Sections:
11.100.010 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to provide standards for the installation and maintenance of needed utility facilities in order to provide a safe and efficient municipal service system while ensuring compatibility with surrounding uses. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.03.041, 2001).
11.100.020 Standards.
A. Whenever the lot on which the utility use is located is in or adjoins a residential district, it shall be suitably landscaped so as to screen it from view from properties in the vicinity. Such landscaping shall be continually maintained by the utility provider.
B. Safety fencing, a minimum of six feet in height, shall be erected and maintained around utility installations and structures in which there is any safety hazard whatsoever for children. All structures shall be located such that the safety fence does not encroach on any yard requirements in the district in which the use is located.
C. The utility station shall not be used for offices, servicing of trucks, storage of equipment, or such similar uses unless it is a use permitted outright in the district.
D. Lighting shall be directed away from adjacent properties, streets, and sidewalks to eliminate glare to surrounding properties, pedestrians, and drivers.
E. No objectionable odor is permitted. (Ord. 2041 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1024 § 11.03.042, 2001).
