102-30 - SPECIAL PERMIT PROVISIONS

LAST AMENDED
2/2/2011


 On all #zoning lots# located entirely or partially within a

 #Special Scenic View District#, the City Planning Commission, by special permit, may allow penetration by a #sign# or #building or other structure# of a #view plane# and grant minor modifications of
 #open space#, #lot coverage#, #yards# and height and setback regulations of the underlying district. As a condition for such modifications, the Commission shall find:

(a)    that any penetration of a #view plane# shall not significantly obstruct the #scenic view# which is to be protected by the provisions of this Chapter;

(b)    that any penetration of a #view plane# will cause the minimal obstruction consistent with reasonable development and #bulk# distribution on the #zoning lot#; and

(c)    that any #bulk# modifications on a #zoning lot# will not affect adversely any other #zoning lots# outside the development, by restricting access of light and air.

 In reaching a determination for such modifications, the Commission shall be guided by the description of the #scenic view# to be made part of this Chapter at the time of the designation of a #Special Scenic
 View District#.

 The Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to protect the #scenic view# and to minimize the adverse effects on the character of the surrounding areas.
