§ 25-120. Standards of development.

The standards of development in commercial corridor zone districts shall be as follows:

(a)

Parking. See article IV of this chapter for off-street parking and loading regulations.

(b)

Minimum setbacks—Main buildings.

(1)

Front yard—60 feet from centerline of the major street abutting the property.

(2)

Side Yard—7 feet from property line.

(3)

Rear Yard—20 feet from property line.

(4)

Deviations. Where practical difficulties arise and where the planning and zoning commission finds ample evidence that a deviation from said minimum setback requirements will not adversely affect neighboring property, then the planning and zoning commission may at the preliminary plan stage approve deviations as follows:

a.

Side yard setback may be reduced to zero.

b.

Rear yard setback may be reduced to zero.

(c)

Storm water drainage. All developments with over twenty-five (25) percent in impervious surfaces must furnish adequate proof of storm water management so as not to materially injure neighboring properties. This shall include complete engineering calculations and plans containing hydrological information on and off the site. The amount of engineering information may vary depending on the location of the development regarding surrounding properties and their relationship regarding storm water problems. Such cases shall be reviewed by the city engineer prior to review of preliminary development plan by code administrator.

(d)

Maximum height.

(1)

Low-density corridor zone: Buildings or structures shall not exceed thirty (30) feet in height.

(2)

Medium-density corridor zone: Buildings or structures shall not exceed forty-five (45) feet in height.

(3)

High-density corridor zone: Buildings or structures shall not exceed sixty (60) feet in height. (In cases where proposed buildings or structures exceed these height restrictions, they may be permitted to be erected no more than one hundred fifty (150) feet in height provided that such buildings or structures shall have yards which shall be increased one (1) foot on all sides for each additional foot that such building or structure exceeds these height restrictions.)
