Design Standard Administration
Sections:
3.1.130 Types of Design Standards
3.1.100 Purpose
The City of Halsey has adopted design standards for the built environment. The standards are intended to protect the public health, safety, and welfare and enable the City to create a livable city. Design standards in this Chapter require an applicant to plan for safe access and circulation to and within a development site and for the provision of landscaping, parking and loading and public facilities.
3.1.110 Types of Design Standards.
The City’s design standards are contained in both Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. It is important to review both chapters, and all relevant code sections within the chapters, to determine which standards apply.
A. Chapter 2. Each land use district in Chapter 2 provides design standards that are specifically tailored to the district. Each district provides building and architectural design standards that are meant to address the impacts or characteristics of residential, commercial, industrial and other non-residential uses.
B. Chapter 3. The following design standards in Chapter 3 apply throughout the City, for all land use types:
3.2 Access and Circulation
3.3 Landscaping, Street Trees, Fences and Walls
3.4 Vehicle and Bicycle Parking
3.5 Public Facilities Standards
3.6 Other Design Standards
3.7 Floodplain Standards
3.1.120 Applicability.
The provisions Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 apply to permits and approvals granted under this Code. Table 3.1.120 provides a list of the design standards that typically apply to each type of permit or land use approval.
