The purpose of this Section is to provide for the erection of model homes in new subdivisions without adversely affecting the character of surrounding residential neighborhoods or creating a general nuisance. As model homes represent a unique temporary commercial use, special consideration must be given to the peculiar problems associated with them and special standards must be applied to ensure reasonable compatibility with their surrounding environment.

The erection of a model home(s) shall require approval of the City Council.

A.

Temporary parking facilities equal to four spaces per model home dwelling unit shall be provided. The overall design, drainage, and surfacing of the temporary parking facility shall be subject to the approval of the Zoning Administrator.

B.

Access from a temporary parking facility onto a local, residential street shall be discouraged. Where this requirement is physically impractical, access shall be directed away from residential neighborhoods to the greatest extent possible.

C.

No model home shall incorporate outside lighting which creates a nuisance due to glare or intensity, as provided for in Section 916.06 of this Ordinance.

D.

All model home signage shall comply with the sign regulations as contained in Chapter 927 of this Ordinance.

E.

All criteria for conditional use consideration but not procedural requirements as contained in Section 904.02.F of this Ordinance shall be considered and satisfactorily met.
