There shall not be more than four washing bays for a manual spray car wash. 3. Car wash facilities shall be set back from the street right-of-way at least 60 feet.

Two bay car wash, three spaces in the approach lane for each wash bay; c. Three or more bay car wash, two spaces in the approach lane for each wash bay.
c. Complete street. 1. A complete street, as defined in Chapter 101-2, shall be installed to span the street-frontage of the lot for the width of existing or proposed completed improvements, including parking facilities and required landscaped area. If this width is 75 percent of the lot width or greater, the complete street shall span the lot's entire street-frontage in the commercial zone. a. Modification of existing site improvements that affect less than 25 percent of the lot area is exempt from complete street requirements. b. For portions of a lot's frontage in the commercial zone where a complete street is not required by this Subsection (c)(1), a 10-foot wide sidewalk is required, as prescribed by the Planning Staff after consultation with the City Engineer. 2. A complete street design shall include a ten-foot pedestrian pathway or sidewalk, pedestrian lighting, shade trees, appropriate clear view of intersection, and shall also include safe street crossings for pedestrians in no greater than 300-foot intervals. The complete street design, tree species and planting techniques, and pedestrian lighting are subject to approval by the Planning Staff, after consultation with the City Engineer.
a. Dwelling unit. A dwelling unit is allowed, as part of a mixed use building.. When fronting on a public or private street, buildings that contain dwelling units shall comply with the following:
a. The building shall provide street-facing commercial space, at the street level, that is accessible from the street, for the entire length of the building's street frontage;
b. The building shall not be setback any greater than 20 feet at any point from the property line that runs parallel to the public or private street; and
c. The building shall be subject to the requirements of chapter 108-1 and chapter 108-2.
b. Perpetual building maintenance agreement. When permitted by this chapter as a way to allow reduced side or rear setbacks, a perpetual building maintenance agreement is required between the building owner and the affected adjacent property owner, which shall allow for construction and maintenance of the side or rear of a commercial building, and shall: a. be reviewed for compliance with this section by the Planning Division and County Attorney's Office; b. place responsibility on the building owner for prompt repairs and maintenance of the side or rear of the building; c. require allowances of access to the property for repairs and maintenance purposes; d. be signed by the owner of the commercial building and the adjacent property owner to be considered valid; and be recorded on the title of both properties.
c. Cross-access and cross-access easement. Access to adjacent existing or future development without the need to access the public right-of-way is in the interest of public safety. As such, at a minimum, each developed lot or parcel shall have two points of ingress and egress, at least one of which shall be stubbed to adjacent property where practicable. 1. When locating a cross-access easement or designing the cross-access infrastructure, good faith efforts shall be made to coordinate the location and design with the adjoining land owner. 2. The Planning Staff may require the cross-access to be located in a manner that optimizes traffic circulation on the properties or in the area. 3. Construction of the cross-access infrastructure shall be completed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any structure on the lot or parcel, or a completion bond may substitute for completion if allowed by the County Engineer. 4. When a lot or parcel is being developed that abuts an existing cross-access easement or existing cross-access infrastructure, a reciprocal cross-access
easement shall be provided on the same lot line or parcel line in the same location and of equal width. The reciprocal cross-access infrastructure shall be constructed to the same standard as, or better than, the existing crossaccess infrastructure on the adjacent parcel. A cross-access easement shall be recorded on the title of all affected properties, along with a perpetual operation and maintenance agreement between the property owners that specifies, at a minimum, that the infrastructure will be operated and maintained by the property owners in a manner that is safe and usable for two-way vehicle traffic. 5. If property owners fail to operate or maintain cross-access infrastructure that was required by the County under this section, the County may pursue enforcement measures as provided in this Land Use Code. d. Storage Unit. When allowed by Section 104-20-5, and unless exempted herein, storage units are allowed if located on the same lot or parcel with street-facing commercial space. The use shall comply with the following: 1. Storage units shall not be front facing along a highway or arterial road. 2. Storage units shall be located behind or above building area that provides or reserves first-story street-facing commercial space. The building providing street-facing commercial space shall meet design requirements of the zone:
a. Provide street-facing commercial space that is at the street level and extends the entire length of the building's street-facing facade;
b. Be setback from the front property line, or side-facing street property line if on a corner lot, no greater than 20 feet;
c. Have one or more main entrance(s) accessible from the street right-of-way on the building's street-facing facade;
d. Have at least 50 percent fenestration for the part of a building's facade(s) that provide(s) first-story street-facing commercial space;
e. Have at least 30 percent fenestration for the part of a building's facade(s) that do(es) not provide first-story street-facing commercial space;
f. Appear from the exterior as if office or residential space is offered in the area housing the storage units; and
g. Comply with the architectural design theme specified in the respective general plan.
3. If located in a separate onsite building than the building providing first-story street-facing commercial space specified in Subsection (g)(1) herein, the separate building shall be located behind the building with first-story street-
level commercial space, and shall be no wider than the building providing
first-story street-level commercial space. The building shall be designed by a
licensed architect to have similar architectural features as the building
providing first-story street-level commercial space.
4. Storage unit bay doors or garage doors shall face away and not be visible from
the nearest property line, and shall be completely obscured from view from
any public right-of-way; except a bay or garage door may face a public right-
of-way if the door is constructed of 80 percent window area and designed to
appear as fenestration for first-story street-facing commercial space.
5. The lot's street frontage shall be developed as a complete street, as specified
in Section 104-21-4(c).
6. Exemption: The requirements of this Subsection (g) shall be waived if:
a. The lot or parcel has no street frontage;
b. No street is planned that would give the lot or parcel frontage, as
shown on any street plan or similar document adopted by the
County; and
c. The parcel is surrounded on all sides by a zone that allows first-
