Political signs shall not be artificially illuminated.

Any political sign that remains posted for more than 10 calendar days after the political or primary to which it pertains shall be deemed abandoned. If the development services director or designee finds that any political sign has been posted or is being maintained in violation of the provisions of this section, the owner of the sign shall be given written notice to remove said sign. Said notice shall include a brief statement of the reasons for requiring removal. If the person so notified fails to correct the violation or remove the sign within five days after such notice, the development services director or designee may cause such sign to be removed. If the owner of the sign cannot in good faith be located within a reasonable time, the sign shall be deemed abandoned. The development services director or designee may cause such abandoned signs to be removed summarily and without prior notice. The City may recoup reasonable costs associated with the removal of violating or abandoned political signs.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, any sign lawfully in use on the effective date of this Title or any amendment thereto, shall be considered a legal use and as such may continue to operate and exist, provided:

The City Council, Planning Commission or other designated approving authority, may, as a condition of rezoning, development review or conditional use permit, or other development entitlement, require any nonconforming sign on the applicable property to be removed or altered so as to comply with the provisions of this section.

Sign structures which have no message attached to them for more than 90 days shall be considered abandoned signs and as such may be abated by the City. Adequate notice shall be provided to the property owner prior to any removal. For regulatory purposes, any factors indicating abandonment shall not begin occurring until 90 days after the effective date of the ordinance from which this section is derived.

No detached accessory building shall be within five feet of the front half of an adjacent lot. For the purpose of this development standard a depth of not more than 75 feet shall be deemed to be such front half of such adjacent lot.

Where the average slope of the front half of the lot is greater than one foot rise or fall in a seven foot run from the established street elevation at the property line, or where the front half of the lot is more than four feet above or below such established street elevation, a private garage may be built to the street and side lines.

In the case of an interior lot, no detached accessory building shall be erected so as to encroach upon the front half of the lot; provided, however, such detached accessory building need not be more than 75 feet from the street line.

In the case of a corner lot abutting upon more than two streets, no detached accessory building shall be nearer any street line than one-fifth of the width or length of the lot.

In the case of through lots, no detached accessory building shall encroach upon the required front yard on either street.

No detached accessory building shall be closer than 10 feet to the principal building and no closer than 10 feet to any other accessory structure. Eaves or roof overhangs may not extend more than one foot into this 10-foot area from either direction.

The minimum setback from a side property line shall be five feet and the minimum setback from a rear property line shall be 10 feet; provided, however, that where the applicable zone provides for a greater side or rear yard setback, such greater setback shall apply.

Notwithstanding the height limitations of any zone, the height limit on any lot shall be 20 feet.

The total size of a detached accessory structure along with the size of the principal/main dwelling shall not exceed 50% of the lot area.

A detached accessory structure shall not be greater than 1,200 square feet.

The minimum setback from a side property line and from a rear property line shall be 10 feet; provided, however, that where the applicable zone provides for a greater side or rear yard setback, such greater setback shall apply.

Notwithstanding the height limitations of any zone, the height limit on any lot shall be 35 feet.

The total size of a detached accessory structure along with the size of the principal/main dwelling shall not exceed 30% of the lot area.

A detached accessory structure shall not be greater than 2,000 square feet.

The minimum lot size shall be five acres,

No more than one metal shipping container shall be permitted on any parcel,

The setback from all property lines shall be a minimum of 50 feet,

Placement shall be to the rear of the main building on the rear half of the property,

The metal shipping container shall be fully screened by an opaque fence or fast-growing landscaping. Fencing may not be provided by any type of chain link fencing,

The metal shipping container shall be painted a neutral color.

All development shall be located on the more level and unconstrained portions of the site, while steeper and environmentally sensitive areas shall be preserved in a natural state.

The resultant development generally retains the architectural mass, bulk and scale of surrounding/existing development.

The resultant development preserves, as much as feasible, other environmentally sensitive areas or habitat on site.

Those homes can be constructed meeting setback requirements without the need for a subsequent variance. Building areas shall be clearly marked on the development plans reviewed by the Commission.

Such modifications result in design and development which promote the most appropriate use of the land, facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets and utilities, and preserve the natural and scenic qualities of open lands.

Cluster development subdivisions shall be designed to save as much of the natural open space as feasible, but in no case shall the open space be less than 25% of the gross site area.

Conservation open space ownership and control shall be only by one of the following:

Conservation open space does not include public or private streets, driveways, parking areas, channelized drainage ways and disturbed, unvegetated areas.
