A non-conforming structure may be
enlarged by fifty percent (50%) of the original size with the approval
of the Planning and Zoning Commission but in no event shall the enlargement

A. The Planning and Zoning Commission may,
at its discretion and based upon recommendations from the Zoning Administrator,
require any or all of the following special matters in any zone district:
1.
Landscaping. All open areas disturbed
by grading or construction activities at any site, lot, tract or parcel
shall be contoured to provide drainage and, except for areas used
for parking, drives or storage, shall be landscaped with trees, shrubs,
or planted ground cover. Such landscaping shall conform with the planting
plan approved at the time the building permit was issued. It shall
be the owner's responsibility to see that this landscaping is maintained
in an attractive and well-kept condition. All adjacent vacant lots,
tracts or parcels under the same ownership shall also be properly
maintained.
2.
Screening. All principal, accessory
and special uses, except business signs which are situated within
fifty (50) feet of a residential district, shall be screened and buffered
from such district by a separation of open space which shall have
a minimum depth of thirty (30) feet and shall include a required fence
or vegetative screening of not less than ninety percent (90%) opacity
and not less than eight (8) feet above the level of the residential
district property at the district boundary. Walls or fences of lesser
heights of planting screens may be permitted by the Planning and Zoning
Commission if there is a finding that the nature or extent of this
use being screened is such that a lesser degree of screening will
as adequately promote and protect the use and enjoyment of the properties
within the adjacent residential district, or there is a finding that
a screening of the type required by this Chapter would interfere with
the provisions of adequate amounts of light and air to same said properties.
All required screening devices shall be designed so that they are
architecturally harmonious with the principal structures on the site
and they shall be properly maintained so as not to become unsightly,
hazardous or less opaque than when originally constructed.
3.
Storage. The storage of combustible
or flammable materials will be a minimum two hundred (200) feet from
any residential district. All aboveground storage tanks for combustible
or noxious materials shall be diked and shall meet the minimum requirements
of the appropriate Federal or State regulatory agencies.
4.
Soil Erosion And Sedimentation Control
Measures.
a.
In order to curtail soil erosion,
a sedimentation control plan consistent with State and/or Federal
regulations shall be required as part of an application for a building
permit whenever a development proposal will involve clearing, grading,
transporting or other form of land disturbance by the movement of
earth, including the mining of minerals, gravel or sand, provided
that any one (1) of the following descriptions applies to said movement
of land:
(1) Excavation, fill or
any combination thereof will exceed five hundred (500) cubic yards.
(2) Fill will exceed three
(3) feet in vertical depth as measured from the natural ground surface.
(3) Excavation, fill or
any combination thereof will exceed an area of five thousand (5,000)
square feet.
(4) Plant and/or tree cover
is to be removed from an area exceeding five thousand (5,000) square
feet on any parcel of land.
b.
Such erosion or sedimentation control
plan shall set forth the proposed disturbance and shall detail any
protective measures designed to minimize erosion. The City Planning
and Zoning Commission shall review the applicant's proposed sedimentation
control plan and may accept the plan or may require additional specific
measures designed to reasonably curtail the loss of soil from excavated
site.
