body
HEARING REQUIRED: Public
SUMMARY:
The City’s Land Development Code addresses permitted uses within each Zoning District as a stand-alone use or as an accessory to a primary use. Outdoor storage and work is first listed in the Land Development Code within the Commercial Land Use District (C-3). However, the use is listed as an accessory use and requires that it
“shall be screened by an opaque fencer or wall at least eight (8) feet high at installation. Vegetation shall also be used as a screen and shall provide seventy-five (75) percent opacity. The vegetative screen shall be located on the exterior of the required fence.”
The next time this use is found is within the Industrial Land Use District (M-1) and it is permitted as a stand-alone use. Although our Land Development Code is cumulative, as a stronger enforcement tool, staff is recommending that the screening language listed in C-3 be added to the stand-alone use in the Industrial Land Use District (M-1).
