Section 16.04 Additional Regulations
A. All Lodging Zoning Districts:
1. Site Enclosure and Screening Requirements: Unless fully or partially waived by the Development Services Director, lodging sites and/or uses shall be enclosed to provide effective site screening from adjoining properties, uses or streets as follows:
a. A solid wall, not less than six (6) feet in height shall be required along and adjacent to any side or rear property line abutting any residential zone boundary, or any alley abutting such zone boundary at the time of development of the lodging property. Further, any access gates in said solid wall shall be constructed of view-obscuring material to provide effective site screening.
b. The perimeter of any portion of a site not adjacent to a residential zone boundary upon which any outdoor use of an accessory commercial nature is permitted shall be enclosed to a height of not less than eight (8) feet by building walls, a solid masonry, concrete or earthen product wall. No outdoor accessory commercial use or enclosure thereof shall encroach into any required setback area adjacent to any street, nor shall any storage products or materials exceed the height of any such enclosure.
2. Any outdoor lighting shall be in conformance with provisions in Chapter 8 hereof. Any outdoor lighting shall be placed so as to reflect light away from any adjoining residential Zoning District.
3. If the lodging use or any accessory commercial uses expand, it shall, in addition to the parking spaces in existence prior to such expansion, be required to provide only the number of additional parking spaces necessitated by the expansion.
B. Performance Requirements for the Lodging Zoning Districts:
1. All building permits for new construction shall include completion of all right-of-way improvements required for that type of development by the subdivision ordinance.
2. Site plans shall be designed in such manner that they minimize the traffic impact on local residential streets.
3. Buildings and their appurtenances shall be oriented to limit conflicts with surrounding residential uses due to noise, light, litter, or dust.
4. There shall be no outdoor music or speakers.
5. When a lodging property abuts a residential district, the following standards shall be required:
a. A twenty (20) foot landscaped buffer shall be provided for the full distance where the two properties abut.
b. Lighting of the site shall not exceed fifteen (15) feet in height and shall be fully screened and directed away from residences or residentially zoned land in the vicinity of the site.
c. Mechanical equipment must be located or screened to limit sound transfer to nearby residentially zoned property. All mechanical equipment must be screened from public view and view of adjoining properties.
d. Noise producing mechanical equipment must be located at least twenty (20) feet from any common property line with residentially zoned property.
e. Openings in buildings and activity centers on sites shall be located to minimize interference with residential uses.
f. Drainage from buildings and parking lot areas shall be detained on-site and shall be directed only into a drainage system approved by the Town Engineer.
g. Loading and delivery entrances shall be located away from the interface with residential uses or shall be screened to prevent the intrusion of the lodging or accessory activities into the adjacent residential neighborhood.
h. All activity (except required on-site parking, off-street loading and unloading spaces, and incidental or accessory storage and display areas) shall be within a completely enclosed building, unless otherwise specifically noted herein.
i. All trash enclosures and outside storage of any kind shall be located at least 80 feet from any residential zoning district and shall be screened by a six-foot high concrete block or masonry wall.
