It is the intent of this chapter to assure that, in conjunction
with new developments, certain areas and types of equipment are screened
from public view. The provisions of this chapter are hereby deemed
necessary for the protection of property values and the general welfare.
(08-05)
A trash receptacle enclosure shall be provided with all new
developments except for single-family residential developments. Where
City trash receptacles are to be used, such enclosure shall be built
to City specifications as filed with the Director of Community Services,
and shall be a size capable of holding the number of trash receptacles
required to adequately serve the development, as estimated by the
Director of Community Services.
(14-07)
In new developments, all mechanical equipment, such as air conditioners,
heaters, and exposed ducting and plumbing, and all outside storage
areas and loading docks, shall be screened from view of public areas.
The design of proposed screening devices shall be approved by the
Director of Community Development. For any addition to an existing
building which adds at least 25 percent to the building's gross floor
area, all existing storage areas and loading docks shall be so screened.
Additions to single-family residential buildings are exempted. Such
screening shall be accomplished prior to issuance of a certificate
of occupancy for any building or addition. The Director may approve
an alternative method of reducing the visual impact in lieu of providing
screening. In all multiple-family developments (two or more units)
and multiple-family structures in residential unit developments, no
unconcealed television antennae shall be allowed.
