14. Overhead Doors and Loading Spaces <br /> A. OVERHEAD DOORS. <br /> In connection with any building or structure there is often the need for <br /> passenger vehicle and/or trucks the ability to enter a building for the <br /> purposes not limited to loading, unloading, service, maintenance and <br /> general storage. <br /> Commercial District/Industrial District. <br /> a. Location: <br /> 1. Overhead doors shall attempt to be placed primarily in the <br /> designated rear yard, and secondarily in the designated side yard. <br /> 2. An overhead door may be placed in the front yard and face a <br /> public right-of-way when additional screening/buffer is provided as <br /> Soutlined in the screening/buffer standards section. When more <br /> than one frontage exists, the City shall determine the frontage with <br /> the least significant impact which an overhead door may be <br /> directed. <br /> b. Size: <br /> 1. Overhead doors shall not be larger than ten (10) feet wide by <br /> twelve (12) feet high. If an overhead door is to exceed these <br /> dimensions, a written statement explaining the reason shall be <br /> submitted to the Planning Department for review. <br /> c. Screening/Buffer Standards: <br /> 1. The intent of screening/buffer standards is to provide an <br /> emphasis on reducing the visual impact overhead doors may have <br /> when located facing right-of-ways or residential zoning districts. <br /> This screening/buffer may consist of a combination of fencing, <br /> and/or earth berming and landscaping. The quantity and quality of <br /> these materials will depend on the overhead door location and how <br /> the site is designed to accommodate these spaces. This <br /> screening/buffer plan shall be approved as part of the site plan <br /> review process or Council action. <br /> Page 13 <br />
