§ 85-664. Enhanced screening of outdoor storage.  


Latest version.
  • Outdoor storage is permitted only in industrial zones, and is considered incompatible with the area located in the District. As a result, only legally preexisting, nonconforming uses with outdoor storage are recognized and shall be entitled to the statutory protection offered to such uses. Preexisting, nonconforming uses may not be expanded or modified; however, owner/operators of sites with such storage are encouraged to provide visual screening of outdoor storage from the public right-of-way, internal roadways and adjacent properties. Vegetative landscape screening may be installed without the need for full site plan review, provided landscaping is installed pursuant to a landscape plan authorized by the Commissioner. Screening which involves fencing is also encouraged, but must meet the requirements of the Building Code and Building Division.
