened. Outdoor lighting shall be designed to prevent exposure of light source to the view of residents. Facilities that require late night customers and activities shall be directed away from residential areas to reasonably prevent disruption of privacy. Building entrances and exits shall not face adjoining residential properties with no pedestrian circulation allowed within the 30-foot setback area between the residential and commercial uses.

(9)

Parking Areas. A parking structure shall be permitted within the zone. Parking areas shall be considered as structures since they present a three-dimensional appearance when occupied.

a.

Location of parking shall be determined not only from its visual relationship to building and site, but also as it relates to safe convenient pedestrian and vehicular circulation patterns. The placing of building and parking elements on a site shall be evaluated by the Planning Commission on the basis of the following factors:

1.

Type of land use and structure.

2.

Building height and configuration.

3.

Relationship to other buildings, both horizontally and vertically.

4.

Natural land features such as slopes and vegetation.

5.

Physical features such as controlled ingress and egress.

6.

Visibility from vehicular approaches and distant highways.

b.

A minimum of ten feet of landscaped screening consisting of mixed evergreen and deciduous trees shall surround the periphery of paved areas adjacent to buildings or property lines. The number of trees for this area shall be determined by a standard of one tree per every 200 square feet of landscaping required.

(10)

Outdoor Lighting.

a.

All street light fixtures shall be installed to prevent light glare from adversely affecting adjacent properties. Exterior wall-mounted floodlights are expressly prohibited. For parking lot lighting, pole-mounted fixtures are recommended. Lighting of all pedestrian pathways is recommended. Lighting of a building and site identification signs are permitted as allowed by Chapter 21-26.

b.

Lighting will be judged as to how adequately it meets its intended purpose. Design and location of standards and fixtures shall be specified on the site development drawings. Intensities shall be controlled so that neighboring areas will not be adversely affected by glare or excessive direct light.

c.

All public street lights shall be installed as required by the Street Lighting Policy. Decorative pole lights are encouraged in the internal retail village streets where they do not project into adjoining residential areas.

(11)

General Maintenance. An overall maintenance schedule shall be implemented by property owners in maintaining all buildings, landscaping, fences, walls, drives, parking lots (including surfacing and striping), signs, or other structures. The above shall be maintained in good and sufficient repair in a safe and aesthetically pleasing manner. Roads and pavements shall be kept true to line and grade and in good repair. Drainage ditches shall be kept clean and free of any obstacles.

(12)

Walkways, Courtyards, Plazas. Materials for walks, courtyards, and plazas shall be related to the materials of adjacent buildings and shall be a non-skid finish. Untreated areas composed of a mixture of water, cement, gravel, sand, lime and coloring that has been mixed in proper proportions and allowed to set and cure must have an anti-skid design or additional treatment. Design shall encourage comfortable and safe pedestrian use, including landscaping, seating areas, and lighting as appropriate.

The Alta Quadrant Community Council is to be notified by the owner/developer and Sandy City of any pending site plan development at the time of the pre-application conference for full site plan review.

(7)

Developments adjacent to residential districts will have a residential look to be as compatible as possible with existing adjoining residential development. This residential treatment will be of similar building material, landscaping, height and other requirements that might be required by any site plan review process to provide the desired compatibility.

(8)

Prior to zoning being granted, the developer will submit proposed draft layouts of subdivisions for all proposed residential zoning districts to show that the property can be developed residentially. This does not constitute approval of the subdivision by the City which must be obtained by the submission of formal subdivision plats and processing them through the City's subdivision approval process at the appropriate time.

(9)

Lots directly abutting Buttercup Drive may be developed and built first. If only these lots are built upon, they shall not be considered a part of any phasing requiring further improvements to the entire site.

(10)

Improvements.

a.

All streets shall be developed to the City's standards, including width, dedication of curb, gutter and sidewalk.

(v)

Any other streets necessary, and their widths shall be determined by the City's Traffic Engineer.

b.

The developer shall complete improvements, including curb, gutter and sidewalk. Landscaping shall be placed along Buttercup between Peach Blossom and 1300 East. The completion of this street shall take place immediately upon zoning.

c.

All new water hookups, lines and hydrants must comply with Fire and Water Department pressure requirements.

d.

All perimeter work (i.e., landscaping, walkways, common areas and fencing) will be completed prior to any occupancy, excluding the library, which may be occupied prior to all perimeter work being completed.

e.

All public improvements shall be guaranteed for 24 months after installation and acceptance by the City by the posting of a bond acceptable to the City.

f.

All back-facing lots will include curb, gutter and sidewalk, fencing and street landscaping, including irrigation (automatic sprinklers), and these areas will be placed in a Special Improvement District to maintain street landscaping, fencing, etc. Tree caliper will be two inches in size.

g.

The office development will be fully landscaped front, side and rear, with the parking lot dividers (planter area) a minimum of five feet wide to support shrubs, trees and grass. Tree caliper will be two inches in diameter with all shrubs of at least a five-gallon size. All landscaped areas will include automated sprinkler systems with sufficient coverage to supply two inches of water per square inch per week to all landscaped areas.

h.

All perimeter work, landscaping, including automatic sprinkler systems, walkways, common areas and fencing, will be completed prior to any occupancy of that particular phase of the development. A development phase will be defined as any development on a piece of property that has a common zone, boundaries such as a dedicated roadway and/or property lines encircling a piece of the property or as shown as a development phase on the rezoning plat.

i.

The library property developer will be responsible for the finished street treatment (i.e., curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the south side of Buttercup between 1300 East and Petunia, as well as the library frontage on both 1300 East and Petunia.

j.

The following streets will be developed on or before September 30, 1989, according to City standards regarding the road base, cut and fill, asphalt and gravel specifications to the following widths:

1.

Sego Lily: 60 feet;

2.

Petunia: 40 feet.

Others shown on the zoning maps will be developed at the time of the development of that phase and will take place as required by the Sandy City Traffic Engineer. The final development, curb, gutter, sidewalk and street lighting of Sego Lily and Petunia could take place in two phases. At the time of development of any of the residential property north of Sego Lily, the north side of Sego from the existing residential development through to 1300 East and the west side of Petunia from the Library property to Sego Lily will be completed. Should the south side of Sego Lily be developed before the north side, then curb, gutter, sidewalk and street lighting on the south side of Sego Lily will be completed from the existing residential development through to 1300 East. Whenever the office property on the south side of Sego Lily is developed, the curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lighting and street landscaping of Sego Lily west to 1300 East will be completed.

(11)

Access.

a.

In order to provide a very workable development between the library and the office zone to the south, an open flow of traffic will be permitted with two 40-foot openings to be provided between the adjoining parking lots. This open access will allow for a common complex design and sharing of landscaping, screening, common areas and shared parking for both the library and office complex. The open park-like atmosphere will enhance the desirability of the office development by including the library and all landscaping as part of the overall complex.

b.

There shall be no access between the office and vacant commercially zoned property on the southeast corner of this site.

c.

There shall be no access from 1300 East except for Sego Lily Drive and Buttercup Drive. There shall be no left turn permitted from 1300 East onto Buttercup Drive.

d.

There shall be access to the library parking lot from the parking south of the library site.

e.

There will be no access between the professional office zone and the presently vacant commercially zoned property on the southeast corner of this site. However, should the commercially zoned property be rezoned professional office or developed as a Professional Office complex, access between two similarly zoned properties would be permitted. Likewise, if a road were dedicated between Sego Lily and the commercial property to the south, then access could be accomplished by the dedication of this roadway.

f.

Dedicated access in the form of an eight-foot walkway will be provided to the LDS church from the street just west of Countrywood Drive. Dedication of the property and location on zoning plats is all that is expected from the landowner with all improvements and maintenance handled at the time of the residential development by the developer. Walkways will be included in the special improvement district created to take care of the back-facing lot treatment for this residential development.

(12)

Fencing.

a.

All rezoned residential property which abuts existing residentially zoned property will be separated from such property by six-foot wall constructed of cedar or redwood fencing material to provide a treatment that will maintain a consistent wall or fence along the common property line. Where nonresidentially property abuts residential property, there will be a six-foot masonry wall of approved building material of light earth tones.

b.

All back-facing lot fencing will be constructed similar to fencing facing treatment of the Summer Meadows development on the west side of Highland Drive on Newcastle. Fences will be six feet high with brick pillars two feet square and a maximum of 64 feet apart capped with appropriate concrete cap. This fence treatment, curb, gutter, sidewalks, landscaping and sprinkler system will be completed prior to the occupancy of any of the residential property east of Petunia and north of Sego Lily.

(3)

Uses Allowed. All uses shall be regulated as allowed under Section 21-7-2 of the R-1-30A Zoning District, except described in this section and as follows:

a.

Horse Boarding. This use may be permitted as an ancillary use only if the home is owner occupied. The use will not be regulated as a business or a home occupation. This use is not allowed if operated by a commercial entity or property renter. All other kenneling or boarding of any other animal is expressly prohibited.

(4)

Lot and Yard Regulations. See the standards for an R-1-30 Residential District in Section 21-20.

(5)

Farm Animal Area Set Aside. A minimum of 5,000 square feet of usable square footage must be designated and maintained on each lot for the housing and containment of farm animals (the "farm animal area set aside"), regardless of whether or not farm animals are maintained on the lot. This area may consist of stables, hay barns, turnouts, etc., or any other structure that its primary use is related to the keeping of farm animals. Areas that may not be used to satisfy the farm animal area set aside include front yard (area between the front plane of the home and the street); side yard (15 feet from primary dwelling); rear yard (30 feet from primary dwelling); and areas dedicated for other uses (bridle paths, pools, non-animal related accessory structures, etc.). Side and rear yard areas that are 25 feet or greater in width may be used as the farm animal area set aside and must be contiguous areas on the lot. The farm animal area set aside may be used for other purposes when not needed for farm animal housing and confinement but must be easily returnable to an area for housing and containment of farm animals. Structures and other improvements (such as sport courts, patios, parking areas, paved driveways, etc.) that would have to be removed or substantially modified in order to use the area for farm animal housing and containment are not allowed within the farm animal area set aside. The farm animal area set aside may not be used at any time for residential dwellings (see Figure 1).

4.

In no case shall this permit grant more than a maximum of ten large animals, or ten medium animals, or 50 small animals per lot.

5.

Combinations of each size of animal may be kept at these ratios as listed above. For example a 30,000 square foot lot (gross area) with 20,000 square feet of dedicated farm animal area set aside would allow for a combination of five large animals (15,000) and two medium animals (4,000) and five small animals (1,000).
