ARTICLE XIX. SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN 
. . .
35-1902. Site development plan design standards. 
(1) Purpose: These standards shall function to guide development toward the highest attainable 
environmental quality at a time in which development and expansion are taking place at a rapid rate; as 
such development once established provides the living and working environment for hundreds of 
thousands of families over numerous decades and generations.  
. . . 
(4) Site organization: 
(a) Setbacks: 
1. For parking lots:  
a. In proximity to street intersections. See below 2.a.  
b. Along arterial streets, parking lots shall be set back at least twenty (20) feet from right-
of-way lines.  
c. Along nonarterial streets, parking lots shall be set back at least twenty (20) feet from 
right-of-way lines.  
d. Along all other rights-of-way and property lines, unless said property lines are of a 
smaller parcel (pad) within a larger planned development, all parking spaces and access 
drives shall be set back at least ten (10) feet.  
2. For structures or any physical improvement in proximity to street intersections:  
a. Intersections as described below are of value to the entire community. Land situated at 
the corner of such street intersections shall be landscaped, and remain open and free of 
buildings, parking areas, driveways, and walls in excess of two (2) feet six (6) inches in 
height. Ingress and egress drives perpendicular to the street are expected. The dimensions 
of these open areas shall satisfy at a minimum, the following standards:  
 Type of  
Intersections  
Setback From  
Right-of-Way  
Setback Shall Apply  
for a Distance  
From the  
Intersection for  
Arterial street with arterial street  50 feet  
250 feet along both streets  
Arterial street with any other 
street  
50 feet  
100 feet along arterial street  
30 feet  
100 feet along other street  
Collector street with collector 
street  
30 feet  
60 feet along both streets

b. No vehicle or other obstruction exceeding two (2) feet in height shall be parked at an 
intersection of two (2) right-of-way lines within triangular area formed by the right-of-
way lines and the line connecting them between points located thirty (30) feet from the 
intersection of said lines.  
IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE, ENCOURAGE, OR PROMOTE INFILL DEVELOPMENT OR 
REDEVELOPMENT FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN THE INFILL INCENTIVE 
DISTRICT, THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR MAY DEPART FROM LANDSCAPE SETBACKS 
PRESCRIBED HEREIN AFTER HAVING MADE A FINDING IN WRITING THAT SUCH 
DEVIATION, ON BALANCE, WILL RESULT IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND DESIGN QUALITY 
SUPERIOR TO THAT OTHERWISE ATTAINABLE WITHOUT SUCH DEVIATION.  
. . . 
(5) Building design: 
. . . 
(c) Mechanical equipment screening: All mechanical equipment and appurtenances shall be 
concealed and/or screened from view in their entirety as an integral part of the building in one (1) of 
the following manners, and subject to approval by the Zoning Administrator:  
1. Parapets are acceptable for screening, provided the height shall be equal to, or higher than, 
the highest point on the mechanical equipment; or  
2. Screening of mechanical equipment shall be constructed of similar materials and painted 
colors similar to the building, and so arranged that the screening is perceived to be an integral 
part of the building mass.  
All mechanical equipment and appurtenances shall be indicated and shown on building sections 
and elevations indicating dimensions of equipment and screening.  
THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR MAY REDUCE OR WAIVE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS 
FOR ROOF-MOUNTED EQUIPMENT IF: 
i. THE BUILDING IS A MID-RISE DEVELOPMENT AND ROOF-MOUNTED EQUIPMENT 
WILL NOT BE VISIBLE FROM ANY ADJACENT PROPERTY AS SEEN FROM A POINT 
SIX (6) FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL AT THE PROPERTY LINE OR SIDEWALK ON 
THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET; OR  
ii. THE BUILDING IS LOCATED WITHIN AN INDUSTRIAL CENTER OR BUSINESS PARK 
AND ROOF-MOUNTED EQUIPMENT WILL NOT BE VISIBLE FROM ANY ARTERIAL 
STREET OR RESIDENTIALPROPERTY.  
ALL MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT SHALL BE SCREENED FROM VIEW IN THEIR 
ENTIRETY AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE BUILDING AS REQUIRED IN SECTION 5.C 
WHEN THE SUBJECT BUILDING IS ABUTTING A RESIDENTIAL ZONED PROPERTY 
REGARDLESS OF LOCATION OR BUILDING HEIGHT. 
(d) Metal buildings: 
1. Metal buildings will not be allowed on roads designated by the General Plan as arterial roads 
except that:  
a. A portion of a building may be constructed using an exterior metal finish where said 
portion is DETERMINED TO ENHANCE THE DESIGN QUALITY OF THE 
BUILDING ARCHITECTURE AND IS NOT THE PRIMARY BUILDING MATERIAL 
not visible from the arterial road upon which the building fronts.  
B. SHIPPING CONTAINERS MAY BE USED AS A BUILDING MATERIAL IF THE 
BUILDING IS DESIGNED WITH ADDITIONAL MATERIALS AND

FENESTRATION TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF THE ARCHITECTURE THAT 
TOGETHER PROVIDE A CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE ARCHITECTURAL 
DESIGN. THE CHARACTER, SCALE, AND MASSING OF SAID DESIGN SHALL 
BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE BUILDINGS OF THE SURROUNDING AREA.  
2. Metal buildings may be allowed within industrial parks and at other locations not visible 
from an arterial street upon the Planning and Zoning Commission finding that the facade of the 
building is architecturally treated so as to assure mitigation of the starkness of metal 
construction and environmental compatibility with the surroundings.  
(8) Additional requirements for shopping centers, office and commercial complexes: 
. . . 
(c) Independent building PAD Pad sites: For the purpose of this section, commercial PAD pad sites 
are uses that stand apart from, and hence not perceivable as, part of the main building complex. PAD 
pad sites may be developed as single freestanding uses, such as a restaurant or bank, or a cluster of 
uses sharing common architectural detail and materials, open spaces, and shaded areas and pedestrian 
connections. The number of PAD pad sites permissible in a shopping center shall be limited to one 
(1) per arterial street frontage, with corner PAD pad sites to count as one (1) of the frontage
