Sec. 33-12. Nonresidential subdivisions.
In addition to the principles and standards in this Section which are appropriate to the planning of all subdivisions, the subdivider of nonresidential subdivisions shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission that the street, lot, and block patterns proposed are specifically adapted to the uses anticipated and take into account other uses in the vicinity. The following principles and standards shall be observed:
a.Street rights-of-way and improvements shall be adequate to accommodate the type and the volume of traffic anticipated.
b.Special requirements may be imposed for the design and construction of streets, curbs, gutter, and sidewalks and for the installation of all public utilities.
c.Every effort shall be made to protect adjacent residential areas from potential nuisance of the proposed nonresidential subdivisions. Deep lots or lots of extra width may be required for lots that abut existing or potential residential developments. Permanently landscaped buffer strips or other view obscuring and/or sound insulating materials may be required in such cases.
d.Streets carrying nonresidential traffic, especially truck traffic, shall not normally be extended to the boundaries of adjacent, existing, or potential residential areas, or connected to streets intended for predominately residential traffic. Access to nonresidential subdivisions shall not be provided through or from residential subdivisions.
e.Tentative maps of nonresidential subdivisions shall designate all areas proposed for structures, vehicular circulation and parking, pedestrian circulation, buffer strips and other landscaping, service areas and other site usage.
