2552                               Municipal Charters

demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Planning and   Zoning Office

that the street, parcel, and block pattern proposed   is specifically

adapted to the uses anticipated and takes into account  other uses in
the vicinity. The following principles shall be observed.

Section 13-124.2 LAYOUT

(a)  Proposed Commercial and Industrial street layout, blocks, and
parcels shall be suitable in area and dimensions to the types of development
anticipated.

(b)    The total area shall be sufficient to provide adequate space
for off-street parking and loading, landscaping, and other facilities.
Minimum County off-street parking and loading space requirements
may be found in the County Zoning Ordinance.

(c)   Whenever possible, commercial parcels should include enough
land to provide for a group of commercial establishments, planned, owned,
and managed, as a unit. Strip commercial development shall be avoided,
however, when no alternative is available and this type of development
occurs, access shall be controlled or limited and lot frontage shall be on
service drives.

(d) With respect to physical improvements, special requirements
may be imposed by the Planning and Zoning Office or upon recommendation
of the Public Works Department within the non residential subdivision.

(D) PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS SHALL BE DESIGNED
AND CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ORDINANCE,
THE ZONING ORDINANCE, AND OTHER ESTABLISHED DESIGN
AND BUILDING ORDINANCES, STANDARDS, AND REGULATIONS
OF THE COUNTY.

(e) Every effort shall be made to protect adjacent residential areas
from potential nuisance from the commercial and industrial subdivision,
including the provision of extra depth in parcels backing up on existing
or potential residential development and provisions for a permanently
landscaped buffer strip when necessary.

Section 13-124.3 STREET SYSTEM

(a)    Traffic movements in and out of commercial and industrial
areas should not interfere with external traffic nor should it create
hazards for adjacent residential areas.

(b)    The design of streets, service drives and pedestrian ways
should provide for safe and hazard-free internal circulation.

(c)    Streets carrying commercial and industrial traffic, especially
truck traffic, shall not normally be extended to the boundaries of adjacent
existing or potential residential areas, nor connected to streets intended
for predominately residential traffic. Streets shall be connected to arterial
or collector streets in such a way that the number of intersections with
such arterials or collectors are minimized.

(d)    Street rights-of-way and pavement access approaching and
within a non-residential subdivision shall be adequate to accommodate
the type and volume of traffic anticipated to be generated thereon and
shall be in compliance with Section 13-107.1.

Section 13-124.4 BUILDING SETBACK LINES

Building setback lines within commercial and industrial subdivisions
shall be as specified by the County Zoning Ordinance.
