- The Board of Adjustment may grant a variance only if:

- Granting the variance is essential to the enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same zoning district;
- The variance will not substantially affect the General Plan and will not be contrary to the public interest; and
- The spirit of this Title is observed and substantial justice done.
- In determining whether or not enforcement of any provision of this Title would cause unreasonable hardship, the Board of Adjustment may not find unreasonable hardship unless the alleged hardship is located on or associated with the property for which the variance is sought and comes from circumstances peculiar to the property, not from conditions that are general to the neighborhood. The Board of Adjustment may not find an unreasonable hardship exists if the hardship is self imposed or economic.
- In determining whether or not there are special circumstances attached to the property, the Board of Adjustment may find that special circumstances exist only if the special circumstances relate to the hardship complained of and deprive the property of privileges granted to other properties in the same zone.
- An applicant shall bear the burden of proving that all of the conditions justifying a variance have been met.
- A use variance may not be granted.
- In granting a variance, the Board of Adjustment may impose additional requirements on an applicant that will mitigate any harmful effects of the variance, or serve the purpose of the standard or requirement that is waived or modified.

- Appeal. Any person adversely affected by a final decision of the Board of Adjustment regarding a variance may appeal that decision to the district court as provided in Utah Code § 10-9a-801.
- Effect of Approval. A variance shall not authorize the establishment of any use nor the development, construction, reconstruction, alteration, or moving of any building or structure, but shall merely authorize the preparation, filing, and processing of applications for any approvals or permits that may be required by this Title and other applicable provisions of the Centerville Municipal Code.
- Amendment. The procedure for amending any variance decision shall be the same as the original procedure set forth in this Section.
- Expiration. Variances shall not expire but shall run with the land.

A nonconforming use, structure, lot, or other nonconformity may not be changed except in conformance with the provisions of this Title or as authorized by the Board of Adjustment. To the extent any nonconforming use, structure, lot, or other nonconformity becomes conforming, it shall not be changed back to the previously existing nonconforming condition.
HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
- Continuation. A nonconforming use of a conforming structure, or nonconforming structure legally existing when such use became prohibited, may be continued. A vacant structure may be occupied by a use for which the structure was designed or intended if so occupied within a period of six months after the use becomes nonconforming.
- Expansion within a Conforming Building. A nonconforming use existing within a portion of a conforming building may be expanded to include the entire floor area of such building provided such expansion:
- Does not include any structural alteration;
- Creates no noise, odor, or vibration; and
- Otherwise conforms to the requirements of this Title.
- Nonconforming Use of Open Land. A nonconforming use of open land may be continued provided such nonconforming use shall not be expanded or modified in any manner, except in conformity with the requirements of this Title or as may be required by law.
- Expansion of Outdoor Nonconforming Use. A nonconforming use of a lot where the principal use is not enclosed within a building, such as a salvage yard or a motor vehicle sales lot, shall not be expanded or modified except in conformity with the requirements of this Title or as may be required by law.
HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
- Continuation. A nonconforming structure may be continued so long as no additions or enlargements are made thereto and no structural alterations are made therein, except as permitted by this Section or as may be required by law. If a nonconforming structure is removed from the lot where it was located, each future structure on such lot shall conform to the provisions of this Title.
- Maintenance and Repair. A nonconforming structure may be maintained. Repairs and structural alterations may be made to a nonconforming structure within the existing footprint thereof provided the degree of nonconformity is not increased.
- Enlargement and Expansion. Any expansion or enlargement of a nonconforming structure that increases the degree of nonconformance is prohibited except as provided in this Subsection.
- The initial determination of whether a proposed expansion increases the degree of nonconformity shall be made by the Zoning Administrator.
- A structure which is nonconforming as to height, area, or yard requirements may be enlarged upon authorization by the Board of Adjustment provided the Board, after notice and a hearing, finds the enlargement to be compatible with adjoining property and not detrimental to the community, as determined by the effect of the enlargement on traffic, value of adjacent and nearby properties, and the availability of adequate public facilities and services.
- Relocation. If a nonconforming structure is relocated within the City, it shall be placed only in a location where it fully conforms with the requirements of this Title.
- Alteration Where Parking Insufficient. A building which is conforming except for sufficient automobile parking, as required by this Title, may be altered or enlarged provided additional automobile parking space is supplied to meet the requirements of this Title for the nonconforming portion of the old structure and the alteration or enlargement.
- Restoration. A nonconforming structure damaged by fire, wind, earthquake, or other calamity or act of God or the public enemy may be restored as it existed previously and its use may be continued so long as restoration is started within six months from the date the damage occurred and is diligently pursued to completion.
HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
- Continuation. A nonconforming lot may continue to be occupied and used although it may not conform in every respect with the dimensional requirements of this Title, subject to the provisions of this Chapter.
- New Single Family Dwelling. A new single family dwelling may be constructed on a legally established lot which is nonconforming as to area, width, or both, provided:
- The lot was legally nonconforming when the area or width requirements were changed;
- The use is for the sole purpose of a single family dwelling;
- There is only one main building on the lot; and
- The dwelling will conform to all other requirements of this Title, such as lot frontage, yard setbacks, building height, and other applicable requirements, such as street improvements, fire protection, and Construction Codes.
- Lot with Building. If a nonconforming lot contains a building legally established before the effective date of this Title, then the owner may continue the then-existing use of such building and may expand the building in any way that does not increase the degree of nonconformity. An increase in building size shall not be deemed to increase the degree of nonconformity of the lot unless the building increases any encroachment into a required setback. Remodeling of a building within an existing footprint or expansion in compliance with this Section shall not require a variance to lot requirements but shall be reviewed by the Zoning Administrator as though the lot conforms to the requirements of this Title.
HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
- Applicability. This Section shall apply to any other nonconformity except nonconforming signs, including, but not limited to, improper fence height or location, lack of buffers or screening, lack of or inadequate landscaping, lack of or inadequate off-street parking, and any other nonconformity not addressed by CZC 12.22.050, CZC 12.22.060, and CZC 12.22.070.
- Nonconforming Development with Approved Plan. Nonconforming development that is consistent with an approved site plan or other approval granted before the effective date of this Title shall be deemed in conformance with this Title to the extent it is consistent with the approved plan and to the extent such plan or conditions imposed thereon directly address the specific issue involved in a determination of conformity. Such nonconforming development, other than circumstances enumerated in CZC 12.22.050, CZC 12.22.060, and CZC 12.22.070, shall be brought into conformance upon the occurrence of any one of the following:
- Any increase of more than 30% in floor area or 50% of the value of the building or premises;
- For a lot located in a commercial zone that requires the issuance of a new certificate of occupancy; or
- For a lot located in an industrial zone that requires the issuance of a new certificate of occupancy for a change in the occupancy use type.
- Time for Compliance. Because nonconformities addressed in this Section involve less investment and are more easily corrected than those addressed in CZC 12.22.050, CZC 12.22.060, and CZC 12.22.070, the intent of the City is to eliminate such nonconformities as quickly as practicable. The extent of such nonconformities shall not be increased.
HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
When area or setbacks of a legally created lot are reduced as the result of a conveyance to a federal, state or local government and the remaining area or setback is at least 75% of the required minimum in the zone where it is located, the lot shall be deemed to be in compliance with the minimum lot size and setback standards of this Title without any need for a variance.
HISTORY

- The structure has been removed through applicable procedures for the condemnation of unsafe structures.
- Overcoming Presumption of Abandonment. A presumption of abandonment may be rebutted upon evidence presented by the owner showing no intent to abandon the use, structure, or other nonconformity. Such evidence may include proof that during the alleged period of abandonment the owner has done either of the following:
- Maintained the lot and structure, if any, in accordance with the Construction Codes; or
- Has actively and continuously marketed the lot or structure for sale or lease.
HISTORY

- Certain Uses Deemed Conforming. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Title, a nonconforming use located within the area bounded by 100 East, 100 North, 400 East, and 400 North may be deemed a conforming use and treated accordingly if the use is:
- Legally established before Dec. 18, 2003; and
- Registered as provided in Subsection (b).

Any violation of the provisions of this Title shall be subject to the enforcement remedies and penalties provided by this Chapter and by Utah law, including any of the following:
- Withhold Permit. The City may deny or withhold all permits, certificates, or other forms of authorization pertaining to any land or improvements when an uncorrected violation exists pursuant to this Title or to a condition or qualification of a permit, certificate, approval or other authorization previously granted by the City Council, Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, or other City officer. The City may, instead of withholding or denying an authorization, grant such authorization subject to the condition that the violation be corrected. The provisions of this Section shall apply regardless of whether the original applicant or owner or current applicant or owner is responsible for the violation in question.
- Revoke Permit. Any permit may be revoked by the Zoning Administrator when the Zoning Administrator determines the permit was procured by false representation or was issued by mistake.
- When a permit is revoked hereunder for false representation or mistake, a notice of a revocation shall be in writing and may be served upon the owner, the owner's agent or contractor, or upon any person employed at the site of the building or structure for which such permit was issued.

HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
Centerville City generally uses the complaint-based methodology for code enforcement whereby the City pursues code enforcement upon receipt of a complaint. Any person desiring to file a complaint regarding a Zoning Code violation may do so by filling out a Centerville City Civil Complaint Form (Civil Complaint Form) or by contacting the Community Development Department. The Community Development Department will accept complaints by phone or in writing. If complaints are made by phone, City staff will fill out the Civil Complaint Form. All official complaints will be logged and thereafter investigated by the applicable enforcement official. If requested, and contact information is provided, the enforcement official will follow up with the complainant and provide a summary of the investigation and the enforcement action taken, if any. The City may also use a systematic approach to code enforcement whereby the City conducts systematic sweeps or reviews of various areas of the City for code violations. The City may use the systematic approach when deemed necessary to address safety issues, rampant violations in a particular area, as part of an awareness campaign, or as directed by the City Council.
HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
- Investigation and Inspection. The authorized enforcement official may investigate any purported violation of this Title and take action as is warranted under the circumstances in accordance with the provisions and procedures set forth in this Chapter. An enforcement official is authorized to enter upon any property or premises to ascertain whether the provisions of this Title are being obeyed and to make any reasonable examination or survey necessary to determine compliance. This may include the taking of photographs, samples, or other physical evidence. All inspections, entries, examinations and surveys shall be done in a reasonable manner. If such inspection, entry, examination or survey requires entry onto private property, the enforcement official shall provide prior notice and obtain approval from the property owner or responsible person. If a property owner or responsible person refuses to allow an enforcement official to enter property, the enforcement official shall obtain a search warrant or administrative warrant before entering the property.
- Notice of Violation. Except as otherwise provided herein, if the enforcement official determines that any provision of this Title is being violated and immediate enforcement action is not necessary under the circumstances, the enforcement official shall provide a written notice of violation to the property owner or any other person determined to be responsible for the violation. Such written notice of violation shall indicate the nature of the violation, the action necessary to correct the violation, the warning period established before further enforcement action or penalties, and the potential enforcement action and/or penalties to be imposed for failure to cure the violation within the established warning period. Such notice of violation shall be served in accordance with CZC 12.23.093. Such notice of violation shall serve to start the warning period. A notice of violation shall not be required for violations requiring immediate enforcement under Subsection (d), or for subsequent violations within a 12 month period under Subsection (e), as amended.
- Warning Period. Unless otherwise determined by the enforcement official, the warning period for correction of violations set forth in the notice of violation shall be 10 days from the receipt of the notice of violation. If the violation remains uncured after expiration of the warning period, the enforcement official shall pursue further enforcement action as deemed appropriate in accordance with the provisions provided herein. The enforcement official is authorized to extend the warning period, up to an additional 30 days, if the enforcement official determines good cause exists for such extended warning period and the extension will not create or perpetuate a situation imminently dangerous to life or properly. The enforcement official is authorized to grant an extension beyond the additional 30 days, on similar grounds and findings; provided, any such extension shall require written agreement by the property owner or person responsible for the violation to remedy the violations within a set time frame and to comply with any and all conditions of extension as required by the enforcement official. A request for extension shall be filed in writing by the property owner or person responsible for the violation prior to the expiration of the 10 day response period. A warning period shall not be required for violations requiring immediate enforcement under Subsection (d), or for subsequent violations within a 12 month period under Subsection (e), as amended.
- Immediate Enforcement. The enforcement official is not required to provide a notice of violation or warning period for any continuing development or construction or an emergency situation. In the case of a violation involving such continuing construction or development or an emergency situation, as reasonably determined by the enforcement official, the enforcement official may use the enforcement powers and remedies available under this Chapter, including issuance of a civil citation, without prior notice or notice of violation.
- Subsequent Violations. The enforcement official is not required to provide a notice of violation or warning period for the same subsequent Zoning Code violation occurring on the same property within a 12 month period from the date of the first notice of violation. In the case of such subsequent violation(s) occurring on the same property within a 12 month period, the enforcement official may use the enforcement powers and remedies provided under this Chapter, including issuance of a civil citation, without prior notice or notice of violation. In accordance with applicable statutes, property owners with weed violations need only be provided one notice of violation per season.
- Enforcement and Abatement. Any building or structure set up, erected, constructed, altered, enlarged, converted, moved, or maintained; or any land, building, or premises used contrary to the provisions of this Title is hereby declared to be unlawful and a public nuisance. The City Attorney, prosecutor or other authorized legal counsel may commence action or proceedings for the abatement, removal, and enjoinment thereof in the manner provided by law. The City Attorney, prosecutor or other authorized legal counsel may also take such other steps and may apply to such court as may have jurisdiction to grant relief as will abate and remove such building or structure, and restrain and enjoin any person, firm, or corporation from setting up, erecting, building, maintaining, or using any building, structure, or property contrary to the provisions of this Title.
HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
- Civil Citation. If any violation of this Title remains uncured after issuance of a notice of violation and expiration of the warning period set forth therein, as applicable, a civil citation may be issued to the property owner or other person determined to be responsible for the violation and civil penalties imposed for such violation. The civil citation shall be served in the manner set forth in CZC 12.23.093. Each civil citation shall include the date and location of all violations, the code sections violated, the amount of the civil penalty imposed for each violation, an explanation of how the civil penalty shall be paid and the consequences for failure to pay, an explanation of the right to and the procedures for requesting an administrative hearing, and the signature of the enforcement official issuing the citation.
- Civil Penalties Imposed. Civil penalties to be imposed for a civil citation shall be imposed in accordance with the civil penalties set forth in the City Fee Schedule. Civil penalties shall be due and owing to the City within 20 days from the date of service. The civil penalty shall double if not paid within 20 days from the date of service. The civil penalty shall triple if not paid within 40 days from the date of service. After 40 days, unpaid civil penalties shall accrue interest at the rate set forth by the State of Utah for unpaid judgments. Payment of any civil penalty shall not excuse any failure to correct a violation or the reoccurrence of the violation, nor shall it bar further enforcement action by the City. A civil citation and civil penalties may be imposed for each and every day a violation occurs or continues to exist. Additional civil penalties may be imposed for subsequent or reoccurring violations on the same property within 12 months from the date of the civil citation. Such graduated penalties for subsequent or recurring violations shall be adopted by the City Council and set forth in the City Fee Schedule. If a violation is corrected but reoccurs on the same property within one year from the imposition of any civil penalty, any subsequent violation within such one year period shall subject the person to the recurring violation penalty. Civil penalties may not be imposed for a civil violation that occurs in conjunction with another criminal violation as part of a single criminal episode that will be prosecuted in a criminal proceeding. Civil penalties shall be paid to the City Finance Department.
- Request for Hearing. Any person having received a civil citation may request an administrative hearing before a hearing officer by filing a written application for hearing. Such request for hearing shall be filed with the City Recorder within 20 days from the date of service of the civil citation or other specified date set forth therein. Failure to request an administrative hearing as provided herein within 20 days from the date of service of the civil citation or other specified time frame shall constitute a waiver of the right to an administrative hearing and the right to an appeal.
- Scheduling Hearing. Upon receipt of a request for an administrative hearing, the City Recorder shall forward the same to the City Manager. The City Manager shall thereafter appoint, contract with or hire a hearing officer to hear the matter. As soon as practicable after being appointed, the hearing officer shall schedule a date, time and place for the administrative hearing and shall send written notice of same to the responsible person(s). Notice of the hearing shall be served on the responsible person(s) in accordance with the provisions of CZC 12.23.093.
- Hearing Procedures. Administrative hearings are intended to be informal in nature. Formal rules of evidence and discovery shall not apply; provided, all persons shall be afforded due process of law, including adequate notice, an opportunity to be heard, and adequate explanation of the reasons justifying any action. The City shall bear the burden of proof to establish the existence of a violation of the Zoning Code. Such proof shall be established by a preponderance of the evidence. All administrative hearings shall be open to the public and shall be recorded. The responsible person shall have the right to be represented by an attorney. If an attorney will be representing a responsible person at a hearing, notice of the attorney's name, address and telephone number shall be given to the City at least one day prior to the hearing. If such notice is not given, the hearing may be continued at the City's request, and all costs of the continuance shall be assessed to the responsible person.

In addition to the general purposes of this Title as set forth in CZC 12.10.030, the various zones each serve more specific purposes as set forth below.
- Agricultural Zones. Agricultural zones preserve and protect agricultural lands and related activities, permit activities normally and necessarily related to agricultural production, and prohibit land uses that may undermine continued agricultural activity.
- The purpose of the A-L Zone is to provide areas where single family residences can be located along with low intensity agricultural activities, such as pasturing of animals and farming activities on relatively small lots or parcels.
- The purpose of the A-M Zone is to permit commercial agricultural activities of medium intensity such as greenhouses and specialty crops.
- Residential Zones. Residential zones allow a wide range of residential land uses at various densities. These zones are intended to protect the stability of neighborhoods and encourage, collectively, different kinds of compatible residential development.
- The purpose of the R-L Zone is to permit development of detached single-family homes on individual lots or parcels at densities of one to four units per acre.
- The purpose of the R-M Zone is to permit well-designed townhomes, two-family dwellings, and condominiums at densities of four to six units per acre that are appropriately buffered from and compatible with surrounding land uses. Single-family dwellings are also permitted in the R-M Zone.
- The purpose of the R-H Zone is to permit well-designed apartments, townhomes, two-family dwellings, and condominiums at densities of eight to twelve units per acre that are appropriately buffered from and compatible with surrounding land uses.
- Public Facility Zones. Public facility zones accommodate public and quasi-public uses.
- The purpose of the PF-L Zone is to recognize on the Zoning Map areas of open space, such as parks, conservation areas, United States Forest Service property, and other publically-owned property.
- The purpose of the PF-M Zone is to recognize on the Zoning Map property of medium intensity uses which is used, owned, or operated by a public or quasi-public entity and which has a relatively low impact on adjacent property. Typical uses include cemeteries, power substations, telephone service buildings, public parks, public schools, and small public office buildings.
- The purpose of the PF-H Zone is to provide areas for facilities used, owned, or operated by public and quasi public entities and which utilize relatively large areas of land or high intensity uses. This zone is intended to provide immediate recognition of such areas on the official Zoning Map. Typical uses include hospitals, open-air theaters, public parks, public schools, and public utility facilities.
- The purpose of the PF-VH Zone is to provide a zone where intense land use activities by public and quasi-public entities can be located. Typical uses include maintenance yards and motor vehicle service areas with outside storage areas.
- Commercial Zones. Commercial zones provide areas where a combination of business, commercial, entertainment, office, and related activities may be established, maintained and protected. Commercial zones are intended to provide a suitable environment for those commercial and service uses vital to the economic base of the City.
- The purpose of the C-M Zone is to provide areas for commercial activities and professional offices which have less than 10,000 square feet of floor area. This zone is intended to promote a combination of retail and service facilities that meet day to day needs of nearby residents and which are compatible in character and scale with adjacent development.
- The purpose of the C-H Zone is to accommodate a wide range of commercial uses which have 10,000 to 50,000 square feet of floor area. Typical uses include offices, retail stores, restaurants, and institutional uses.
- The purpose of the C-VH Zone is to accommodate a wide range of commercial uses which have 50,000 square feet or more of floor area in a building, or which have relatively heavy vehicle traffic. Typical uses include offices, retail stores, fast food stores, vehicle service facilities, heavy commercial, and institutional uses. Uses in this zone may also include lodging facilities, travel plazas, restaurants, and commuter parking.
- Industrial Zones. Industrial zones provide areas for conducting business, manufacturing and industrial activities.
- The purpose of the I-M Zone is to provide aesthetically attractive planned developments having a mix of office, research and development, light manufacturing, and limited retail uses, which have less than 10,000 square feet in floor area in a building. Typical uses include offices, clean indoor manufacturing facilities, service retail, restaurants, athletic clubs, medical offices, office/warehouse buildings, and research facilities.
- The purpose of the I-H Zone is to provide areas for uses involving processing and assembly of manufactured goods, warehousing, and material storage. Uses which generate excessive noise, vibration, odor, dust, and fumes are excluded from this zone.
- The purpose of the I-VH Zone is to provide areas where uses involving industrial processes, natural resource extraction, and other heavy uses may be permitted without negatively impacting other areas of the City, especially when undertaken on a large scale. To assure compatibility with uses in other adjacent zones, many such uses are allowed only as a conditional use.
- Special Purpose and Overlay Zones. Special purpose zones are intended to accomplish objectives unique to the particular zone. Overlay zones implement supplemental regulations that apply geographically, regardless of the underlying base zone. Whenever the regulations of a base zone and an overlay zone conflict, overlay zone regulations shall apply.
- The purpose of the PDO zone is to permit a compatible, master-planned mix of various types of residential uses in combination with open space components on land that has unique or unusual characteristics that warrant customized development requirements. Although residential dwelling type and development size may vary from location to location, each development is intended to consist of well-designed, architecturally integrated structures which are appropriately landscaped and buffered from surrounding land uses.
- The purpose of the SD zone is to encourage master-planned, architecturally-designed, mixed-use development, where customized zoning requirements apply in order to permit flexibility and initiative in site development.

Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
Notwithstanding the Regulations of General Applicability in CZC 12.32.060 and the Table of Development Standards in CZC 12.32.300, all residential development within the R-M and R-H Zones shall comply with the following development standards.
- Architectural Design Standards. All primary buildings within the R-M and R-H Zones shall be designed by a licensed, professional architect and all drawings submitted for approval or permit shall bear the architect’s stamp for the State of Utah.
- Exterior Design Standards. All sides of primary buildings within the R-M and R-H Zones shall receive design consideration with particular attention given to areas exposed to public view.
- All primary buildings within a development project shall possess an overall building architectural theme, including, but not limited to, exterior building materials, textures, colors and signage.
- The apparent mass of primary buildings or structures shall be minimized through design, articulation, and use of materials. An open design is desired that visually and physically breaks up the mass and footprint of buildings. Approaches such as the use of vertical and horizontal planes, roof pitches, roof lines, windows, reveals, and alcoves shall be used to create façade variation, shadows, corners, and architectural interest. Articulation approaches should not appear to be applied randomly or merely a surface treatment. In addition, the use of any multiple articulation approaches shall be coordinated to affect a complementary building design.
- Natural or natural-appearing materials, such as stone, cultured stone, brick, and wood, shall be the design gestures used in the architectural design of all primary buildings. Wood siding, cement fiber board siding, and other similar appearing materials shall be the other main materials used in the design of all residential buildings. Substantial or prominent use of synthetic stucco, and unnatural appearing materials, such as metal, vinyl, and plastics are to be used sparingly. Use of such secondary and/or accent materials shall not exceed 20% of the building or structure’s exterior.
- The Planning Commission shall review and approve architectural design of buildings within the R-M and R-H Zones in accordance with the provisions set forth herein during conditional use permit and/or site plan review.
- Landscaping and Open Space. All residential developments within the R-M and R-H Zones, except for single-family developments, shall comply with the landscaping regulations of CZC 12.51 (Landscaping and Screening), and more specifically, the regulations of CZC 12.51.070(g) regarding multi-family developments. Additionally, landscaping and open spaces shall be designed in a manner to meet the residential needs for active and passive spaces for residents and visitors, such as private spaces, entry features, small centralized gathering areas, and buffering adjacent land uses. Furthermore, such areas shall be designed with the amenities or features that complement the various expected residents, both day and evening hours, and beyond the default design of a tot lot, playground, or clubhouse.
- Use of Public and Private Roadways. All dwellings within residential developments in R-M and R-H Zones shall be accessed from a public roadway, unless otherwise approved as part of a planned development or condominium (See, CZC 12.55.150). Approved access from a private right-of-way shall meet the following standards:
- Access to and from a public street may be in the form of private right-of-way or a driveway, as defined or required by this Title.
- Two points of ingress/egress from a public right-of-way shall be established for any development greater than 20 dwellings, irrespective of the allowed gross density.
- When a private right-of-way is utilized, the private right-of-way pavement (i.e. travel lanes) shall be at least 27-feet and the constructed cross-section with curb and gutter of the roadway shall be built to City Specifications.
- Access using a private right-of-way shall be constructed with a sufficient width to provide on-street parking for visitors at a ratio of at least 0.5 stalls per dwelling. An exception may be provided to this ratio if visitor parking is provided by separate parking area or parking lot as part of a site plan approved by the City.
- A sidewalk system shall be provided on both sides of any private right-of-way. An exception may be provided to this requirement if an alternate integrated development pathway system connecting to the public right-of-way and serving the dwellings is provided to satisfy the requirement for sidewalks, as part of a site plan approved by the City.
- A private right-of-way shall be perpetually maintained by the developer or an owner’s association. Such perpetual care and maintenance obligations shall be addressed with covenant, conditions, and restrictions, for the development approved by the City and recorded against the property.
- A private right-of-way design shall also comply with all applicable Fire Code regulations.
- Residential Development Style Limitations for R-M Zone. The residential development style for residential development within the R-M Zone shall be limited to single-family dwellings, twin homes, duplexes, or townhomes in tri-plex, four-plex, and six-plex formats that mimic a typical neighborhood style street on public or private roadways (as described in Subsection (d)). Higher density design formats such as stacked flats or apartment style buildings or buildings constructed with associated vehicular parking lot style facilities are prohibited in the R-M Zone.

- Application. A person desiring a waiver from requirements of this Chapter, with regards to hard surfacing requirements, shall, in conjunction with an applicable development application, submit a written request which describes the proposed waiver, provides grounds justifying the waiver, and shows how the intent of this Chapter will be met by the proposed waiver.
- Findings Required. The Planning Commission may authorize a waiver from the requirements of hard surfacing limitation set forth in Section 12.32.300, to the extent authorized herein, only if it finds the waiver:
- Preserves the intent of this Chapter and the provisions for which a waiver is authorized.
- The granting of a waiver will not result in an adverse impact on the surrounding properties; and
- The strict application of the provision in question is unreasonable or unnecessary for the specific use, design or site proposal given the nature of the proposal or alternate measures proposed by the applicant; or
- The property has extraordinary or exceptional physical conditions that do not generally exist on nearby property in the same zone and such conditions will not allow strict compliance with the provisions of this Chapter.

- Approval Procedure. Land shall be placed in a PDO Zone pursuant to a Zoning Map amendment as set forth in CZC 12.21.080 of this Title. The following shall be submitted in conjunction with an application for a Zoning Map amendment:
- An Existing Conditions Inventory as required by CZC 12.50; and
- A conceptual site plan as provided in CZC 12.21.110.
- Approval Criteria. Submittal of an application for a PDO Zone does not guarantee that the zone or a conceptual site plan will be approved. A Zoning Map amendment and conceptual site plan may be approved only if the City Council, after receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission, finds:
- The proposed PDO Zone and associated conceptual site plan:
- Does not conflict with any applicable policy of the General Plan;
- Meets the purpose and intent of this Chapter as set forth in CZC 12.41.010;
- Allows integrated planning and design of the property and, on the whole, better development than would be possible under conventional zoning regulations;
- Meets the use and development limitations and other requirements of the zone with which the PDO Zone is combined, except as otherwise allowed by this Chapter;
- Meets the density limitations of the General Plan; and
- If a residential density bonus is authorized, provides superior site design and increased amenities, as provided in CZC 12.41.080(c), which ameliorate the potential impact of increased density; and
- The applicant has:
- Sufficient control over the property to be developed to ensure development will occur as approved;
- The financial capability to carry out the planned development project; and
- The capability to start construction within one year of final plan approval.
- Imposition of Conditions. In order to make findings necessary to approve a PDO Zone, conditions of approval may be imposed on a conceptual site plan to assure the planned development will:
- Accomplish the purpose of this Chapter;
- Be developed as one integrated land use rather than as an aggregation of individual and unrelated buildings and uses; and
- Meet the requirements of the zone in which the proposed development is located except as such requirements are modified by this Chapter and as shown on an approved conceptual site plan for the planned development.
- Site Plan Approval. Within 12 months after approval of a PDO Zone and a corresponding conceptual site plan, and before the issuance of any building permit, an applicant shall obtain approval of final site plan pursuant to CZC 12.21.110.
- A planned development may be constructed in phases as shown on an approved conceptual site plan. In such case, a final site plan shall be submitted for each phase in accordance with the provisions of this Section. A complete application for each phase shall be submitted within one year from the previous phase approval.
- Upon request and for good cause, the Planning Commission may extend for 12 months for one time only the period for filing a final site plan. If this time requirement is not met, the conceptual site plan approval shall be deemed revoked. If no final site plan has been submitted or developed, the property may be rezoned to remove the PDO Zone. A request for extension must be submitted before expiration of the time to file a final site plan.
- Subdivision Requirements. An application for subdivision approval may proceed concurrently with an application for a planned development. Compliance with the requirements of this Chapter does not exempt any applicant from meeting the requirements of CMC 15 (Subdivisions) except as may be modified pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter.
- Construction Limitations. Upon approval of a final site plan for a planned development, construction shall proceed in accordance with approved plans and specifications, and in conformity with any conditions associated with preliminary plan or site plan approval. No permit shall be issued for any proposed building, structure or use within a planned development unless such building, structure or use accords with the approved preliminary plan and final site plan and with any conditions imposed in conjunction with such approvals.
- Amendments. Amendments to approved plans and specifications shall be obtained by following the procedure required for preliminary plan approval.

- The yield plan shall consider information shown on an Existing Conditions Inventory prepared for the subject property and shall demonstrate that any sensitive lands identified thereon can be successfully included within open space areas or as part of lots without disturbing the health or safety of City residents. At least one-half of the minimum area required for each lot shall be exclusive of wetlands, floodplains, and slopes exceeding 20%.
- The yield plan shall be drawn to scale, but need not be based on a field survey. Each yield plan shall, however, exhibit a realistic layout reflecting a development pattern that could reasonably be expected to be implemented, taking into account the presence of wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes, existing easements and other encumbrances on the property identified by the natural resource inventory and the requirements of this Title, CMC 15 (Subdivisions), and any other regulatory requirements applicable to the property.
- The Zoning Administrator shall review the yield and shall determine whether the plan accurately reflects the requirements of this Subsection. If not, the Zoning Administrator may amend the yield plan as needed to achieve conformance with the provisions of this Subsection.
- Density Bonus. The City Council, after receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission, may authorize a density bonus of up to 20% above the base density for a residential planned development. The purpose of a density bonus is to provide an incentive to an applicant to provide amenities that are not required by this Chapter or the applicable underlying zone, and which otherwise would not be provided. Provided, however, that base density plus any density bonus shall not exceed the applicable density limitation of the General Plan.
- The basis for granting a density bonus shall be included in the findings required to approve a planned development set forth in CZC 12.41.080(b).

- Requirements for all Lots. Every lot in the Hillside Overlay Zone shall have at least 5,000 square feet of contiguous space which has a slope of less than 30%. This space may be no less than 50 feet wide at any given point. This buildable area must be undisturbed or virgin slope. Certain limited hillside areas may be considered as either natural or man-made "anomalies" such as gravel pit operations or other artificial disturbances based upon size, location, and history of slope, and may be included within the buildable area as may be recommended by the Planning Commission. Lots shall allow dwelling structures to be located within 250 feet of a public street. All main and accessory buildings shall be built on the buildable area.
- Density for Single-Family Lots. The minimum lot size and yard requirements of the underlying zone shall apply to all lots in the Hillside Overlay Zone. In residential zones, all lots located within slope areas greater than 10% and less than 15% shall require a minimum of 80 feet at the setback line, and all lots within slope areas of 15% or greater shall require a minimum lot width of 100 feet at the setback line. In agricultural zones, all lots located within slope areas greater than 10% and less than 15% shall require a minimum lot width of 100 feet at the setback line, and all lots within slope areas of 15% or greater shall require a minimum lot width of 125 feet at the setback line.
- Lot Density for Planned Unit Developments and Dwelling Groups. The density limitations for the underlying zone shall apply except where, under a conditional use permit, the Planning Commission determines that additional buildable area, lot size, yard requirements or other condition is needed. All buildings shall be built on the buildable area. All dwelling units shall be built within 250 feet of a public street, or private street that has been approved by the Planning Commission. Dwellings and accessory structures may not occupy more than 40% of the lot area in any hillside area.
- Maximum Impervious Material Coverage. Except as otherwise provided herein, the maximum allowable coverage of a lot in the Hillside Overlay Zone by impervious material shall be 40% of the total lot area, or 5,000 square feet, whichever is less. The maximum allowable impervious material coverage of a lot may be allowed to exceed 5, 000 square feet as an exception upon recommendation of the City Engineer and approval of the applicable land use authority for the subject application (i.e. subdivision, site plan, or building permit), as follows:
- Lots less than 10% slope may increase 60%

- Scope. The development standards and provisions set forth in this Section shall be required in connection with all building and construction in the Hillside Overlay Zone.
- Drainage and Erosion. The area of the watershed shall be used to determine the amount of storm water runoff generated before and after construction.
- The "Rational Method" or other storm water computation method as approved by the City Engineer shall be used in computing runoff. The basic formula for the "Rational Method" is:
Q = CIA in which:
Q = Runoff in cubic feet per second (c.f.s.)
C = Coefficient of runoff or the portion of storm water that runs off a given area.
The following are typical examples of land use ranges for C value. The actual C value used shall be approved by the City Engineer.
Type of Development | Runoff Coefficient |
Industrial & Commercial | .80 — .90 |
Residential | .30 — .40 |
Parks | .15 — .25 |
Agricultural | .10 — .20 |
I = Average rainfall intensity during time of concentration for 10 year return period in inches per hour. The time of concentration shall be defined as the time required for water to flow from the most remote point of the section under consideration.
A = Drainage area in acres.
- Maps of the development site at the scale of 1" = 200' shall be provided by the developer to the City Engineer defining the boundaries of any 100 year flood plain and the limits of the watershed.
- Lots shall be arranged so as to insure adequate setbacks from drainage channels. The 100 year storm shall be that basis for calculating setbacks. All structures shall comply with CMC 9.8 (Flood Damage Prevention).
- Facilities for the collection of storm water runoff shall be required to be constructed on development sites and according to the following requirements:
- Such facilities shall be the first improvements or facilities constructed on the development site.
- Such facilities shall be designed so as to detain safely and adequately the maximum expected storm water runoff for a 10 year storm, not to exceed 0.2 cubic feet per second per acre or at a flow rate higher than the flow rate before construction, whichever is less, on the development site, for a sufficient length of time so as to prevent flooding and erosion during storm water runoff flow periods.
- Such facilities shall be so designed as to divert surface water away from cut faces or sloping surfaces of a fill.
- The existing natural drainage system will be utilized to the extent possible in its unimproved state.
- Where drainage channels are required, wide shallow swales lined with appropriate vegetation shall be used instead of cutting narrow, deep drainage ditches.
- Flow retarding devices, such as detention ponds and recharge berms, shall be used where practical to minimize increases in runoff volume and peak flow rate due to development. Areas which have shallow or perched groundwater or areas that are unstable must be given additional consideration.
- Construction on the development site shall be of a nature that will minimize the disturbance of vegetation cover.
- Erosion control measures on the development site shall be required to minimize the increased solids loading in runoff from such areas. The detailed design system to control storm water erosion during and after construction shall be contained in the Grading and Drainage Report described in CZC 12.42.030.
- Grading, Cuts, Fills, Vegetation and Revegetation.
- The developer/builder is responsible for interim stabilization of all disturbed areas during the period of construction to prevent erosion off-site effects and for final stabilization once construction is completed.
- Exposed unstable surfaces of an excavation or fill shall not be steeper than one vertical to two horizontal (1:2), unless stabilized by approved means.
- All fill slopes shall be located so that settlements, slidings, or erosions shall not damage or cover streets, curb, gutter, sidewalks or buildings.
- All fill and degrees of compaction shall comply with the standards of the Construction Codes.
- The top and bottom edges of slopes caused by an excavation or fill up to 10 vertical feet shall be at three horizontal feet from any public right-of-way line.

- All structures except retaining walls or soil stabilization improvements shall have a setback from the crest of the fill or base of the cut of a minimum distance equal to the depth of the fill or the height of the cut, unless a structurally sound retaining wall is built for the cut or fill slope. Retaining walls may be a part of the dwelling unit.
- Retaining walls shall be used to retain existing slope or graded slope as may be approved by the City Engineer. The height of necessary and approved retaining walls shall be a maximum of eight feet. Extensive "rear yard" retaining walls built for the purpose of leveling a yard by backfilling, are expressly prohibited.
- All areas of development sites cleared of natural vegetation in the course of construction of off-site improvements shall be replanted with vegetation which has good erosion control characteristics.
- New plantings shall be protected with mulch material and fertilized when in conjunction with planting and watering schedule.
- Persons or firms having expertise in the practice of revegetation (i.e., licensed landscape architects or nurserymen) shall supervise the planning and installation of revegetation cover for the total development site.
- Vegetation shall be removed only when absolutely necessary (e.g., for the construction of buildings, roads and filled areas), as approved by the City Engineer.
- Where permanent roads or roadbeds are to be used during construction and storm water inlets have already been installed, they shall be protected to prevent sediment laden water entering the storm water system.
- Geology.
- Structures may not be built within a minimum of 50 feet of a center line of a zone of deformation with respect to known active faults. The Planning Commission may reduce the required setback provided herein from faults that are determined to be secondary, or a lesser significant classified deformation area, upon receiving recommendation from the City Engineer and based upon a geotechnical/geologic report submitted by the applicant. In no event shall the fault line setback be reduced to less than 30 feet from the center line of the fault or zone of deformation. If reduction is approved, a plat note and delineation of the fault line and deformation area shall be provided on the subdivision plat. The Planning Commission may also require a notice of geologic hazard and/or a waiver of liability agreement to be provided by the applicant in a form acceptable to the City. The zone of deformation is defined as area of variable width adjacent to a fault where it is determined that ground rupture is likely to occur. A greater setback may be required by the City where deemed necessary to protect public health and safety. Off-site improvement design will be reviewed and approved or denied by the City Engineer.
- No structures or off-site improvements shall be allowed on any area known to be an active landslide area, verified by the City Engineer or State Geologist.
- Problems associated with development on or near perched ground water and shallow ground water must be mitigated.
- No structures shall be allowed in any rockfall zone. Off-site improvements may be allowed through special approval by the Planning Commission.
- Fire Protection.
- Areas without a recognized water supply should meet special requirements and may be approved on an individual basis.
- All water, sewer and utilities must be installed in accordance with CMC 15 (Subdivisions).
- Each development site proposal and building permit application for private lots, where the front setback is greater than 50 feet, shall be reviewed by the South Davis Metro Fire District to determine whether it complies with the Fire Code and applicable Construction Codes, but not limited to, provisions regarding Access Roadways for Fire Apparatus. Developments which do not comply with Fire Code or applicable Construction Codes as determined by the South Davis Metro Fire District, shall not be approved.
- Street and Ways.
- The City Standards and Specifications for streets shall apply to all development in the Hillside Overlay Zone, except where conditions related to proper development of hillside areas necessitate altering these standards as described below and elsewhere in this Title. Any such exception must be approved by the City Council upon recommendation of the Planning Commission and City Engineer.
- Streets, roadways and private access ways shall follow as nearly as possible the natural terrain and shall not cross slopes greater than 30% unless so recommended by the City Engineer and approved by the Planning Commission.
- Design Requirements:
Exception | Normal | Permissible |
Minor road and turn cul-de-sac right-of-way width | 50' minimum | 40' minimum except |
Minor road and cul-de-sac length | 400' maximum | 600' maximum |
Minor road and sidewalk cul-de-sac radius | 50' minimum | 40' minimum if sidewalk and parkstrip improvements are waived |

- Points of access shall be provided to all developed and non-developed acres for emergency and fire fighting equipment. Double access points shall be encouraged and shall be required for developments in excess of 20 lots.
- Development sites which are located near well established canyon trails will provide reasonable access to those trails. Parking areas may be required by the Planning Commission at trail heads.
- The maximum amount of impervious surface for streets and ways shall be 20% of the entire development site.
- Variations of the street design standards developed to solve special hillside visual and functional problems may be presented to the Planning Commission for consideration. Examples of such variations may be the use of split roadways to avoid deep cuts, one-way streets, modifications of surface drainage for curb, gutter and sidewalk design and other innovative designs for hillside development.
- The maximum grade of such streets or rights-of-way shall be 12% except as hereafter provided.
- The City Council after receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission may grant approval for the construction of such streets or rights-of-way having a grade exceeding 12%, but the grade of such streets shall not, in any event, exceed 15% for a distance of more than 200 feet.
- Roads shall be designed to meet the road base, asphalt, and compaction standards set forth in the City Standards and Specifications.
- Architectural Design.
- The design of buildings proposed for construction in the Hillside Overlay Zone is encouraged to be visually compatible with the natural beauty of the foothills and canyon areas. The use of building materials in colors that will blend harmoniously with the natural settings is suggested.
- The Planning Commission may review the design and comment on the specified exterior materials and colors for all structures other than single-family dwellings. Prohibition of cedar shake roofing materials, the installation of chimney screens and sprinkling systems, as well as other fire protection measures may be required by the Planning Commission as may be recommended by the South Davis Metro Fire District.
- All fences located on slopes of 30% or greater shall be dark brown or black vinyl coated chain link fence to blend in with the native landscaping. The following types of fences shall be prohibited from 30% slopes: uncoated chain link, masonry, block, wood, vinyl, or other sight obscuring materials. All fences on lots within the Hillside Overlay Zone shall conform to other fence regulations with respect to setback and height, as provided in this Title.
- Completion of Improvements. All public improvements, utilities, and other on-site or off-site improvements required to be completed by developer or property owner prior to obtaining a building permit must be completed within 18 months from the effective date of final approval. All on-site and off-site improvements shall be completed in accordance with the development site approval and applicable Centerville Municipal Ordinances.
- Bond. In addition to the provisions requiring the posting of a bond as set forth in CMC 15 (Subdivisions), the developer or property owner may be required by the City Council (as a condition to receiving a building permit) to guarantee the completion of revegetation projects, the stabilization of grading sites, cuts and fills and construction of storm water runoff facilities, and the construction of recreation space as required in this Section. If such bond is required, it shall be in an amount equal to the cost of construction of such projects as determined by the City.
- Earthquake and Natural Hazard Acknowledgment. All owners of lots in the Hillside Overlay Zone must sign an acknowledgment of hazards and risk associated with land use in this area prior to the issuance of a building permit for any dwelling or accessory building.

The Centerville SMSC Overlay Zone is designed to implement the goals and objectives of the South Main Street Corridor Plan of the General Plan adopted by the City and set forth in Section 12-480-7 of the General Plan. The SMSC Overlay Zone is organized around the following Sections:
- South Main Street Subdistricts Regulating Plan
- Building Form and Site Layout Standards
- Streetscape (Public Space) Standards and related amenities.
HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
The SMSC Overlay Zone Regulating Plan consists of the Subdistrict Map, the Building Form and Site Layout Envelope Standards, and the Public Space Standards. The map of the SMSC Overlay Zone designates the boundary extents of the six Subdistricts within the SMSC Overlay Zone, where each Subdistrict has associated building form and site envelope standard(s) and its related public space elements
, is set forth in CZC 12.48.300.
The regulating plan is the key to show the locations of the different building sites and how they relate to the SMSC Overlay Zone in which they are located and its relation to other lots and subdistricts along the corridor.
The map may be amended from time to time pursuant to and in conjunction with any application for an amendment to the Zoning Map regarding the SMSC Overlay Zone location. The Building Form and Site Envelope and Public Space Standards may be amended from time to time pursuant to an application for a Zoning Code amendment.
HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
- The following regulations and standards establish the parameters that guide the form of building within the SMSC Overlay Zone, including the site envelope for building placement. They direct and control the building envelope and site in regard to configuration, orientation, function, and features that define and shape the public realm. The technique of the standards is to use private buildings to define and shape the public space in a manner that makes it attractive. The standards are designed to use a minimum level of control to meet this goal.
- The Regulating Plan identifies six specific Subdistricts within the overall SMSC Overlay Zone. Within these Subdistricts, seven unique lot types have been identified and development regulations established for each unique type. Unique lot types within the SMSC Overlay Zone are as follows:
- Corner Gateway Lot
- Civic/Cultural Lot
- City Center Main Street Lot
- Traditional Main Street Lot
- Traditional House Lot
- TND/Mixed-Use Lot
- Brownstone/Live-Work Lot
- Unique lot types may occur in more than one of the six SMSC Overlay Zone Subdistricts, and the building envelope standards for each lot type shall apply to all such lots within the SMSC Overlay Zone. The various lot types and related development standards allowed for each of the Subdistricts are defined in the Lot Type Illustrations set forth in CZC 12.48.350. The development specifications for the various lot types include provisions for Height, Siting, and other Elements. Additionally, “Character Examples” are provided to depict simply context of the style and not the actual design height, or exterior materials of buildings. The development specifications for each lot type are designed to address the following:
- Height:
- The height of the principal building is measured in stories, with the maximum height indicated in feet.
- The maximum height is measured from the Main Street grade (i.e. top back of curb) to the top of the roof.
- Street wall or landscaping heights are relative to the adjacent sidewalk, or the ground elevation when not fronting a sidewalk.
- Siting:
- Buildings shall only occupy the specified area of the lot, as indicated on the site plans and in relation to the required building range and setbacks.
- The street frontage for corner lots shall apply to that portion of the building facing Main Street only.
- Elements:
- The primary or main wall portion of the building’s street façade that is required to be built to the Required Building Range (RBR) shall be composed as a simple plane, with interruptions only by windows, stoops or front porches, balconies, and storefronts. Recessed entry doorways are also acceptable and count toward the required built-to percentage.
- Off-street parking for vehicles shall not occupy any space in front of a building on the building lot. Parking areas located to the side of a structure where space allows shall be located at least 10 feet back from the back of the sidewalk.
HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
- Within the SMSC Overlay Zone, the building form, scale, mass, and uses need to be interrelated with the streetscape to encourage interaction with one another. Therefore, the expected parking lot configuration and space calculations need to be revised and even reduced to provide the impetus such for interaction.
- Parking lots and their placement shall meet the following requirements:
- Parking lots are permitted only in side and rear yards as follows:
- All parking areas shall be setback a minimum of 10 feet from the front lot (property) line of the building lot.
- When parking is located in a side yard and has frontage along a public right-of-way, no more than 25% of the total site frontage or 60 feet, whichever is less, shall be occupied by the parking lot (See Figure 1 of this Section).
- For a corner lot, the building shall be located at the corner of the lot adjacent to the intersection. The cumulative total of both frontages occupied by parking shall be no more than 25% or 60 feet, whichever is less.
- For a corner lot that has frontages on three streets, the building shall be located at the corner adjacent to the intersection. The cumulative total of the primary and secondary streets frontages occupied by parking shall be no more than 25% or 60 feet, whichever is less.
- A side yard parking lot may not be located adjacent to another side yard parking lot on an adjoining lot. Rear lots may be located adjacent to another parking area and shall be designed to allow through traffic between parking areas.
- Where an off-street parking lot is visible from the street in a side-yard, it shall be screened by either a two foot tall screen wall or 18 inch seat wall located between the parking lot and the sidewalk. Where a parking lot is adjacent to a single-family residential district, a three foot screen wall and landscaping, sufficient to screen up to the headlight level of vehicles, shall be located between the residential use and the parking lot.
- Where a parking structure is provided or parking is located on the ground level and/or below the upper stories of the building, usable building floor space to a depth of a minimum of 20 feet shall be provided in front of the parking area, along the street frontage, for the entire length of the building.
- Official government approved on-street parking located along a lot’s frontage may be credited toward meeting the parking requirements for that use.
- Driveway access to off-street parking lots shall be located to provide safe separation from street intersections. Driveways shall be aligned with driveways on the opposite side of the street or offset to avoid turning movement conflicts. Two-way driveways shall be a minimum width of 24 feet. If feasible, driveways shall not be located within 40 feet of a corner.
- New driveway accesses shall not be established onto Main Street. Exceptions shall be recognized and allowed as follows:
- For an existing legally created lot where the side and rear of the lot are not adjacent to a street and there are no other opportunities to provide needed access to the property.
- An existing legally created access is being moved to another location to meet the parking placements of this Chapter.
- An existing legally created access or accesses are being combined together to establish an access that meets the parking placements of this Chapter.
- An existing legally created access or accesses are being expanded, pursuant to obtaining a Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) approval.
- Driveways and driveway lanes may be combined for adjacent developments and shall be subject to recordation of shared access easements for between the adjacent lots.
- Parking may be allowed off-site according to joint use agreements or use of shared parking districts, subject to CZC 12.52.110 regarding Parking Modifications.
- CZC 12.48.310 regarding the SMSC Off-Street Parking Modifications Table shall be used to modify the minimum amount of parking spaces required by CZC 12.52.300 regarding the Off-Street Parking Schedule.

- Intent and Purpose.
- The Main Street Commercial District is defined as any commercially zoned land on Main Street south of Parrish Lane to Pages Lane. This area is considered to be an architecturally, aesthetically and historically sensitive area within the City.
- The Pages Lane Commercial District is defined as the area south of Pages Lane on Main Street to the City boundary and along Pages Lane from Main Street to 400 East. The Pages Lane Commercial District is more retail in nature and less fragmented than the Main Street Commercial District, but is also considered to be a sensitive area within the City subject to the same sign regulations as the Main Street Commercial District.
- The intent of this Section is that signs for these small, specialized Commercial Districts should be different than the more intensive, gateway areas of the City. The major objective of sign regulations for Main Street and Pages Lane Commercial Districts is to eventually convert many free-standing signs to low-profile (monument) signs while allowing some flexibility in permitting existing free-standing signs to be altered, changed or relocated. Because some properties on Main Street and Pages Lane may have physical constraints that may create an undue burden regarding strict compliance with the requirements of this Section, a special exception to certain provisions in this Section may be authorized.
- Signs Permitted. In addition to the signs permitted in all zones, the following signs shall be allowed in the Main Street and Pages Lane Commercial Districts subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Section. Such signs may include any lawful commercial or non-commercial message.
- Wall Sign. Wall signs are the preferred form of identification for businesses in the City. The total sign area of all such signs on a primary or main wall, facade, or building elevation facing the street shall be limited to 15% of the vertical wall area to which the sign is attached. The total sign area of any sign on a secondary wall or facade shall be limited to 5% of the wall or facade area to which the sign is attached. The total sign area of any sign on the remaining building elevations (other than the primary and secondary walls) shall not exceed a maximum combined total of 32 square feet, as set forth in CZC 12.54.080.
- Projecting Sign. A locally or nationally recognized historic building may have one projecting sign on the primary building elevation fronting a street. A projecting sign shall:
- Have a total area of not more than 24 square feet;
- Project no further than four feet from a wall;
- Allow at least 10 feet of clearance above a sidewalk and 14 feet above any driveway or vehicular right-of-way; and
- Not project above the roof cornice or parapet of a building.
- Awnings, canopies, fascias and marquees shall be considered part of the building and are regulated in accordance with the general sign standards set forth in CZC 12.54.060.
- Low-Profile Sign. One low-profile sign shall be allowed for each separately owned commercial lot or parcel with a single tenant building in the Main Street and Pages Lane Commercial Districts subject to the following requirements:
- Each lot or parcel shall have at least 30 feet of street frontage.
- Each low-profile sign shall have at least a one foot high opaque pedestal designed as part of the foundation which conceals pole support.
- The pedestal for a low-profile sign shall run at least 50% of the horizontal length of the sign and there shall be no exposed space between the ground and the pedestal.
- The sign portion of a low-profile sign shall not exceed five feet for a total sign height of six feet. The height to the top of the sign may vary depending upon landscaping, but the combined height of the sign and berming and/or landscaping shall not exceed nine feet as measured from the nearest top back of curb. The entire frontage shall be randomly bermed for this to occur, not just where the sign is to be placed.
- A low-profile sign shall be located at least three feet from any adjacent property line and at least 35 feet from another low-profile sign.
- A corner lot with more than one street frontage may have one low-profile sign for each frontage which is 30 feet or more.
- The area of a low-profile sign shall not exceed one-half square foot of area for every one linear foot of street frontage with a minimum 16 square feet and a maximum of 80 square feet for any such sign.
- Additional Signage for Multiple-Tenant Buildings and Lots. In addition to the signage permitted under Subsection (3), a separately-owned lot or parcel with more than one tenant building and/or with a multiple-tenant building or buildings shall be permitted to have one additional low-profile sign as follows:
- The area of such sign shall be limited to one-half square foot of area for every one linear foot of street frontage with a minimum 16 square feet and a maximum of 80 square feet for any such sign.
- Changeable copy and electronic message areas shall occupy not more than 50% of the total sign area allowed.

- Purpose and Intent. In order to minimize confusion and unfair competitive disadvantage to those businesses which are required to satisfy current standards of this Chapter, the City intends to apply firm regulation of existing nonconforming signs with a view to their eventual elimination. This goal shall be achieved by strictly construing limits on change, expansion, alteration, abandonment, and restoration of nonconforming signs.
- Alterations. Excluding normal maintenance and repair, a nonconforming sign shall not be moved, altered, (including face changes) or enlarged unless it is brought into complete compliance with the provisions of this Chapter.
- Exemptions. The following alterations shall be exempt from the provisions of this Subsection:
- Face changes in a nonconforming center marquee/ directory sign.
- Face changes in a nonconforming commercial sign where:
- The business remains in the same ownership;
- The business retains the same name and use but ownership changes hands;
- The business changes name and ownership but the new use on the site is compatible and considered to be in the same category as the previous use in the new building; i.e. a fast food vacates a building and the new business is another fast food outlet; and
- Copy changes in a nonconforming permanent sign which was originally approved by the City with a changeable copy feature.
- Abandonment. Within 180 calendar days after vacation of an existing business, any on-site nonconforming sign shall be removed or brought into compliance by the property owner. If removal does not occur, the City may have the entire nonconforming sign, (both face and structure) removed as provided in CZC 12.23.070.

- Nomination. The Landmarks Commission, with the approval of the property owner of record and a final recommendation by the City Council, may prepare, assist, or submit nominations for select historic assets to the National Register of Historic Places. Submittals shall follow all state and national nomination requirements.
- Purpose. The National Register is an official national list of structures considered worthy of preservation because they tell something important about a City’s past. Such importance can be at the state or local level, not just the national level. A National Register designation means a property has been officially recognized for its historic value and its preservation is encouraged.
- Benefits. The benefits of National Register listing include assistance and information concerning the preservation of the structure, possible grants for repairs or improvements, and eligibility for federal and state rehabilitation tax credits.
- Owner Obligation. A listing in the National Register does not interfere with a private property owner's right to alter, manage, or even demolish the listed property.
- Steps for Listing. The general steps for a historic asset in obtaining a listing on the National Register are as follows:
- Researching the property and its past and current owners, this includes an intensive level survey following the State Historic Preservation Office criteria.
- Documenting the property's physical appearance with photographs and floor plan drawings and measurements.
- Completion of the official National Registration form.
- Following a review by the Landmarks Commission, and approval from the property owner of record, the application shall be forwarded to the City Council for a final recommendation prior to submittal. A completed nomination shall be submitted to the State Historic Preservation office for review and submittal to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places.
- Designation Optional. A designation of a historic asset on the National Register is not required for listing on the City’s Significant Historic Sites List or the Historic Area Register. However, it is strongly encouraged that any historic asset listed on the City’s local registers, also make application to be on the National Register to take advantage of federal and state programs to assist with the continued preservation of such asset.
- Designation Required. A designation of a historic asset on the National Register is required for listing on the City’s Historic Landmark Register.

Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
- Articulation.
- A building should reflect a human scale and be inviting to the public. Large buildings shall be "stepped", both vertically and horizontally, to break up the building mass and provide aesthetic relief.
- Buildings shall be accessible for pedestrians and public transit users, not just for people driving private automobiles.
- Building entrances shall be identifiable and directly accessible from public sidewalks via on-site pedestrian walkways. (Drive aisles and other vehicular accesses shall not be considered pedestrian walkways).
- Pedestrian walkways shall have at least five feet of unobstructed width, and shall be part of an approved pedestrian circulation plan.
- A controlled physical environment discourages criminal activities. All buildings shall have proper security lighting, and developers should consider other security measures such as security hardware, surveillance equipment, and security-oriented building designs.
- Public Amenities.
- Overhangs and canopies should be integrated into the building design so as to enhance pedestrian walkways.
- Comfortable and attractive amenities such as benches, tables, drinking fountains, trash receptacles, information kiosks, plazas, fountains, etc., should be provided for public enjoyment and comfort.
- Where necessary, bus shelters should be incorporated into the building and/or site design and meet the criteria of the State transit authority.
- All building access and site amenities should be accessible to the physically disabled and shall comply with applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Colors and Materials.
- All applications for site plan review of construction within the Parrish Lane Gateway Area shall include a "storyboard" with samples of the colors and materials to be used on-site. "Storyboard" materials should harmonize with existing, surrounding development
- Buildings should be constructed primarily of cement block, brick, or similar maintenance-free material.

HISTORY
Adopted by Ord. 2016-20 on 7/15/2016
- Overall Design Concepts.
- At least 15% of the gross site area shall be landscaped. Dedicated walkways, plazas, and other pedestrian oriented hardscape areas may be included as landscaping, provided that they do not exceed 15% of the required minimum landscaping requirement. As used herein, hardscape means sidewalks, urban trails, plazas, and other non-vegetative construction located in areas designated as landscaping.
- The landscaping plan of each site shall be unified both internally and externally, and relate to the larger context of the surrounding community. All landscape plans should consider the site's history and its unique contribution to the character of the community.
- The landscaping plan shall include a pedestrian circulation element that shows interconnectivity with surrounding sidewalks, urban trails, and surrounding uses. The city encourages appropriate pedestrian connections to adjacent neighborhoods.
- The size and spacing of landscape elements should be consistent with the size of the project and should relate to any identifiable streetscape. The landscaping should also enhance the textural qualities of the structure and provide variety and interest.
- Coordinating the landscape design with the placement of utility elements helps to mitigate their impact and reduce the potential for conflicts. Proper landscape design shall be utilized to mitigate the visual impact of all site utility elements such as overhead power lines, transformers, meter boxes, backflow preventers, fire protection devices, etc.
- Trees adjacent to pedestrian walkways shall have a general canopy clearance of at least seven feet.
- Site Grading.
- Site design should minimize the removal of mature trees and other existing mature vegetation. Where removal is necessary, mature trees should be salvaged or replaced on a three for one basis. Any trees prohibited by resolution, ordinance, or statute shall not be replaced.
- Abrupt or unnatural changes in grade may create barriers or disrupt drainage patterns. Proposed grading should be designed to take advantage of the natural grade and land features.
- Steep slopes, generally 3:1 or greater, shall be stabilized with vegetation, retaining walls, or other appropriate measures. Sites shall be designed to minimize erosion.
- Landscape plans shall preserve and incorporate natural land features such as streams, washes, springs, etc., into the overall site plan.
- Drainage.
- Surface water, site drainage, and storm water detention should be integrated with overall landscape design. Whenever possible, detention areas should be designed as usable open space.
- Drainage requirements shall be assessed based on City drainage standards and individual site characteristics.
- Groundcover (Living and Nonliving).
- Future development sites should receive temporary landscaping treatments to provide dust and weed control, and to prevent erosion. For phased projects, property being reserved for future development should be landscaped using water-conserving plant material or other alternative conservation methods that control dust and weed nuisances.
- Less than 75% of softscaped landscaping area should be planted in turf or high water-use plants. Functional turf areas in parks, schools, multiple-family residential developments, golf courses, shall be exempt from this requirement. As used herein, softscape means living plants and organic materials located in areas of landscaping.
- Plant Materials.
- Plant materials shall be selected as provided in CZC 12.51 (Landscaping and Screening).
- Pedestrian safety and comfort should be considered when selecting trees and plant material.
- Water conservation and community image should be important criteria for plant material selection.
- Water Elements.
- Water features can provide relief from summer temperatures, but should be used sparingly with every attempt made to limit the amount of water used. The City should project an image of using its limited water resources as efficiently as possible for the benefit of its citizens.
- Fountains and other water features should be sited and designed so that they are and also appear to be efficient users of water.
- Water features should cool the surrounding area and mask objectionable noises.
- Water features should be designed to maximize the amount of water recycled, to minimize the amount of make-up water required, and should be designed using equipment which will minimize leakage throughout the life of the water feature.
- Where there is a significant risk of over-spray, wind shut-off valves should be incorporated into the system.
- Water features, including fountains, should be sited to allow significant environmental enhancement primarily to on-site and incidentally to off-site users and to minimize water consumption. Filtered backwash effluent should be discharged into landscaped areas.
- Art and Furnishings.
- Public art creates a greater impact if integrated into the overall design of a site. If public art is used, it should be integrated into the overall design of a project.
- Compatible lighting fixtures and other appurtenances help to reinforce the design theme of a project. Lighting fixtures and illumination should be of similar design and character as the project's building components.
- Street furniture and related features are encouraged.
- Maintenance.
- Maintenance issues can often be mitigated by good design and planning. Projects should demonstrate that maintenance factors have been considered in the landscape design.
- Maintenance specifications can facilitate the achievement of the design intent as the project matures. During the site plan and design review process, the applicant shall submit a program for the intended maintenance of the landscape.
- An efficient irrigation system will control growth and reduce maintenance costs. Irrigation systems should be designed to minimize maintenance and water consumption.
- Undeveloped portions of sites often become unsightly and hazardous due to lack of proper maintenance. Phased developments shall indicate a mechanism for dust, weed and debris control on undeveloped portions of the site and shall ensure continuing compliance.

- Surface Parking Design.
- Five percent of the gross parking surface area shall be of dispersed interior landscaping, designed so as to reduce the "heat island" effect and to enhance the aesthetics of a parking area. The following are acceptable interior landscaping designs (See Figure
12-63-1. Conceptual Parking Layout):
- Five feet by five feet tree diamonds placed not more than six parking spaces apart and located at the intersection of parking space striping. Tree diamonds shall be used only with 90 degree parking spaces;
- Five foot landscaped medians with trees planted 40 feet apart; or
- Other similar designs that disperse landscaping throughout a parking area as reasonably determined by the Planning Commission.
- Parking areas should be buffered from adjacent residential property and screened from streets so automobiles are not visible below the average headlight height. Screening methods may include landscaped berms, low walls, and hedges.
- Access drives, internal circulation drives, parking areas, and pedestrian walkways shall be designed to provide safety and convenience for both motorists and pedestrians and to ensure access for the physically disabled. Areas where pedestrian walkways cross driveways shall be constructed of stamped and/or raised concrete, or of other material and design so as to differentiate the area as a pedestrian/vehicle interface.
- Every parking space should be no greater than 150 feet from a sidewalk leading to a building entrance.
- Joint use of parking is encouraged in order to reduce trips. Access to, and the location of, new parking areas should relate to adopted area plans, planned parking in the area, or to existing area parking schemes. The Planning Commission may reduce the minimum required number of parking spaces as provided in CZC 12.52.110(b).
- The number of curb cuts should be minimized and pedestrian access enhanced. Cross-access connections/easements are encouraged.
- Site lighting should be aesthetically attractive, of pedestrian scale, and provide pedestrians with a sense of security.
- All sites shall meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Overall Design Concepts.
- Parking lot design should consider future development on adjacent sites.
- Traffic circulation patterns should direct commercial traffic onto arterial streets and not local/neighborhood streets. Multiple-family residential traffic should be directed onto collector streets.
- Clearly defined buffers enhance the attractiveness of the streetscape and promote pedestrian safety. A site plan should clearly express separation between pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

- Require the carrier to provide, prior to permit issuance, proof to the City that the carrier has acquired sufficient liability insurance as may be required by the City; and
- Name the City as co-beneficiary of the insurance policy.
- Facilities in Historic Districts. Any facility proposed within a historic district or on a landmark site as defined by the City, County, State or the Federal governments shall be approved by a conditional use permit and shall be subject to review by the Landmarks Commission in accordance with CZC 12.67.090.
- Fencing and Screening Requirements. Specific fencing and screening plans for each facility shall be submitted to the City in conjunction with a conditional use permit application. Higher grade fencing, more aesthetic fence designs, and landscaping may be required for the purposes of visual screening, architectural compatibility, site compatibility, and other impact mitigation.
- Monopoles.
- The height of an existing monopole located in a commercial public facility, or industrial zone may be increased if approved by a conditional use permit. No monopole with antennas and antenna support structures shall exceed a height of 100 feet.
- A monopole may be located within 500 linear feet from another monopole if approved by a conditional use permit.
- The maximum height of a monopole with antennas and antenna support structures may be increased if approved by conditional use permit for co-location of a second carrier on an existing monopole. In the event co-location for the second carrier is terminated, the original carrier shall reduce the height of the monopole to its originally approved height within 30 days from the date the second carrier files with the FCC a “Notice to Abandon" the facility. The City shall receive a copy of the “Notice to Abandon” filed with the FCC.
- Non-Flush-Mounted Wall Antennas. A non-flush-mounted wall antenna may extend more than six feet horizontally from the wall surface if approved by a conditional use permit.
- Stealth-Design Antennas and Monopoles. A stealth-design monopole may be located in residential, agricultural, or public facility zones if approved by a conditional use permit. Final determination of the acceptability of a stealth-design antenna or monopole shall be made as part of the conditional use permit process.
- Additional Conditional Use Factors. In addition to conditional use standards outlined in CZC 12.21.100(e), the following factors shall be considered in evaluating an application for a conditional use permit:
- Compatibility of the proposed structure with the height and mass of existing buildings and utility structures;
- For new sites, whether location of the antenna on other existing structures in the same vicinity such as other towers, buildings, water towers, utility poles, athletic field lights, parking lot lights, etc., is possible without significantly impacting antenna transmission or reception;
- Antenna location in relation to existing vegetation, topography, and buildings to obtain the best visual screening; and
- Whether spacing between monopoles creates quantifiable detrimental impacts to adjoining properties.
- If practical difficulties are demonstrated by the applicant or upon detailed demonstration by the applicant that a proposed facility can be effectively screened from the view of nearby sensitive land uses, the Planning Commission may reduce a required setback from a residential zone provided that no pole shall be closer than one and one-half times the height of the pole to any dwelling.

Any lot or parcel located within the SCP Zone or SCP-Mixed Node Zone, as shown on the Zoning Map, or within the Shorelands Commerce Park District as set forth in the General Plan for the West Centerville Neighborhood and/or as defined below, shall be subject to the standards and regulations of this Chapter. Such standards and regulations are intended to be in addition to the existing standards and regulations of the underlying zone of the property and other applicable regulations of this Title.
- Design Standards and Guidelines. This Chapter establishes three kinds of design criteria: design principles, design standards and design guidelines.
- “Design Principles” establish the expected contextual relationship of the built environment to the natural shoreland environment through the use of principles. These principles are not prioritized, but all are to be reinforced through the implementation of design standards and guidelines that are to be applied in planning the site layout and buildings of all developments in the SCP Zone and SCP-Mixed Node Zone.
- “Design Standards” are required in addition to other standards set forth in this Title and are indicated by the verb “shall.” In the event of conflict between the standards of this Chapter and other applicable provisions of this Title, the interpretation and provisions of this Chapter shall govern for all development within the SCP Zone and SCP-Mixed Node Zone.
- “Design Guidelines” indicate additional actions that are to be taken to enhance the development design and achieve greater compatibility of development in the SCP Zone and SCP-Mixed Node Zone. Guidelines thus use the verb “should” signifying that the guidelines are desirable objectives to be achieved but may not be mandatory or possible for every given development situation.
- Shorelands Commerce Park Boundaries. The Shorelands Commerce Park boundary consists of any property that is located in the SCP Zone or SCP-Mixed Node Zone, as shown on the Zoning Map, is depicted in the Shorelands Commerce Park (SCP) or Shorelands Commerce Park — Mixed Node (SCP-Mixed Node) Districts of the West Centerville Neighborhood Plan and/or properties located on the western side of the Legacy Parkway and/or east of Sheep Road.

- Commercial or Mixed Use Building Architecture. Buildings and structures are to enhance the Shorelands Commerce Park by blending into the overall appearance of the shoreland environment, similar in visual allure to what is contextually done in resort areas or lakeshore communities such as Park City, Utah; Lake Tahoe, Nevada/California; or Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
- The architectural building design shall consider the visual relationship to the Legacy Parkway, the local street accesses, and pedestrian pathways, or, where deemed applicable the Legacy Preserve, to create an attractive appearance when viewed from these areas. Loading docks, mechanical equipment, and outdoor storage areas shall be screened from view.
- The materials selection and construction method of structures or buildings shall take into consideration the micro-climate of the shoreland environment. The materials and construction methods shall provide protection of or the ability to withstand high water tables, alkaline conditions, high winds, etc. Selected materials and construction methods may be subjected to the City’s Building Official and/or Engineer for review and input.
- The apparent mass of buildings or structures shall be minimized through design, articulation, and use of materials. An open design is desired that visually and physically breaks up the mass and footprint of buildings. Approaches such as the use of vertical and horizontal planes, roof pitches, roof lines, windows, reveals, and alcoves shall be used to create façade variation, shadows, corners, and architectural interest. A degree of simplicity is desired, and the above approaches should be applied in a manner that is consistent with the building’s form and interior program. Articulation approaches should not appear to be applied randomly or merely a surface treatment. In addition, coordinate any use of multiple articulation approaches to effect a simple design. A 360-degree design shall be used, although secondary sides that are less visually prominent may receive up to a 50% reduction in the amount of articulation used in the building’s approved design.
- All buildings and structures shall be proportional or in scale with other buildings within the immediate vicinity.
- When facades face the Legacy Parkway, a local street, or any pedestrian pathway, or, where deemed applicable the Legacy Preserve, the architectural design shall incorporate windows and functioning entryways that comprise a total minimum of 50% fenestration on that façade. Awnings, canopies, pillars, or other design features shall be used to accent the main facade of the building or structure. Windows and additional elements such as balconies, overhangs, or canopies shall also be incorporated to provide a minimum of 30% fenestration in upper levels of multi-story or vaulted single story buildings and structures to frame and provide a human scale to such buildings.
- Natural or natural-appearing materials, such as stone, cultured stone, and wood, shall be the bold gestures used in the architectural design of all buildings. Decorative concrete or block, tile, cement fiber board, and other similar appearing materials shall be the main materials used in the building design. Metal and glass are allowed as accent materials but shall not comprise the main material of a building. Substantial or prominent use of unnatural/synthetic appearing materials, such as vinyl and plastics is prohibited. Use of these materials shall not exceed 20% of the building or structure’s exterior.
- Colors and finishes shall complement the shoreland environment. The provided color palette set forth in CZC 12.68.300 shall be used as the resource for both primary and accent shoreland environment hues. Stains, flat paints, and matte finishes are required. Reflective or shiny paints and finishes are prohibited.
- Industrial Building Architecture. Industrial buildings and structures must also blend into the overall appearance of the shoreland environment.
- The building design shall consider the visual relationship to the Legacy Parkway, the local street accesses, and pedestrian pathways, or, where deemed applicable the Legacy Preserve, to create an attractive appearance when viewed from these areas. Loading docks, mechanical equipment, and outdoor storage areas shall be screened from view.
- The materials selection and construction method of structures or buildings shall take into consideration the micro-climate of the shoreland environment. The materials and construction methods shall provide protection of or the ability to withstand high water tables, alkaline conditions, high winds, etc. Selected materials and construction methods may be subjected to the City’s Building Official and/or Engineer for review and input.
- The apparent mass of buildings or structures shall be minimized through design, articulation, and use of materials. An open design is desired that visually and physically breaks up the mass and footprint of buildings. Approaches such as the use of vertical and horizontal planes, roof pitches, roof lines, windows, reveals, and alcoves shall be used to create façade variation, shadows, corners, and architectural interest. A degree of simplicity is desired, and the above approaches should be applied in a manner that is consistent with the building’s form and interior program. Articulation approaches should not appear to be applied randomly or merely a surface treatment. In addition, coordinate any use of multiple articulation approaches to effect a simple design. A 360-degree design shall be used, although secondary sides that are less visually prominent may receive up to a 50% reduction in the amount of articulation used in the building’s approved design.
- Where multiple story or vaulted single story buildings (above 22 feet in height) are constructed, the building design shall incorporate single-story heights (of a height under 22 feet in height) for entryways, office space, and other such usable spaces to create a tiered effect to the building.
- All buildings and structures shall be proportional or in scale with other buildings within the immediate vicinity.
- When facades face the Legacy Parkway, a local street, or any pedestrian pathway, or, where deemed applicable the Legacy Preserve, the architectural design shall incorporate windows and functioning entryways that comprise a total minimum of 40% fenestration on that façade. Awnings, canopies, pillars, or other design features shall be used to accent the main facade of the building or structure. Windows and additional elements such as balconies, overhangs, or canopies shall also be incorporated to provide a minimum of 30% fenestration in upper levels of multi-story or vaulted single story buildings and structures to frame and provide a human scale to such buildings.
- Natural or natural-appearing materials, such as stone, cultured stone, and wood, shall be the bold gestures used in the architectural design of all buildings. Decorative concrete or block, tile, cement fiber board, and other similar appearing materials shall be the main materials used in the building design. Metal may be used as a secondary building material in conjunction with one of the above-mentioned main materials. Glass is allowed as an accent material but shall not comprise the main material of a building. Substantial or prominent use of unnatural/synthetic appearing materials, such as vinyl and plastics is prohibited. Use of these accent materials shall not exceed 20% of the building or structure’s exterior.
- Colors and finishes shall complement the shoreland environment. The provided color palette set forth in CZC 12.68.300 shall be used as the resource for both primary and accent shoreland environment hues. Stains, flat paints, and matte finishes are required. Reflective or shiny paints and finishes are prohibited.
- Grading and Drainage. The relatively flat, slow draining, shoreland environment of the area often produces wetland areas and presents a challenge for proper drainage if the land is to be developed. Every effort is to be made to work within the natural drainage patterns of the land and minimize grading that would disrupt the natural system and appearance of the area.
- Minimize the amount of grading of the land to avoid excess erosion, visual scarring, and other similar impacts.
- Blend structures and exterior spaces into the natural contours of the site
- Balance cut and fill on sites to the greatest degree possible
- Man-made contouring shall mimic natural contouring and shall not begin or end with severe or abrupt edges
- Minimize the use and heights of retaining walls and, where utilized, terrace and incorporate or blend them into the design of the building or parking areas and return to the natural grades in the wetland and landscaping areas.
- Utilize natural drainage ways and/or patterns. Direct storm water and other runoff into swales, retention areas, rain gardens (a shallow landscaped depression), and other systems to maximize infiltrations and improve water quality before such water meets up with other water resources.
- Grading and drainage plans shall also implement erosion control measures to ensure that construction activities do not compromise the overall natural drainage patterns and system of the area.
- Landscaping. Landscaping is to be used to enhance the natural shoreland environment and soften the transitions between the built and natural areas.
- All pervious surface areas shall be landscaped. Dedicated walkways, plazas, and other pedestrian oriented hardscape areas may be included as landscaping, provided that they do not exceed 25% of the required minimum landscaping requirement. As used herein, hardscape means sidewalks, concrete or asphalt trails, plazas, and other non-vegetative construction located in areas designated as landscaping.
- The landscaping plan of each site shall be unified both internally and externally, and relate to the larger context of the surrounding community. All landscape plans shall consider the context of the shoreland environment and its unique contribution to the character of the community.
- The landscaping plan shall include a pedestrian circulation element that shows interconnectivity with surrounding sidewalks, trails, and access to open space areas. Each development is to provide appropriate pedestrian connections to usable open space and trail amenities.
- Developed area landscaping shall utilize a mixture of ornamental and native or local climate plantings. Plantings shall include the predominate use of ornamental grasses, shrubs, and wildflowers that complement the shoreland environment. Large areas of annuals and/or bright colors shall be avoided.

Lighting is to be minimized within the Shorelands Commerce Park area and may transition up in intensity as one enters into the others areas of the City.
- Lighting shall generally be used only where it is needed for safety and visibility. Lighting levels shall be scaled back to the minimal levels needed to achieve its purpose. Excessive or over lighting is prohibited.
- Fixtures or elements producing light shall select the correct bulb type to achieve the lowest wattage necessary. Lighting elements shall be hidden or utilize full-cut-off shields to eliminate shining or reflecting up into the night sky and to minimize glare and light trespass beyond area where lighting is needed or onto adjacent properties.
- Self-regulating on and off controls shall be used where lighting is needed periodically, but not continuously and shall be set to their proper operation times.
- Up-lighting shall be used sparingly for accenting architecture, landscaping, and signing. Where up-lighting is used, a narrow angle focused fixture with low wattage lamp shall be used.
- Lighting shall be arranged or directed so as to reflect the light away from adjacent properties and to prevent glare for street traffic. The intensity of light at adjoining residential property shall not exceed 0.1 footcandles.

- Informational or business location kiosks may be allowed in the public right-of-way signing program. Such signs shall conform to the public, highway, or local street program design standards and shall be scaled appropriately to maintain the image of the Shorelands Commerce Park District.
- Residential Building Architecture (SCP-Mixed Node). Residential style and design is to enhance the Shorelands Commerce Park by blending into the overall appearance of the shoreland environment and is to be unique and different in its design and layout as compared to standard elements and materials used in current home construction schemes.
- The building layout and architectural design shall consider the visual relationship to the Legacy Parkway, the local street accesses, pedestrian pathways and open spaces, or, where deemed applicable the Legacy Preserve, to create an attractive appearance when viewed from these areas. Loading docks, mechanical equipment, and outdoor storage areas shall be screened from view.
- The materials selection and construction method of housing units and/or accessory structures shall take into consideration the micro-climate of the shoreland environment. The materials and construction methods shall provide protection of or the ability to withstand high water tables, alkaline conditions, high winds, etc. Selected materials and construction methods may be subjected to the City’s Building Official and/or Engineer for review and input.
- The apparent mass of buildings or structures shall be minimized through design, articulation, and use of materials. An open design is desired that visually and physically breaks up the mass and footprint of buildings. Approaches such as the use of vertical and horizontal planes, roof pitches, roof lines, windows, reveals, and alcoves shall be used to create façade variation, shadows, corners, and architectural interest. A degree of simplicity is desired, and the above approaches should be applied in a manner that is consistent with the building’s form and interior program. Articulation approaches should not appear to be applied randomly or merely a surface treatment. In addition, coordinate any use of multiple articulation approaches to effect a simple design. A 360-degree design shall be used, although secondary sides that are less visually prominent may receive up to a 35% reduction in the amount of articulation used in the building’s approved design.
- When facades face the Legacy Parkway, a local street, or any pedestrian pathway, or, where deemed applicable the Legacy Preserve, the architectural design shall incorporate functional porches, entryways, window boxes, and other such features to accent the building. Additional elements such as balconies and other such overhangs shall also be incorporated in upper levels of multi-story buildings to frame and provide a human scale to such buildings.
- Window glazing on the front façade shall comprise at least 40% of the ground level and 20% of upper levels. Window glazing on all secondary facades of all residential buildings shall comprise at least 20% of the façade on the ground level and 10% on the upper levels. Garage doors shall not occupy more that 40% of the front elevation of all residential development.
- A minimum of 35% of the garages in each subdivision development shall be of non-dominant design. Such non-dominant designs may be, but not limited to, the use of side of home access, shared driveway side of home access, rear yard placement, rear yard/back lot access or other similar appropriate design.
- Natural or natural-appearing materials, such as stone, cultured stone, and wood, shall be the bold gestures used in the architectural design of all residential use buildings. Wood siding, cement fiber board siding, and other similar appearing materials shall be the other main materials used in the design of all residential use sections of such buildings. Substantial or prominent use of synthetic stucco, and unnatural appearing materials, such as metal, vinyl, and plastics are prohibited. Use of such secondary and/or accent materials shall not exceed 20% of the building or structure’s exterior.
- Colors and finishes shall complement the shoreland environment. The provided color palette set forth in CZC 12.68.300 shall be used as the resource for both primary and accent shoreland environment hues. Stains, flat paints, and matte finishes are required. Reflective or shiny paints and finishes are prohibited.
- Residential Development, Yard and Layout Design (SCP-Mixed Node). Residential style yard and layout design is to enhance the appeal of higher density development and to create a pedestrian-friendly local street environment of such development. Due to this mixed-node’s spatial separation from the primary residential areas of the city, the pattern of residential development needs to be unique and different in its design and layout as compared to standard layout and design used in current subdivision development schemes.
- Front yard spaces for residential development shall provide landscaping feature(s) that serve as the bold gestures used in its design and shall comprise a minimum of 25% of the overall landscaping of the front yard area.
- Landscaping feature area plantings shall include the predominate use of ornamental grasses, shrubs, and wildflowers that complement the shoreland environment and may also function as rain gardens (shallow landscaped depressions). Such feature areas shall be protected from weeds using mulch, such as wood chips, gravel, and rock. Use of turf or lawn shall be minimized and used mainly for accent and for active play areas. A drought-tolerant turf shall be used.
- Driveways and approaches shall be accessorized through the use of textured or colored concrete patterns to add visual interest and to reduce glare.
- Outdoor living areas, such as but not limited to, porches, patios, courtyards, balconies, and other entertaining or activity areas shall be designed into the front yard (and/or front building elevation) spaces as extensions of the on-site hardscaping to create added local street life appeal. Such areas shall not exceed 25% of the required front yard landscaped area. These elements shall be allowed to extend into the front setback area. Placement and use of decorative streetscape lighting fixtures shall be incorporated into the street design.
- Where access or separation controls are needed or desired, an open style fence design shall be utilized, and shall be constructed of natural appearing materials, such as rock, wood, or other similar material, and shall not exceed four feet in height for all yard space areas. Solid privacy fencing is not allowed along streets and pedestrian pathways. Vinyl and chain link fencing are prohibited.

- Viewshed Protection. Buildings and similar structures should be designed and placed where their visual impact is minimized to the greatest extent possible, as viewed from the Legacy Parkway and other public spaces.
- Buildings should be setback a minimum of 150 feet from the Legacy Parkway right-of-way or to the maximum extent possible if less than 150 feet of space is available. Such situations may arise in locations where wetlands are present or where similar circumstances warrant the need to balance the property constraints and the desire to maintain the open view along the Legacy Parkway Corridor.
- All main buildings and associated site landscaping and open space areas within 250 feet of the Legacy Parkway should visually address the parkway.
- View corridors should be created to allow visual connections easterly toward the Wasatch Mountains and westerly toward the Legacy Preserve and Farmington Bay. Buildings should not be massed in a manner that creates a complete visual fortress, specifically as viewed from the Legacy Parkway or any other major arterial road.
- All service areas and back lot uses, such as loading docks, dumpsters, storage areas, etc. should be located behind the main buildings or properly screened or visually buffered from view from the Legacy Parkway, a local street, or any pedestrian pathway, or, where deemed applicable the Legacy Preserve.
- Land uses needing areas for storage, equipment parking, or other such activities, should be screened and segmented into smaller spatial areas and may be connected together by access lanes, open space, and other buildings.
- Open Space and Critical Lands. Open spaces shall be provided to protect and buffer critical natural areas and to enhance or create desirable view corridors eastwardly towards the Legacy Parkway and Wasatch Mountains and to westerly towards the Legacy Preserve and Farmington Bay.
- Development proposals should identify critical lands, such as wetland areas, stream corridors, canals, and other such sensitive lands. The design and development layout should protect and/or incorporate these features as buffers, open spaces, trail and passive recreation amenities, drainage corridors, and transition areas.
- All development should incorporate a discernable center or feature area. Such areas may be open spaces or neighborhood squares that contain landscaping, decorative features or art, or other such public gathering space amenities.
- Create or locate open space or feature areas at prominent sites such as entrances, central neighborhood areas, at important vista locations, at important street terminuses, adjacent to or oriented towards the Legacy Parkway, the Legacy Preserve, or towards natural areas such as wetlands.
- Where possible, incorporate open space areas into the development pattern that create visual and physical connections to the Legacy Preserve and visual connections to the Legacy Parkway.
- Develop trailheads and trail connections as part of the open space development pattern that provides access to the public trails systems in the area.
- Use critical land areas to manage drainage and storm water retention needs of development.
- Public Right-of-Way, Roadway and Parking Lot Surfacing Design. Properly designed roadway and parking lot placement can create opportunities for decentralizing stormwater management for the Shorelands Commerce Park area and allow effective infiltration water runoff in a more natural manner. Basic strategies include low-impact roadway layouts, narrower road surface widths, shared accesses and driveways, and open-section roadways.
- Roadways and parking lot areas should be placed to avoid crossing slopes where significant cut and fill will be required. Roadways and parking lots should run parallel to the natural contours of the site and perpendicular to any significant slope areas. Design of the roadway network and parking lot areas may involve some give and take in achieving layouts compatible with the existing topography.
- Shared driveway use should be incorporated into the site and building layout, including consideration of development on adjacent sites. Driveways should be limited to 25 feet (residential) and 30 feet (commercial/industrial) in width. All driveway surfaces should be sloped or crowned in a manner to evenly drain (not erode) on to adjacent vegetative areas (not onto public streets) where the runoff will infiltrate or travel via sheet flow.
- The primary roadway and parking lot design style should be open-section or “country drainage” flanked by filter strips, swales, rain gardens (shallow landscaped depressions) instead of curb and gutter. If curbs are deemed necessary to stabilize the roadway or lot edges, the design should primarily consist of invisible curbs (same level as the surface). Other design strategies may include periodic curb cuts or perforated curbs that empty into swales or rain gardens.
- Clear zone and shoulder grading should be a maximum of five feet for low-speed roads and 10 feet for higher-speed roads. The use of filter strips and swales should direct water on to adjacent vegetative areas (not onto public streets) where the runoff will infiltrate or travel via sheet flow.
- The minimum right-of-way for roads of the Shorelands Commerce Park should be 50 feet and the maximum should be 60 feet.
- The following maximum road widths for surfacing should be as follows
- Local Residential Roads = 29 feet
- Other Local and Collector Roads = 31 feet
- Arterial Roads = 35 feet
- Public street design and development within the Byway corridor should reflect the proper design theme motif and be unified across the corridor. The streetscape design should include the use of, but not limited to, the following types of elements:
- Interpretive signs and kiosks
- Street trees with decorative planting beds or decorative grating
- Decorative light fixtures and street signs
- Benches or places to rest
- Bike lanes and bike racks
- Decorative waste cans and drinking fountains
- Trailhead and spur connections to the area’s trail systems.
