Chimneys, flagpoles, satellite receiving dishes, and other similar items with a width, depth, or diameter of five feet or less may rise 10 feet above the height limit, or five feet above the highest point of the roof, whichever is greater. If they are greater than five feet in width, depth, or diameter, they are subject to the height limit.

(Ord. 23-248, 2023; LUO § 02-28-009)

§ 17.135.110 Landscaping requirements.

The developer shall provide a plat design of the meaningful landscape and its maintenance. The components, layout, arrangement, and size shall be approved by the planning commission.

Meaningful landscaping is grass, trees, shrubs, xeriscape, etc., in an appealing layout and size arrangement approved by the planning commission. Landscaping shall be maintained by the property owner. The minimum area requirements for landscaping are as follows:

A minimum 15-foot landscaping strip measured from back of sidewalk, along the frontage, excluding access driveways; or

A minimum of five percent of the total lot area landscaped near the frontage. In no case shall the development be required to exceed five percent landscape of the parcel. This does not prevent the developer, at their discretion, from proposing a larger landscaped area.

Exception. When adjacent to a residential zone or adjacent to a single-family dwelling, other landscaping conditions may be imposed to protect the aesthetics of the residential neighborhood.

At intersections of streets, driveways, sidewalks, etc., landscaping shall be limited to a height of not more than four feet above the street level, within the area required for minimum sight distance.

Driveway from the city road shall be asphalt or concrete, or when approved by the planning commission, an alternate hard surface may be used to prevent tracking mud from business property to the city street.

A bond or other financial guarantee shall be required, guaranteeing landscaping and other improvements, at the land use administrator's discretion.

Purpose and Intent. The landscape guidelines are intended to establish criteria necessary for the development, preservation and enhancement of open space in Naples. A well designed and maintained landscape will enrich buildings and create a unified and visually pleasing character for the entire community.

(8)

Concept. The landscape concept for Naples City derives its character from the rural Utah landscape. This landscape possesses a rustic quality that blends with the agricultural tradition.

(9)

Conserving Resources. In addition to utilizing agricultural elements, the landscape concept incorporates several ideas that are essential to its long term viability. First, landscape development will be efficient: resources will be concentrated to areas receiving the most intense human use such as parks and recreation facilities. Second, the landscape will be designed with the objective of reducing water requirements. Third, the landscape will be designed to minimize maintenance requirements. This will be achieved by limiting areas of irrigated turf and restricting use of high maintenance elements such as clipped hedges, etc.

(10)

Design Professionals. Design and documentation of all site layout and landscape architecture shall be by a licensed design professional.

(11)

General Requirements.

Landscaping in accordance with the approved plan shall be installed prior to obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the building except where seasonal limitations exist, in which case the landscaping must be installed within 60 days from the time planting operations can be undertaken. Erosion control must be undertaken when seasonal conditions do not permit immediate planting.

All planting shall be per the plant material list, as listed on the approved site plan.

The street concept shall be designed to provide continuity throughout the development. Each developer is required to provide street trees and ground plane landscaping as per the approved landscape plan.

All areas not paved or built upon must be landscaped and, where necessary, irrigated. Large areas of gravel or mulch are prohibited. Use of water-conserving trees, shrubs, and ground covers is required.

Areas to be developed in a further phase need not be landscaped or irrigated. They do, however, require a minimum application of a drought-tolerant seed mix that must be established and properly maintained to prevent erosion. Weed control and periodic mowing of these areas is required.

All public rights-of-way must be landscaped and irrigated within one year of the final plat approval, whether or not development has begun.

The landscape irrigation system must be below ground and fully automatic. Use of a drip irrigation for trees and shrubs is encouraged. All back flow devices must be either underground or screened from view. Overspray onto hard capped areas should be minimized.

Each owner shall regularly maintain all segments of their property, keeping them in a neat and orderly condition, including the replacements of dead and unhealthy plant materials.

All landscape design must be approved by the planning commission.

All landscaping will be bonded or cash held in escrow until completed.

Trees may not be planted within the road right-of way.

(12)

Landscape Criteria for Development Edges. Edge zones have been identified at Naples City: buffers between land uses and at development edges; and Naples City and U.S. 40. A graduated transition between nonirrigated and irrigated landscapes is necessary for these areas.

Landscape Buffers Between Land Uses and at Development Edges. Perimeter buffers consisting of berms and plant groupings shall be used to provide a soft edge between different uses. A minimum 25-foot landscape buffer shall be provided around the perimeter of development enclave. This transition should be smooth and continuous. Retaining walls shall only be used in buffer situations if the grade is too steep for any other solution.

U.S. 40. The parkway plants should reflect the native hillsides. Gentle earth mounding and native plant materials should be incorporated for transitioning and screening. Approved trees shall be planted in loose groves to preserve views.

(13)

Landscape Elements.

Key Intersections. Treatment at key intersections and entry points shall include accent paving, bollards, signage, low walls, and ornamental/accent planting. Accent paving is also recommended to highlight pedestrian crossings across the road.

Landscape Transitions. Planting materials, grading, land forms, and landscape features shall be used to provide smooth transitions between landscape types. These transitions should be used to reinforce the soft edge of property lines. Site design of grading, land forms, walks, walls, fences, paths, roads and irrigation systems should establish and maintain these transitions.

Service and Utility Areas. The use of low walls, berms, and hedges is suggested to aid in screening loading docks and service areas. See NCC § 17.135.130, Site planning guidelines.

(14)

Plant Material List. See Chapter 17.175 NCC, Street Trees, for approved list of plant species.

(Ord. 23-248, 2023; LUO § 02-28-010)

§ 17.135.120 Submittal process.

Conflict With Other Regulations. All development within Naples City planning area shall comply with laws of the state of Utah and the United States federal government and be compatible with the intent of the codes and regulations of the city of Naples. To the extent that Naples City commercial and industrial design guidelines conflict with design guidelines that may be required by Naples City, then the commercial and industrial design guidelines shall prevail.

Waivers. The developer shall have the right to waive, at its sole discretion, any provisions of Naples City design guidelines as may be applied to any specific development plan, except for any provision that is mandated. The city and the developer will need to mutually agree to waive a mandated guideline/provision. No such waiver shall be construed or held to be a waiver of any other provisions of Naples City design guidelines, or of the same provisions as to any other party.

Amendments and Supplements. Naples City may, from time to time with written notice to all owners of real property of Naples City, amend or supplement the design guidelines, at its sole discretion. Any such amendments shall be applicable to all development plans which are subsequently mutually approved by the developer and the city.

Approvals. Unless otherwise explicitly provided herein to the contrary, all approvals required under Naples City land use ordinance shall be in writing and may be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the city council. Any approval pursuant to these design guidelines does not constitute a warranty, assurance or representation by the planning commission and the approving party should have no responsibility by virtue of such approval.

Prior to the issuance of a building permit for new construction, a site plan that has been prepared by a licensed design professional must be submitted to Naples City, which shall review it for compliance with the requirements and standards of the city. Upon approval of the site plan from the land use administrator and city council, the building official may then process the building permit application and issue the building permit.

Design Review Committee Requirements.

Design Review Committee. The design review committee is established to assure current and future owners that the adopted covenants, conditions and restrictions are being enforced and that the overall design theme will be adhered to by future development and the planning commission which has been established. The design review committee shall consist of the land use administrator, planning assistant, building official and a member of the planning commission, and others as invited by the land use administrator.

The planning commission is responsible for reviewing plans for all development, including construction of any type, landscaping, lighting, signage, deed restrictions, which are reviewed by the planning commission to determine their compliance with the covenants and this chapter.

Design Review Procedure. All plans for construction must be submitted to the planning commission for approval. For a typical building project, three copies (one copy for owner, one copy for planning commission, one copy for building official) and a .pdf copy of the required information must be submitted to the land use administration office.

Prior to the submittal, the applicant should arrange to obtain a copy of any available engineering, grading, utility, street and drainage plans.

Application Fee. The applicant shall pay nonrefundable fees, as required by and listed in the Naples City consolidated fee schedule for each step of the development process.

Submittal Process. There is a three-step submittal and approval process for site plans. These are:

The following subsections describe the process for each step and the information required.

Concept Plan Approval and Conference. Prior to submitting a preliminary plat, an applicant shall submit an initial written concept plan to the land use administrator, including a sketch plan of the proposed development in which the proposed development is sufficiently described to enable the land use administrator to determine whether the proposed development complies with the city's land use ordinances, capital growth and general plans, street plans and services. Prior to the request for approval, an informal conference is held between the developer and the land use administrator; the land use administrator may invite the design review committee to assist in the conference. This conference will serve to acquaint the applicant with the overall context of Naples City as well as covenants and design guidelines. The land use administrator shall advise the applicant of possible problems with the proposed development within 30 days after it has received the initial application, including sketch plans. Approval of the concept plan shall not constitute approval of the preliminary plan. This section is mandatory, and an applicant may not submit a preliminary plat plan in lieu of the concept plan. If disapproved, the land use administrator shall express their reasons in writing to the applicant.

Construction access shall be coordinated with and approved by the city building official. Special care shall be taken to protect existing curbs and pavements from damage and removal of site soil tracked onto streets.

At the end of the construction period, by phase, the applicant shall submit to the city building official reproducible copies of record drawings (as built) showing the actual locations of all underground utilities and irrigation systems.

(9)

Modifications. If it becomes impossible or impractical to complete construction of a structure or a multiple structure project substantially in accordance with design consistency determinations obtained pursuant to the design review process, the owner of such structure or project shall notify the land use administrator of such impossibility or impracticality and shall submit to the land use administrator an alternative design that is as close as reasonably possible to the consistent or approved design. The planning commission shall refer such proposed alternative design to the city within 30 days. The city shall treat such referral as a new application.

§ 17.135.130 Site planning guidelines.

Site Planning Requirements. This section delineates requirements for parking, service, loading, special equipment, utilities, communication devices, and fencing and screening for mixed use village cores, commercial village cores, and the business park.

Parking Requirements. Parking areas should provide safe, convenient, and efficient access. They should be distributed to reduce overall scale of paved surface and to shorten walking distances between cars and buildings. No more than 50 percent of the off-street parking area for the lot, tract, or area of land devoted to the large retail establishment shall be located between the front facade of the building and the abutting streets.

The parking lot and cars should not be dominant visual elements of the site. Large expansive paved areas located between the street and the building shall be avoided in favor of smaller multiple lots separated by landscaping and buildings.

Divide lots with planted buffers to create a series of smaller lots (maximum 200 cars).

Parking areas, drive aisles and lots adjacent to and visible from public streets shall be adequately screened from view by using rolling earth berms and landscaping. Water-conserving profiles are encouraged in the design of landscape berms. Low decorative screen walls, changes in elevation, landscaping, or combinations thereof should be used wherever possible.

The business park site should be a self-contained development capable of accommodating its own parking needs. The use of public streets for parking and staging of trucks shall not be allowed.

For security purposes, all parking spaces should be visible from the interior of the structures, especially entrances.

The layout of parking lots should work with the existing site grading. The use of terraced or stepped parking platforms is encouraged to break down apparent size of parking areas.

Minimize walking distance from furthest parking space to a building.

Locate vanpool and carpool spaces close to buildings to encourage their use.

Standard minimum parking space dimensions shall be 10'0" by 20'0" for full size cars and 8'0" by 16'0" for compact cars.

Minimum drive aisle width shall be 23'0".

Handicapped parking required per ADA standards.

Parking is not permitted in landscape areas.

Parking lots shall have landscaped islands provided at maximum intervals of 23 spaces at retail uses and 15 spaces at office uses and at the end of all parking rows. These islands shall be a minimum width of six feet. A continuous poured-in-place concrete curb shall be provided around landscape islands.

(n)

The use of parking bumpers in surface lots is prohibited.

(o)

A continuous poured in place concrete curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and access areas. Curb may be used as a wheel stop with a maximum five-foot overhang.

(p)

Roadways and primary drive lanes within parking lots shall be oriented so as to create an axis which terminates in either a building element, landscape element, or view corridor whenever possible.

(q)

Human services facilities (day care centers, schools, libraries, etc.) that regularly have more than 20 clients on site and are located on an arterial, major collector, or parkway shall be served by a minimum of one passenger loading area.

Service, Loading, and Special Equipment Areas. To minimize visual and noise impacts on adjacent uses, loading areas, storage areas, HVAC units, garbage receptacles, etc., shall be screened, recessed, or enclosed. Appropriate locations for loading and outdoor storage include areas between buildings, where more than one building is located on a site and such buildings are not more than 40 feet apart, or on those sides of buildings that do not have customer entrances.

Service and delivery activities shall be separated from primary public access and screened from public view either by being located underground or internal to structures, or by providing walls, fences, and/or landscaping of sufficient height and density. Roofs shall be required if the area is overlooked by residential uses.

Service, storage, and maintenance areas shall be constructed and maintained according to the following criteria:

No materials, supplies, or equipment, including trucks or other motor vehicles, shall be stored on site except inside a closed building or behind architectural screening, to prevent visibility from neighboring properties and streets.

All storage areas shall be located on the side or rear portions of buildings.

No service, storage, maintenance, or loading area shall extend into a setback area.

Loading areas shall be entirely on site. Off-site vehicle loading shall not be permitted.

All service and loading areas shall be positioned so service vehicles will not disrupt traffic flow to or from the site.

Commercial and industrial buildings shall have one off-street freight loading area for each 10,000 square feet of gross floor and/or outdoor storage area.

Loading areas should not be visible from street frontages. Loading docks shall be located on the interior side or rear yards (where the rear of a building does not face a public street) and concealed from public view.

Refuse collection areas shall be screened with solid perimeter walls using materials and colors compatible with those of the adjacent buildings.

Areas for outdoor storage, truck parking, trash collection or compaction, loading, or other such uses shall not be visible from abutting streets.

No area for outdoor storage, trash collection or compaction, loading, or other such uses shall be located within 20 feet of any public street, public sidewalk, or internal pedestrian way.

Delivery and loading operations should not disturb adjoining neighborhoods or other uses. No delivery, loading, trash removal or compaction, or other operations shall be permitted between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. within the mixed use village cores unless the applicant submits evidence that sound barriers between all areas for such operations effectively reduce noise emissions to a level of 45 dB, as measured at the lot line of any adjoining property.

Loading docks, truck parking, outdoor storage, utility meters, HVAC equipment, trash collection, trash compaction, and other service functions shall be incorporated into the overall design of the building and the landscape so that the visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are fully contained and out of view from adjacent properties and public streets.

Nonenclosed areas for the storage and sale of seasonal inventory shall be permanently defined and screened with walls and/or fences.

Vehicles shall be stored in designated areas only. If vehicles are to be stored more than 48 hours, they shall be stored in an area screened from adjacent properties, parking areas, public roadways, and pedestrian areas.

Utilities and Communication Devices.

Utility equipment and communication devices located on the ground shall be screened so that the site will appear free of all such devices. Utility lines for water, gas, sewage, electrical, and communication shall be installed underground.

All permanent utilities shall be underground; above ground utility access points shall be screened from public view and permitted by conditional use permit.

Minimize visual and audio impact of utilities, transmission dishes and related services.

Transmission dishes and antennas are not permitted on roofs of buildings unless adequately screened. Where located on the ground, screen these devices with landscaping and screen walls constructed of the same materials as the building.

Overhead wiring and telephone lines are permitted during construction only.

Provide utility easements where required.

Transformers and utility meters shall be grouped where possible. Where street cuts are made for utilities, cutting, backfilling and paving shall be repaired in accordance with Naples standards and specifications.

Utilities shall be grouped and screened with materials consistent with the architecture of the building and at a height acceptable to the design review committee.

Screening.

No fence or screen of any kind shall be constructed unless specifically approved by the planning commission.

Where screening is required, a combination of elements should be used, including solid decorative masonry walls, berms, landscaping, vinyl, wood, and/or chain link fencing with full fitted privacy slats. Chain link fencing is allowed in the rear of the building.

Chain link fencing of any type is prohibited except as provided in subsection (5)(b) of this section.

Any mechanical equipment, whether on the roof, side of building, or ground, shall be screened. The method of screening shall be architecturally integrated in terms of materials, color, shape, and size.

Screen fences or walls shall be built at a height at least 12 inches higher than that of the materials or equipment being stored.

Walls.

Decorative walls shall be used to screen automobiles, loading areas, utility structures, and automobile headlights from neighboring residential areas. Decorative walls shall be kept as low as possible while performing their screening and security functions.

Where walls are used at property frontages, or screen walls are used to conceal storage and equipment areas, they should be designed to blend with the site's architecture. Landscaping should be used in combination with such walls wherever possible.

§ 17.135.140 Site grading and drainage guidelines.

Long expanses of wall surfaces should be offset and architecturally designed to prevent monotony. Landscape pockets should be provided.

(Ord. 23-248, 2023; LUO § 02-28-018)

Preface. Each site within Naples City represents a specific set of conditions that should influence the grading design applied. A grading concept that would be ideal for one site might be totally inappropriate for another. Most of the design concepts are based on the creation of more natural appearing landforms.

Guidelines. Excessive grading should not be necessary in Naples City and is not desirable. Grading should produce graceful contours, not sharp angles, and should respect the natural land forms. Contoured swales and berms will soften the impact of structures on each lot. Varying the degree of long slopes will avoid the unnatural look of broad flat surfaces. The following are general grading guidelines:

Grading practices shall respect the natural features of the development by avoiding prominent ridgelines, and contouring in harmony with existing landforms.

All manufactured slopes shall be rounded to conform with the existing topography.

Grading shall be minimized and buildings and roadways are to conform to and "blend" with landforms.

Variation and undulation of slopes to retain the natural character of Naples City shall be encouraged.

All graded slopes shall be planted with a combination of native grasses, ground covers, shrubs, and trees to insure slope stability, reduce erosion potential and improve visual quality. Plant materials of varying form and density should be used to soften slope banks.

Borrow ditches should not be paved with asphalt concrete or concrete. Borrow ditches should be seeded and accented with native rocks.

Finished floor heights in relation to any adjacent curb in commercial areas should be limited to a five percent differential to minimize excessive handicapped access ramps.

Building and site design is encouraged to work with the natural contours of the land.

The following standards shall apply to all site grading:

Area	Min Slope	Max Slope
Planted Areas	2%	33%
Parking Lot	1%	5%
Driveways, Access Drives	1%	5%
Pedestrian Plaza	1%	2%
Sidewalks (direction of travel)	1.5%	6%
Sidewalks (horizontal tilt)	0%	2%

All slopes must also conform to ADA standards.

No cut or fill slopes shall be steeper than 3:1 with smooth vertical transitions. Terracing with retaining walls of approved materials will be allowed in certain situations. Materials will be compatible with the building design and shall be approved by the planning commission.

Add site topographic features (such as landscape berms and swales).

Site drainage must be designed to eliminate water collection at building foundations and minimize water collection at entrances and service ramps.

Retention/detention areas should be designed as year-round amenities with pedestrian access.

Storm Water Retention. The applicant shall design, construct, and install a storm water drainage system within the lot which shall be constructed of materials and according to the specifications of the master storm drain plan and according to generally accepted engineering standards, with an engineer's seal stamped on the plat. Naples City's on-site storage plan requires retention of 125 percent of a two-hour, 100-year storm volume. The storm water retention system may consist of one or more storm water retention areas. The overflow area must be identified, and evidence shown that it will not drain onto neighboring properties or nearby structures.

If the storm water retention area and system is on the surface and not underground, the owner/developer shall set aside area approved by the city council within the development engineered to retain the water as required by this chapter. The retention pond/area shall be established by a recorded plat with covenants that run with the land and require the owner of the land to maintain the retention pond/area as designed and at its expense to make any repairs or improvements as needed over the years to effectuate the purpose of the water retention facility. The owner shall be required to hold the city harmless from any damage or expense related to repairs or maintenance or from damage caused by failure of the system, in perpetuity. The area shall also be identified on the plat and the recorded documents shall be approved by the city attorney as to form and effect. No modification of the retention area may be done without an amendment to the plat. If the water retention is shared between two properties, a recorded easement is required.

(Ord. 23-248, 2023; LUO § 02-28-019)

§ 17.135.150 Architecture guidelines.

Design Professionals. Design and documentation of all buildings shall be by licensed design professional.

Guidelines.

Siting and Orientation. Placement of the building in relation to the surrounding elements is as important as the design of the building.

Buildings should be oriented so that entrances are clearly identifiable and directly accessible from a sidewalk. Buildings should be accessible for pedestrians and public transit users, not just for people driving private automobiles.

Materials and Colors. Materials and colors of the development should be selected for earth tone compatibility with the site, as well as compatibility with the neighboring area. High quality, low maintenance materials are encouraged as well as building materials that age well.

The selected materials and color palette should be compatible with the valley's mountain and basin environment, utilizing earthen tones.

All facades facing public streets or open space shall have the exterior wall or facade of such building of such construction to have a minimum of 50 percent architectural treatment of brick, glass, wood, stuccos, stone, masonry, including stone, brick, architectural precast concrete, cast stone, prefabricated brick panels, or any combination thereof, after the Southwestern European Design. The exterior wall or facade of any building fronting upon any public street shall not have the appearance of a metal building.

The final approval of exterior materials is at the discretion of the city council.

Maintenance. Owners or occupants shall maintain all buildings, drives, parking lots, signs or other structures located upon the property in good and sufficient repair and shall keep such premises and property in a neat, clean and orderly fashion. Any alteration made to the building or building site equaling more than 50 percent of the original site plan requires planning commission approval.

Any structure, driveway or parking lot surface that is damaged by the elements, vehicles, fire or any other cause shall be repaired as promptly as possible.

Grounds, landscaping and vegetation shall be maintained in accordance with the site plan approved by the city.

Lots, yards, parking areas, and grounds around the buildings shall be maintained in a weed-free condition. The weed-free areas shall be from the road right-of-way starting at the back of the sidewalk; if there is no sidewalk, then starting from the back of the road curb to all property fence lines.

Parking Garages. Parking garages may be used in the industrial zones and are subject to the same architectural standards as other structures.

Parking structures shall be designed to conceal the view of all parked cars and light sources from adjacent public right-of-way or public open space for the full height of the structure.

Facade openings that face any public right-of-way or open space shall be vertically and horizontally aligned and the floors fronting on such facades shall be level.

The sidewalk level of parking structures shall be designed to accommodate active uses, display windows, public art or other features that enhance the structure's relationship to pedestrians. Adequate ground floor dimensions are required and shall include floor to floor heights, structural, driving aisle and utility layouts within 30 feet of public right-of-way designed to accommodate occupancy by pedestrian uses.

Parking structures should not exceed 50 percent of any given block frontage.

Parking structures should utilize materials and architectural detailing found in the primary development being served.

§ 17.135.160 Exterior lighting design guidelines.

Reduce impact on pedestrians from cars entering and exiting parking garages by locating garage access on alleys, wherever possible.

(Ord. 23-248, 2023; LUO § 02-28-020)

Preface. The lighting standard shall provide visual continuity for the development and minimize the impact of exterior lighting on adjacent residential areas. The spacing, location, height, source, fixture, and illumination level of all lighting is subject to review by the city.

Use accent lighting at specific building features. Lighting of architectural features is to provide accent, not to exhibit or advertise buildings. All illumination sources must be located within the property boundaries and be shielded from public view. Lamp selection should be compatible with building color and texture.

Accent lighting of landscaping is permitted. Landscape illumination shall be low level and background in appearance.

Exterior paved areas and pedestrian walks shall be lighted using low intensity fixtures.

Lights shall be placed so as not to cause glare or excessive spillage onto adjacent lots.

Service area lighting should be contained within the service yard boundaries. No light spillover shall occur outside the service or storage area.

All seasonal/temporary lighting must be reviewed by the land use administrator.

Poles and luminaires shall be as described in schedule of exterior fixtures.

Pole height shall not exceed 30 feet, measured from the ground to the top of the pole.

Internally illuminated awnings are prohibited.

(Ord. 23-248, 2023; LUO § 02-28-021)

§ 17.135.170 Sign design guidelines.

Preface. All signage within Naples City is regulated for aesthetic consistency and appropriateness. All signage must follow Chapter 17.60 NCC, Sign Regulations.

Signage Plan Submittal.

A signage plan must be submitted to the planning commission for review and approval prior to installation.

The signage plan submittal should include the following:

A scale site plan showing the location and type of proposed signage.
