35-3305. - Site development standards.
Prior to development, redevelopment, building or structure construction or reconstruction; building or structure expansion, enlargement, structural alteration, or façade renovation, upon any property to which the Adaptive Reuse Overlay District applies; or any expansion of a use permitted by right in the underlying zoning district of any property to which the Adaptive Reuse Overlay District applies shall comply with the site development standards as set forth below and amended from time to time.
1.) Applicability: Where a conflict exists between the site development standards of the underlying zoning district and the Adaptive Reuse Overlay District site development standards, the Adaptive Reuse Overlay District site development standards shall apply. In all other cases, the site development standards of the underlying zoning district shall apply.
2.) Site Development Plan: Any development activities for property located within the Adaptive Reuse Overlay District shall be subject to the requirements of Article XIX. Site Development Plan of the Chandler Zoning Code except:
a. It is not the intent of the Council that the guidelines within Article XIX, such as but not limited to parking landscaping requirements, parking lot screening, landscape buffers, plant spacing and percent vegetative cover be strictly applied, upon finding that any and all deviations from the standards prescribed will result in an environmental quality consistent with the intent of said standards, and the purpose of the Adaptive Reuse Overlay District.
b. Mechanical Equipment Screening: Mechanical equipment and appurtenances shall not require new concealment and/or screening provided:
1. The mechanical equipment is simply replaced or updated.
2. The total number of proposed mechanical units is equal-to-or-less than the number of units originally.
3. Associated mechanical equipment ductwork is exempt from screening requirements.
3.) Area Regulations:
a. Lot Coverage: Any building or structure as permitted herein may occupy up to one hundred (100) percent of the lot area, provided however, that such maximum building coverage shall not preclude compliance with any stormwater drainage requirements, or with the applicable requirements within the Building Code of the City of Chandler.
b. Front Yard Setback: The front yard setback for buildings and/or structures may be zero (0) feet from the right-of-way line.
c. Side Yard Setback: The side yard setbacks for buildings and/or structures may be zero (0) feet from the property line or abutting right-of-way line.
d. Rear Yard Setback: The rear yard setback for buildings and/or structures may be zero (0) feet from the property line.
e. Parking Setback: The parking lot setback may be zero (0) feet from all right-of-way and property lines.
4.) Parking Standards: All off-street parking, loading and maneuvering spaces for the uses permitted within the underlying Zoning District, shall comply with Article XVIII. Parking and Loading Regulations of the Chandler Zoning Code, except 35-1807(3.b.2) and 35-1803(2) whereby:
a. The Zoning Administrator may approve a request to reduce up to sixty (60%) percent of the required number of parking spaces or to exceed the maximum requirement upon determining that the data presented in the parking demand study demonstrates compliance with approval criteria.
b. Curb Requirements: Except where a wall is required, a six-inch vertical concrete precast curbing, or suitable barrier is required around the perimeter of a parking area when needed to protect landscaping areas and control vehicular circulation and the flow of stormwater.
