on any roof, ground or building shall be screened from public view
with walls of brick, wood or other similar architectural material,

All industrial operations shall be conducted within a fully enclosed
building.
b.
All storage of materials and equipment shall be within a fully enclosed
building or in a side or rear yard so screened by berms, dense vegetative
plantings, wood fences or brick walls or combinations of these materials
at least eight (8) feet in height so that said materials and equipment
are not visible at eye level within one thousand (1,000) feet of the
property line.
c.
Accessory buildings, modules and/or other structures or containers
used for storage or other allowed accessory use must be fabricated
from similar materials and present the same general outside appearance
as the primary structure.
d.
No storage or use of any hazardous materials is allowed unless used
in conjunction and as a necessary component of one (1) of the permitted
or conditional uses. All such hazardous materials shall be registered
with the appropriate fire protection district.
e.
Any and all landscaping required by this Section shall be installed
in accordance with the approved Site Plan and maintained in accordance.
11.
Architectural standards.
a.
No exterior walls (including real wall) or roof shall be permitted
with exposed galvanized steel sheeting. Metal clad buildings are prohibited.
b.
Material for the buildings shall include masonry, brick, stucco and
selected forms of aggregate. Colors should be earth tones to blend
with the environment.
c.
The architectural character of each proposed building or structure
shall be contemporary in style. Architecture will be evaluated in
terms of integration of form, texture and color with the particular
landscape and topographical character of each site and adjacent sites.
d.
No building or structure should exceed fifty (50) feet or three (3)
stories in height, whichever is less. The City's Board may allow additional
height to a maximum of six (6) stories where it is determined that
additional height will not adversely impact the surrounding land uses.
e.
Major systems requiring large components (e.g., air-conditioning,
storage tanks, etc.) should be located in mechanical rooms within
the buildings. As an alternative, including those required to meet
the mandated health and safety standards, might include an exterior
location at or depressed below ground level as necessary to limit
heights to a maximum of eight (8) feet above grade with decorative
screening on all sides or be fully recessed into roof wells with allowance
for future equipment.
f.
Vertical roof projections such as vents, stacks or roof-mounted equipment
must be integrated and screened in a manner that compliments the architectural
form of the building. The particular concern of the City is the complete
concealment from visual impact from on- or off-site storage tanks,
HVAC and/or the mechanical equipment, duct work, cooling towers, generators,
transformers, all but small flues and vents, temporary buildings and
any other non-architectural appurtenances.
g.
Mechanical equipment and auxiliary buildings, if otherwise acceptable,
should not be located within the building setback lines. Proper spacing
for landscaping is important. Auxiliary building design shall be correlated
with design of the main buildings. Metal prefabricated or similar
"stock" structures are not acceptable. Portable containers may be
considered on a temporary basis only.
12.
Landscape standards.
a.
Except as modified below, all buildings, structures, equipment, storage
facilities, fences and paved vehicular areas, excluding entry drives
facing existing and proposed streets, roads and highways, shall be
a minimum of thirty (30) feet from the street, road or highway right-of-way.
The area within this setback shall be designated as a landscape area
and kept free of any improvements other than trees, shrubs, lawns
and other landscaping, except that pedestrian walkways and drives
shall be allowed. If the building is more than thirty (30) feet from
the right-of-way, written permission may be requested from the City's
Board of Adjustment to park automobiles between the building and the
right-of-way. The intent of this provision is to allow the Board of
Adjustment to grant, at their discretion, a credit for additional
distance of buildings from the right-of-way to permit automobile parking
so long as a total area of thirty (30) feet times the frontage of
the lot is devoted exclusively to lawns, landscaping and pedestrian
walkways. If permission is granted by the Board of Adjustment for
parking of automobiles between the building and the right-of-way,
such parking areas shall be, in the opinion of the Board of Adjustment,
adequately screened from view from the street, road or highway with
masonry walls, earth berms, plant material or any combination thereof
b.
All side and rear yards shall maintain a minimum of a fifteen (15)
foot landscape strip adjacent to the property line. A minimum of one
(1) tree and ten (10) shrubs per thirty (30) linear feet of distance
for each boundary line shall be required.
c.
All unpaved ground will be landscaped in a manner that is complimentary
to the architecture, so as to provide the required screening and form
an attractive transition to the natural landscape features of the
site. Landscaping will consist of an effective combination of street
trees, grass, ground cover and shrubbery. Informal massing of evergreen
trees and deciduous trees and shrubs will screen parking.
d.
Landscape elements shall relate to the architectural design elements.
e.
Landscape requirements shall not interfere with line of sight requirements
at street or driveway intersections.
f.
The City desires to preserve the intrinsic environmental values and
continuity of existing natural native tree coverage where possible.
Disturbance of existing vegetation during construction should be limited
to the immediate construction area.
g.
Contouring, berms, channels and swales should be an integral part
of the landscaping, grading and paving design.
h.
