Chapter 18.37 — GENERAL STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL AND LIGHT

§ 18.37.010. General standards. ¶

The following standards shall apply to development in all commercial and light industrial districts, except as otherwise provided for in this code.

A. Outdoor uses (e.g., nursery or lumber sales and storage, agricultural products and equipment sales and rentals) should generally be screened from public view in an appropriate manner.
B. There shall be no visible storage of motor vehicles, trailers, boats, or their composite parts; loose rubbish, garbage or junk, or their receptacles. No storage shall occur on any vacant parcel.
C. Every parcel with a structure shall have a trash receptacle on the premises. The trash receptacle shall be screened on 3 sides by a solid enclosure 6 feet in height, and on the 4th side by a solid gate not less than 5 feet in height. The gate shall be maintained in working order and shall remain closed except when in use. The wall and gate shall be architecturally compatible with the surrounding structures.
D. All roof-mounted air conditioning or heating equipment, vents or ducts shall not be visible from any abutting lot, or any public street or right-of-way. This shall be accomplished through the extension of the main structure or roof or screened in a manner which is architecturally integrated with the main structure(s). If desired, the owner may incorporate appropriate landscape screening to be substituted or used in conjunction with a roof screening system, provided the screening is approved by the Planning Director or designee.
