Section 5.05.08.B.2—Applicability
The Committee discussed the Section including the following items:
• Which districts or uses the standards should be applied to?
• Applying the standards to buildings in industrial districts but exempting those within the
districts on collector streets given they are not visible to the general public.
• Applying the standards to districts adjacent to residential districts as opposed to a
"distance"requirement(Section 5.05.08.B.2.b).
• Applying the standards to churches that are adjacent to residential districts.
• Applying the standards to a minimum square footage building(i.e. buildings over 10,000
square feet) as opposed to the "use" of a building.
The Committee discussed the concept of reviewing the standards with three options for
consideration as identified below:
1. Recommending eliminating the standards entirely.
2. Amend the standards to scale back some of the requirements.
3. Amend the standards to create greater requirements than currently exist.

required to conform to the requirements.
