§ 35-339. Urban Corridor Districts (1987).
(a)
Development Standards.
(1)
General. Ordinances establishing specific urban corridor districts shall comply with the requirements addressed in this section subject to the guidelines included herein. In event of a conflict between the specific corridor ordinance and other provisions of this chapter, the urban corridor provisions shall prevail.
(2)
Setbacks. The setback along designated street corridors may be established in accordance with the table below. The determination of the setback shall take into account lot size, easements, and the location of existing buildings within the corridor. All other setbacks shall comply with the base zoning district requirements. However, residential buildings less than four (4) stories in height shall have no greater setbacks than required by the base zoning district.
Collector street ..... 0—30 feet
Arterial street ..... 0—40 feet
Expressway ..... 0—60 feet
(3)
Reserved.
(4)
Screening. The following uses may be required to be screened from a designated street corridor to a height sufficient to completely screen the use from view at ground level: all outside storage and industrial activities, off-street loading areas as required by division 9 of this article, refuse storage areas, air conditioning and heating equipment, and microwave and satellite antennas.
(5)
Driveways. The total width of driveways shall not exceed forty (40) percent of each street frontage, but in any event no less than one (1) driveway shall be permitted per platted lot.
(6)
Public facilities. Public agencies are encouraged to take into account an urban corridor designation and be sensitive to the intent and provisions of a corridor ordinance in the siting and design of facilities which are located within or adjacent to an urban corridor district. On-site utilities may be required to be located underground unless required by the utility to be otherwise located. Public agencies which own property within an urban corridor district are also encouraged to provide landscaping along public rights-of-way.
(7)
Reciprocal access easements. Reciprocal access easements between adjacent properties for use by the general public are encouraged. Where such easements are platted between adjacent developments and the owners of the developments mutually agree to allow reciprocal parking, a reduction in off-street parking requirements may be granted.
(b)
Site Plan.
(1)
Site Plan. A site plan for all properties within an urban corridor district shall be submitted in conjunction with an application for a building permit or certificate of occupancy. The plan shall be on a standard drawing sheet of a size not to exceed twenty-four by thirty-six (24 x 36) inches and shall be submitted in four (4) copies, including one (1) reproducible copy, together with a reproducible eight and one-half by eleven (8.5 x 11) inches reduction of the plan. The site plan shall include the following information as applicable for a particular urban corridor district:
A.
Street address, legal description, vicinity diagram, scale, north arrow, and perimeter boundaries.

(2)
Plan Consideration. Upon submission, each site plan shall be reviewed by the staff for compliance with the standards of the corridor zoning district. If approved, the plan shall be so annotated and one (1) copy of the approved plan shall be returned to the applicant and one (1) copy retained by the department of development services.
(3)
Plan Appeal. If the plan is not approved, the applicant may appeal the staff decision to the board of adjustment for a final determination.
