§ 20.10.250 — General warehousing

20.10.250 - General warehousing.

A. Screening. A screening wall complying with Chapter 20.16 (Screening and Fencing) shall be provided along the property lines abutting an existing residential use or an existing R, A, PR, SRR, PMD or NOS zoning district, and adjacent to any right-of-way or easement which separates the property from a residential use or an R, A, PR, SRR, PMD or NOS zoning district, except for necessary ingress and egress where otherwise prohibited by this Code. B. Perimeter Treatment. A minimum perimeter setback of fifty feet shall be provided along the property lines abutting an existing residential use or an existing R, A, PR, SRR, PMD or NOS zoning district, and adjacent to any right-of-way or easement which separates the property from a residential use or an R, A, PR, SRR, PMD or NOS zoning district, to minimize potential negative impacts created by activity within the site. 1. Within the minimum perimeter setback, employee and visitor off-street parking and loading and necessary walks and drives shall be allowed. This perimeter setback shall replace the required yard standard of the district where it abuts the residential use or residential zoning district. 2. In the case where a right-of-way or easement separates the property from a residential use or residential zoning district, the width of such right-of-way or easement shall be included in meeting the perimeter setback requirement, provided that the setback from the property line shall never be less than that required in the district. 3. The minimum perimeter setback may be reduced by the zoning administrator when topographic conditions negate the buffering effect of the additional setback, provided, that the setback from the property line shall never be less than that required in the district. A fee for processing requests to reduce the minimum perimeter setback requirement shall be as provided in Chapter 20.04. C. Retail sales are permitted as part of the warehouse use provided the retail sales floor area does not exceed ten percent of the total warehouse floor area. 1. Up to one hundred percent of the total warehouse floor area may be devoted to retail sales activities during an occasional warehouse sale. 2. No more than four occasional warehouse sales may be permitted in any twelve-month period and each occasional warehouse sale must be limited in duration to no more than three consecutive calendar days.
