Chapter 25.56 BG GENERAL BUSINESS ZONE
Section 25.56.060 Use limitations.
The following limitations and conditions shall apply to, and be complied with by, all
permitted
and permissible uses in the BG zone:
1. Loading and unloading operations shall take place wholly
within the site and not in any
front yard.
2. Screening shall be provided along all lot lines abutting
or adjacent to residentially zoned or
used property, sufficient to block substantially any view of the nonresidential operation, stored
materials and equipment from all points located on or not more than eight feet above the lowest
elevation of such residential property. In the event such screening is not sufficient to block
totally any view of stored waste or waste receptacles, additional screening shall be provided
sufficient to block totally any view of stored waste or waste receptacles. In no event shall this
section be deemed to require more than full enclosure (including roof) of stored waste including
waste receptacles and an opaque fence not more than seven feet in height extending the full
length of not more than three sides of the subject property; provided, however, such screening
may be reduced in height so as to avoid shading a solar energy collector located on said adjoining
lot.
3. No nonresidential use shall be established in any structure
or premises originally designed
for a residential use unless the existing residential character of the building shall be retained.
Any design or structural changes, additions or extensions shall be consistent with the
architectural character of the original building.
4. No building designed and intended for a business use shall
be constructed or established on
a zoning lot occupied by a residential building.
5. No permitted or permissible use shall be conducted in any
manner which would render it
noxious or offensive by reason of dust, refuse matter, odor, smoke, gas, fumes, noise, vibration or
glare. (Ord. S-30424, 1976)
