18.42.200 Municipal Utility Facilities

Lots approved for a Municipal Utility Facility shall not be required to have frontage along a public or private right-of-way, public right-of-way or other public improvement requirements, lot width requirements, lot area and landscaping requirements, nor site development standards, except as noted within this provision. Such lots shall be exempt from secondary water requirements and, when applicable, shall address any stormwater detention and retention issues and requirements. Notwithstanding the permitted uses listed for each zone, Municipal Utility Facilities shall be a permitted use in each zone in the City. Site development standards on such lots shall be as follows: Structures requiring a building permit on such lots shall be required to be located at least thirty feet (30’) from any public right-of-way, and fifteen feet (15’) from all other property lines, with the exception that bins for the storage of materials shall have a 1:1 ratio setback requirement (one foot required setback from the property line, for each foot of height), unless they are screened from view, by a fence or wall, up to six feet in height (excluding posts or post caps), in which case they may be adjacent to the fence or wall, which may be along a property line. The height limit for structures on such lots shall be thirty-five feet (35’), in all zones, which shall be measured from the highest point of contact of the finished grade with the structure. Lots designated for such facilities are permitted to be accessed by a vehicular access easement on adjoining lots or parcels, ultimately connecting to a public right-of-way, which may be noted on the plat, and/or by an easement agreement for adjacent lots or parcels. Such vehicular accesses may be unimproved. This provision shall prevail over all standards listed in specific zones. (Ord.2023-12, dated 5/23/23) Article I General Provisions
