Union Township City Zoning Code

§ 30-22.19

Nonresidential Developments.

[Ord. No. 85-9, § 2218]
a. 
Additional width of streets adjacent to areas proposed for nonresidential use may be required as deemed necessary by the Planning Board to assure the free flow of through traffic of vehicles entering or leaving parking areas.
b. 
The access requirements of this chapter shall be met.
c. 
For commercial uses, the developer may be required to provide separate access for service vehicles to loading areas from the vehicular access ways and parking areas intended for patron use. This may be accomplished by using a separate access point for service vehicles to move from the road to the loading area. The applicant may also be required to screen the loading area when deemed necessary by the Planning Board.
d. 
Dead-end streets shall be avoided; but where this proves impossible, they shall be terminated with a paved cul-de-sac turnaround consistent with this chapter.
e. 
Adjacent residential area shall be protected from potential nuisance of the proposed nonresidential developments. Buffer yards shall be provided as prescribed in the zoning regulations herein.
f. 
Streets carrying nonresidential traffic shall not be extended to the boundaries of the adjacent existing or potential residential areas, nor connected to street intended for predominantly residential traffic.
g. 
Parking areas shall be located or designed in such a manner that they are visibly excluded from eye level in any surrounding residential area. Grading to depress the parking area, raised berms, landscaping or fencing are satisfactory methods to create such seclusion.
h. 
All area, design, and parking requirements shall conform to the zoning regulations herein.
i. 
Refuse Collection for Nonresidential Development.
1. 
Outdoor collection stations shall be provided for garbage and trash removal when indoor collection is not provided.
2. 
Collection stations shall be located to avoid being offensive and shall be screened from view and landscaped.
