<br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Screening/buffer standards: <br />The intent of the screeninglbuffer standards is to provide an emphasis on reducing the visual impact <br />loading spaces may have when facing rights-of-way or residential zoning districts. The screening may <br />consist of a combination of fencing, and/or earth berming and landscaping. The quantity and quality of <br />the materials will depend on the door location and how the site is designed to accommodate these spaces. <br />The screeninglbuffer plan must be approved by the Planning Department. <br /> <br />Access: <br />Loading spaces must be designed with appropriate means of vehicular access to/from a street or drive <br />aisle in a manner which will least interfere with traffic circulation. Loading space access is subject to <br />approval by the city engineer. <br /> <br />Architecture: <br />Loading spaces should be designed to reflect hannonious compatibility with the principal structure. <br />Architectural techniques are encouraged to reduce the visual impacts on adjacent properties or roadways. <br /> <br />BUFFER YARD FLEXIBILITY <br />If a reduction to the setback is requested, the Director of Community Development may consider a <br />reduction in 5 foot increments down to 45 feet, provided the applicant agrees to provide additional plant <br />materials in the setback areas using the following standards for each 5 foot increment: <br /> <br />Required plant units/1 00 lineal feet: <br />0.3 overstory deciduous trees (min size 2 1/2 inch caliper b&b) <br />0.6 ornamental trees (min size 1 1/2 inch caliper b&b) <br />2.0 shrubs (min size 24 inch pot) <br />1.1 evergreen/conifers (min size 6 foot b&b) <br /> <br />For reductions from 45 feet down to 25 feet the following shall apply: <br />Required plant units/1 00 lineal feet: <br />0.3 overstory deciduous trees (min size 2 1/2 inch caliper b&b) <br />0.6 ornamental trees (min size 1 1/2 inch caliper b&b) <br />1.0 shrubs (min size 24 inch pot) <br />0.5 evergreen/conifers (min size 6 foot b&b) <br />Also, if the applicant wants a reduction from 45 feet to 25 feet, there must be an 8 foot high board-on- <br />board fence required along the lot line, all mechanical equipment must be roof mounted (screened <br />from view), no wall fans, and no flood lighting or directional security lighting will be allowed to <br />create glare or spillover onto adjacent properties. <br /> <br />RoseviHe Shopping Center District Study <br /> <br />Phase I Report <br /> <br />Page 68 <br />
