17.202.010 Purpose.
All real property in Dundee is subject to the zoning regulations of this chapter. Certain types of land uses are also subject to the special use regulations in Chapter 17.203 DMC. Some properties are also subject to the overlay zone regulations of Chapter 17.204 DMC.
A. Agricultural Zone (A). The A zone encourages the continuation of productive farmland within the city.
B. Exclusive Farm Use (EFU). The EFU zone provides for the continued practice of agriculture while providing for new uses that are compatible with agricultural activities.
C. Single-Family Residential Zone (R-1). The R-1 zone preserves existing single-family residential areas and provides for future single-family residential housing opportunities at target densities between three and one-half and four units per acre. The R-1 zone is consistent with the low density residential comprehensive plan designation.
D. Single-Family Residential Zone (R-2). The R-2 zone provides for a mixture of single-family and duplex housing at target densities between four and 4.7 units per acre. The R-2 zone is consistent with the low density residential comprehensive plan designation.
E. Medium Density Residential Zone (R-3). The R-3 zone provides for a mixture of attached and detached housing at target densities of up to 10 units per acre. The R-3 zone is consistent with the medium density residential comprehensive plan designation.
F. Community Commercial Zone (C). The C zone provides for a wide range of community-serving businesses, including retail, office and service uses. The C zone is intended to encourage commercial and mixed use development that is convenient and accessible by all modes and to create a commercial area that is attractive and functional for customers, businesses, and the community at large. Landscaping is a key component of site design in the C zone, to provide buffering of adjacent residential and light industrial uses, to create an attractive streetscape, and to provide environmental benefits.
G. Central Business District (CBD). The CBD zone is intended to promote development of a downtown business and retail area for Dundee that serves the commercial shopping and service needs of both area residents and visitors. The CBD zone is intended to promote pedestrian-oriented development in order to encourage a walkable and attractive downtown. The CBD zone is also intended to allow for mixed use development that retains an overall storefront character on the ground floor.
H. Light Industrial Zone (LI). The LI zone provides for the grouping together of warehousing, manufacturing, and other light industrial uses, which because of their usual operating characteristics could be permitted to operate in close proximity to commercial or residential uses.
I. Public Zone (P). The P zone provides for public and semi-public uses, where such uses do not unreasonably disrupt or alter other areas of the community.
J. Parks and Open Space Zone (PO). The PO zone provides for the use, protection, preservation, conservation, development and enhancement of parks, natural areas, and greenways in a manner that meets community and visitor needs for a wide range of passive and active recreational uses, consistent with the Dundee parks and open space plan. [Ord. 534-2014 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 521-2013 § 3 (Exh. A)].
17.202.020 Allowed uses.
Table 17.202.020 lists the uses that are allowed by each of the city’s base zones. Where a specific use is not listed, and is not otherwise defined in DMC Division 17.500 as an example of a permitted use, the city may find the use is allowed or not allowed in the subject zone, pursuant to DMC 17.103.040.
Notwithstanding the provisions below, additional limitations may apply to uses within overlay zones. For requirements applicable to the city’s overlay zones – flood plain overlay, greenway management overlay, and riparian corridor overlay – please refer to Chapter 17.204 DMC.
Property owners are responsible for verifying whether a specific development is allowed on a particular site. Approval of a Type I checklist or site development review under Chapter 17.402 DMC may be required prior to commencing a use.
Table 17.202.020 is organized as follows:
A. Residential uses.
B. Public and institutional uses.
C. Commercial uses.
D. Industrial and mixed employment uses.
E. Agricultural and natural resource uses.
F. Accessory uses.
G. Temporary uses.

* Code reviser’s note: Ordinance 547-2016 amends the setback to be 10 feet from property lines adjacent to a street. See DMC 17.202.070(C).
[Ord. 586-2024 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 534-2014 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 521-2013 § 3 (Exh. A)].
17.202.040 Yard standards, exceptions to yard and building height standards.
A. Yards Apply Only to One Building. No required yard or other open space or required driveway provided around or for any building or structure for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this code shall be considered as providing a yard or open space for any other building, nor shall any yard or other required space on an adjoining lot be considered as providing a yard or open space on the lot whereon the building is to be erected.
B. General Exception to Building Height Limitations. Projections such as chimneys, spires, domes, elevator shaft housing, towers, aerials, flagpoles, and other similar objects not used for human occupancy are not subject to the building height limitations of the underlying zone.
C. Building Height Exception for Public and Institutional Uses. Buildings for public and institutional uses, as shown in Table 17.202.020, may be constructed to a height that exceeds the maximum building height in the zone, provided the required yards are increased one foot for each one foot of additional building height above the height regulation for the zone.
D. Protection of Solar Access. The use of active or passive solar energy systems including solar collectors, storage facilities, and distribution components for space heating and cooling and domestic water heating is a permitted use within all zones, whether as a part of a structure or incidental to a group of structures nearby.
1. Solar collectors and the equipment used for the mounting and operation of such collectors, where necessary, may be elevated above the 30-foot height limitation in residential zones. However, elevation of solar collectors shall not restrict solar access to adjacent properties.
2. Chimneys, communication transmission towers, television, radio masts, or landscaping shall not significantly restrict or impair solar access to buildings or solar collector locations.
E. Setbacks after Public Dedications. Setback standards of this code do not apply to structures lawfully existing prior to a public dedication whose setback is reduced by the public dedication. Additions to such structures shall be allowed subject to DMC 17.104.040(B) and other applicable provisions of this code.
F. Miscellaneous Exceptions to Setback Requirements. Setback limitations stipulated elsewhere in this code may be modified as follows:
1. Bus Shelters. Bus shelters, which are intended for use by the general public and are under the ownership and/or control of a city, county, state or municipal corporation, shall be exempt from setback requirements.
2. Projecting Building Features. Any feature attached to a roof or exterior wall of a building, such as an eave, gutter, balcony, exterior stairway, chimney or air conditioning unit, may project up to four feet into a required yard, provided building code requirements are met.
3. Accessory Structures Six Feet High or Less. Any accessory structure or projecting building feature, including mechanical equipment to serve a building, less than six feet in total height, as measured at the property line, may be located in side or rear yard. Height includes the height of any railing, porch, deck, or patio. The structure or feature shall not be located to conflict with requirements for landscaping, screening and buffering.
4. Accessory structures over six feet high, including porches and decks, may be located in a required yard only where specifically allowed and meeting the conditions in Table 17.202.030.
5. Flag lots are exempt from maximum setback standards in Table 17.202.030.
G. Zero Side Yard Dwelling Units (Single-Family Detached, Attached, or Townhouse). Zero side yard dwelling units, including single-family detached, attached, or townhouse dwelling units, shall meet the following use and development standards:
1. Location. Zero side yard dwelling units are permitted where shown in Table 17.202.020.
2. Number of Attached Units. No more than six townhouse dwelling units, each on a lot held in separate ownership, may be attached in the R-3 zone.
3. Front yards, either primary or secondary, may not be used as zero yards.
4. Side Yards. Each zero side yard dwelling unit shall be built to at least one side lot line. The side yard setback opposite the zero side yard shall be twice the minimum side yard setback in the applicable zone. This does not apply to townhouse dwellings that have both side yards as zero yards.
5. Maintenance Easement. As a condition of issuance of a permit for any building having an exterior wall contiguous to a property, the applicant shall furnish an easement from the owner of the property adjacent to said wall providing for ingress, egress, and use of such adjacent property for the purpose of maintaining, repairing, and replacing the building. In the case of common wall development, the easement shall allow maintenance of the shared wall. Said easement shall be appurtenant to the property on which the building is located and shall be approved as to form by the city recorder and shall be recorded with the county prior to issuance of the permit. [Ord. 534-2014 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 521-2013 § 3 (Exh. A)].
17.202.050 Fence standards.
A. General Standards.
1. Fences and walls shall not be constructed of nor contain any material that could cause bodily harm, such as barbed wire, broken glass, spikes, electric or any other hazardous or dangerous materials; this includes link fencing with barbed ends at the top or sides; except that fences topped with barbed wire are allowed in agricultural and public zones.
2. Electric fences and barbed wire fences in agricultural zones intended to contain or restrict cattle, sheep, horses or other livestock, and lawfully existing prior to annexation to the city, may remain.
3. Every fence shall be maintained in a condition of reasonable repair and shall not be allowed to become and remain in a condition of disrepair including noticeable leaning, missing sections, broken supports, nonuniform height, and uncontrolled growth of vegetation.
4. Fences shall comply with requirements of the clear vision area for streets and driveways.
5. In no instance shall a fence extend beyond the property line.
6. In the C and CBD zones, chain link fencing may not be used between a public street and a maximum setback line, with the following exceptions:
a. In the C zone, black fused and bonded vinyl coated chain link fencing may be used, subject to subsection (B) of this section.
b. In the CBD zone, black fused and bonded vinyl coated chain link fencing may be used if screened from view from the street by a sight-obscuring hedge of equal height, subject to subsection (B) of this section.
7. In the LI zone, fences taller than six feet in height shall not be chain link. Fences over six feet in height shall be screened by a sight obscuring hedge.
B. Fence Heights.
1. Fences in residential zones shall not exceed four feet in height in the required primary front yard setback, and six feet in height within secondary front, side or rear yard setback.
2. Fences and walls in the C and CBD zones shall not exceed four feet in height between a public street and the maximum front yard setback line (per DMC 17.202.030(B)) and six feet in height within a side or rear yard setback.
3. Fences in interior yards more than six feet in height shall meet the setback requirements in Table 17.202.030 for an accessory structure.
4. The fence height limits above include the height of soil berms under the fence or acting as a fence.
5. Vertical structural members such as posts or columns that are not wider than two feet and that are spaced not closer than eight feet (other than when located on either side of a gate or portal) and ornamental features on top of the posts or columns shall not be used in determining height.
6. If a variance has been granted to the fence height restriction, a building permit may be required prior to construction.
7. In the LI zone, fences shall not exceed eight feet tall, except where used for outdoor storage areas that are not adjacent to a public right-of-way. [Ord. 547-2016 § 1; Ord. 534-2014 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 521-2013 § 3 (Exh. A)].
17.202.060 Site and building design standards in commercial zones.
The following standards apply to all development in the C and CBD zones that is subject to land use approval, except that modification or expansion of an existing residential use allowed pursuant to DMC 17.203.190 is exempt from this section.
A. Maximum Building Setbacks. The maximum building setbacks are stated in Table 17.202.030.
1. Applicability. The setback standards apply to all buildings and structures on the site except as specified in this section or elsewhere in this code. Maximum setback standards of this subsection (A) apply only to buildings that are enclosed on all sides and do not apply to detached accessory structures. The street-facing facades of detached accessory structures do not count towards meeting maximum setback standards. These standards do not apply to flag lots.
2. Standards. There are two standards, as specified below:
a. In the C zone, at least 50 percent of the length of the ground level street-facing facade of the building must be within the maximum setback;
b. In the CBD zone, 80 percent of the length of the ground level street-facing facade of the building must be within the maximum setback.
3. Measurement.
a. Maximum setback is measured to an exterior building wall. Projecting building features, including those described in DMC 17.202.040(F) as well as awnings and bay windows, may not be used to satisfy maximum setback requirements.
b. Where there is more than one building on the site, the standards of this subsection (A) apply to the combined ground level, street-facing facades of all of the buildings. See Figure 1.
c. Where an existing building is being altered or new buildings are being added to a site with an existing building, the standards apply to the ground level, street-facing facade of the entire site. Additions that do not increase the length of ground-level, street-facing facade are not subject to these standards. See Figure 2 and Figure 3.
4. Sites with Multiple Frontages.
a. Sites on corner lots shall meet the applicable standard above for the primary street frontage of their choosing. On the secondary street frontage, the maximum setback is adjusted to 30 feet for the CBD zone and 40 feet for the C zone. Building frontages used to meet the setback requirements on either the primary or secondary street frontage are considered “street walls” for purposes of this code (see Figure 4).
b. Through lots shall meet the applicable standard on the street frontage of the street with the higher functional classification as designated in the City of Dundee Transportation System Plan. Where both streets have the same functional classification, the applicant may choose the street frontage on which to meet the applicable standard; the reverse frontage is exempt from these standards (see Figure 4).
5. Relationship to Other Standards. That portion of the ground level street-facing building facade that meets the standards in subsection (A)(2) of this section shall be referred to as the “street wall” throughout this section and this code.
B. Parking Location. In order to encourage pedestrian-friendly commercial development, and to prevent vehicle parking from dominating the streetscape, the location of parking areas and areas for vehicle circulation on a site are limited.
1. Applicability. The standards of this subsection (B) apply to parking areas, loading areas, drive-through lanes, driveways, and all other areas devoted to vehicle storage and circulation, except as specified in subsection (B)(4) of this section.
2. Standards.
a. Parking and vehicle circulation areas shall not be allowed between a street wall and a street (see Figure 5).
b. In the CBD zone, in addition to meeting the standard above, sites with 100 feet or more of frontage on any single street shall have parking and vehicle circulation areas abutting no more than 50 percent of the total street frontage along that street.
3. Sites with Multiple Frontages.
a. Sites on corner lots shall meet the standards above for both street frontages (see Figure 4).
b. Through lots shall meet the applicable standard on the street frontage of the street with the higher functional classification as designated in the City of Dundee Transportation System Plan. Where both streets have the same functional classification, the applicant may choose the street frontage on which to meet the applicable standard; the reverse frontage is exempt from these standards (see Figure 4).
4. Exceptions.
a. In the C zone, drive-through lanes may be located between the street wall and the street if the applicant can demonstrate that it is not feasible to configure the site in any other way. The standards in DMC 17.203.070(B) shall apply.
b. Driveways accessing the site may be located between the street wall and the street if the city engineer or ODOT finds that access spacing standards and/or safety considerations require such a configuration.
c. Improvements on lots that do not conform with this subsection (B) shall, to the extent feasible, reduce the area dedicated to parking and vehicular circulation between the building and the right-of-way.
C. Front Setback Landscaping. In order to enhance pedestrian comfort, development in the C and CBD zones shall be required to provide landscaping and/or pedestrian amenities within front setback areas between the building and the street.
1. Applicability. The standards of this subsection (C) apply to front setback areas, including both the required front yard and any additional setback between the front lot line and the street wall. Where this setback area includes a landscape strip required to screen a parking lot, the standards of DMC 17.302.060(C) shall be met in addition to the standards of this section. (See Figure 5.)
2. Standards. Front setback areas in the C and CBD zones shall be landscaped to include a mix of plants and pedestrian amenities as follows:
a.
