Analysis

This ordinance makes various corrections, clarifications and minor substantive changes to the zoning code, including:

 

1.  Definitions of various terms are amended and clarified.

 

2.  Banks, general retail establishments, personal services, light motor vehicle rental facilities, tavern and restaurants are identified as permitted accessory uses within passenger terminals.

 

3.  All areas used for light or heavy motor vehicle storage shall have paved or otherwise approved surfaces.

 

4.  Contractors’ yards and outdoor salvage operations shall meet certain standards for perimeter landscaping and edge treatments.

 

5.  Seasonal markets shall be permitted to operate up to 180 days in certain circumstances.  Currently, the maximum is 90 days.

 

6.  Indoor recreation facilities are classified as special uses in all commercial zoning districts.  Currently, they are permitted uses in all commercial districts except neighborhood shopping, where they are a special use.

 

7.  The maximum permitted display area for a type “A” freestanding, wall or roof sign is increased for most commercial zoning districts.

 

8.  The glazing (window) requirements applicable to the LB2 local business zoning district shall apply to all properties in downtown zoning districts.  Currently, the zoning code does not specify glazing requirements for downtown districts.

4.  SITE STANDARDS.

 

f.  Truck Berths.  f-1.  Size.  Every truck berth shall be at least 60 feet in depth by 12 feet in width, except that the width of each truck berth may be reduced to 10 feet where there is more than one berth side-by-side with no intervening obstruction.  Each enclosed berth shall be at least 14 feet high.

 

f-2.  Location.  To eliminate interference with the public use of sidewalks, streets or alleys, every truck berth shall be located on the same lot as the principal structure it serves.
