required bufferyard to both land uses. The
total bufferyard shall equal the minimum
requirements of this section. Provided that
such an agreement can be negotiated, the
initial use may provide the second use some or
all of its required bufferyard and/or extra
land on which it might develop. The existing
use may reduce its excess bufferyard by
transferring part or all of the excess
bufferyard to the adjoining landowner to serve
as its bufferyard. Any remaining excess buffer
area may be used by the existing use for
expansion of that use or for transfer by it to
the adjoining landowner to expand that
adjoining use.
CONTRACTUAL REDUCTION OF BUFFERYARD ABUTTIN~
42.13
VACANT LAND -When a land use is proposed adjacent
to vacant land, and the owner of the vacant land
enters into a contractual relationship with the
owner of the developing land use, a reduced
bufferyard may be provided by that first use,
provided that the contract contains a statement
by the owner of the vacant land of an intent to
develop at no greater intensity than specified in
the agreed upon zoning category; and an agreement
by that vacant landowner to assume all
responsibility for additional bufferyards if
needed at the time of development of the vacant
land.
MAINTENANCE
The owner, tenant, and/or agent, if any, shall
be jointly and severally responsible for the
maintenance of all bufferyards.
Bufferyards shall be reasonably maintained

bufferyard provision, death of a plant or plant
material which still results in the
requirements of the minimum standards being
met does not necessitate replacement, except
as required to maintain the integrity of the
bufferyard design. A time extension may be
granted by the Administrative Official if
substantial evidence is presented to indicate
abnormal circumstances beyond the control of
the owner, lessee, or agent.

ALL
I-2
I-1
slake\480-d, ord(6J+91) -26-
these sites are not to be located contiguous to
residentially zoned properties and should be
located in such a manner as to preclude the
necessity to travel through residentially zoned
areas to reach these sites. Petroleum operations
should never be placed in an environmentally
sensitive area and should be allocated only to
those areas appropriately supported by public
utility infrastructure and major arterial
thoroughfares. Environmental impacts of this use
should be carefully considered in determining
whether to grant or deny an application.
b. The City Council may permit the following
uses within this category.
(1) On-site storage of petroleum
products.
(2) Pipe line transfer or servicing
operations relating to the delivery of petroleum
based products.
(3) Petroleum distribution points of a

(4) Petroleum blending operations.
(5) Any or all other petroleum related
uses which in the opinion of the City Council
appear to be in character with the permitted uses

the City Council.

residence on such 10t or tract within five
hundred (500) feet of the storage area. The City
Council has no authority to waive Section 38
screening Requirements where the outdoor storage
abuts properly zoned residential. The applicant
requesting a waiver of screening requirements
must submit a map to the City Council showing
that the outside storage area is so situated that
I-1

it will not be an eyesore, and is sufficiently
distanced from any residences.
29. Outdoor storage of plants or other greenery
if conducted as a portion of the retail
operations of another principal use permitted
within this district. This specific use permit
is designed to permit the City Council to allow
limited outdoor garden sales activity in
conjunction with traditional retail operations
subject to the establishment of safeguards deemed
necessary and appropriate to protect adjoining
properties.
In granting a specific use permit for this
activity, the City Council is authorized to set
out specialized buffering, screening, design and
signage requirements to ensure that the outdoor
storage, display and sale is totally compatible
with the specific site and all surrounding land
uses.
30. Portable buildings not otherwise permitted
under this ordinance. (Subject to the
requirements of Section 45.7.)
31. The City Council may authorize the
establishment of retail operations in an amount
exceeding fifteen (15) percent of the net square

increase is the consolidation of retail space
from a number of different office structures
under common ownership for the purpose of
achieving efficiency of use and cost economies.
An example of this use would be found in a
business park which might contain five separate
office structures. A cafeteria or food service
establishment to service all five structures
might be located in one central structure under
the common control, direction or plan of a common
ownership and management group.
The City Council shall be authorized to grant
specific use permits to allow the consolidation
of the fifteen (15) percent retail support sales
activity, provided that the fifteen (15) percent
maximum usage for retail sales limitation shall
be maintained throughout an overall common
project.
32. The city Council may permit the construction
of residential units if they are constructed as
a portion of a mixed use development within a
single structure. This specific provision is

provision, the City Council may establish such
terms and conditions as it deems necessary to
protect the interest of the community at large,
the business applicant and the future occupant of
the residential structure.
34. The erection and maintenance of antennas,
satellite dishes, telecommunication facilities or

for this district where such structures are
