<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ZONING ORDINANCE REVIEW SUMMARY <br />(Task 103) <br /> <br />A. INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />This report investigates six primary issues relating to commercial uses that are adjacent to <br />residential areas: Lighting, Off-Street Parking, Loading and Deliveries, Setbacks of Commercial <br />Structures, Hours of Operation and Screening/Buffering. It highlights other cities' requirements <br />and compares them to the requirements in Roseville's SC-Shopping Center District. We have <br />researched ordinances other than those included in this review and found these same issues noted <br />often. In addition to utilizing performance standards such as the six outline above, the <br />approaches to development and various methods that are used to guide or control it are also <br />examined. <br /> <br />B. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> <br />LIGHTING <br />Lighting of commercial buildings and parking areas is one problem that may be associated with <br />businesses that are adjacent to residential areas. Some cities control lighting by setting forth <br />measurable standards in terms of footcandles. Commonly, standards are more stringent for light <br />that is cast onto residential properties, public areas and/or right-of-ways. Table I on page 4 <br />shows a summary of footcandle requirements in various city zoning ordinances for light that is <br />cast upon a residential property. <br /> <br />To further control the spillover of light from one property onto another, the height of light poles <br />if sometimes restricted. When light poles are adjacent to residential areas, their height may be <br />even further limited. A summary of pole height restrictions in various communities when the <br />poles are adjacent to residential properties is shown in Table 2. <br /> <br />Roseville Shopping Center District Study <br /> <br />Phase I Report <br /> <br />Page 3 <br />
