Section 5.05.08 D.7
At a previous meeting the Committee added Section 5.05.08 D.7.a.i that provides for the use of
overhead glass doors in certain building designs without the screening required under Section
5.05.08 D.7.a. During the discussions,they considered adding language to this section prohibiting
the use of the treatment for self storage buildings and possibly other uses such as industrial,
warehousing, etc. Staff was to research the issue and report back to the Committee.
Staff presented two examples of existing uses of glass overhead doors for discussion purposes. The
Committee determined that the previously determined 75 percent glazing standard was desired. Staff
also reported, upon further investigation it may be more effective to require screening in Section
5.05.08 E which addresses Design Standards for Specific Buildings (self storage buildings, multi
story, mercantile,warehousing, industrial, etc.). The Committee could specifically address which
individual uses the treatment would be allowed and would aid applicants as they reference the
standards when designing site specific buildings.
The Commmitte suggested that Staff should review the issue and propose the exception for
specific uses only for the Committee's consideration.
Section 5.05.08 D.7.a—Overhead Doors
The Committee discussed the current requirement"Sufficient screening is defined as a screening
wall, with a minimum height of 90 percent of the overhead door height, or a landscape buffer
achieving 75 percent opacity within one year. The placement and the length of these screening
devices must block the view of the overhead doors from the street. " The Committee:
• Expressed concern, in order to meet the requirement, a wall or landscape buffer may be
required to encompass the entire length of a property line fronting the street in question.
• Questioned if wall should be allowed to be built in these instances as generally they do not
provide aesthetic qualities to a site, but act as a sight or noise impeder.
• If walls are allowed, consideration should be given to amending the section for a lower
height requirement such as "Six foot high as measured from the centerline grade of adjacent
roadway or access. "
Staff reported the requirement has been applied to the area along the fronting property which is 90
degrees perpendicular from the front ends of the proposed building, not the entire property line.
Landscape buffers are generally utilized by the applicant to satisfy this requirement given the costs
associated with constructing walls.
