In the C-3, BP, GC, I-1, and I-2 Zoning Districts, outdoor storage is permitted through the Site Plan review process and subject to compliance with the following requirements: 1. Except for outdoor storage associated with agricultural uses, each outdoor storage area shall be incorporated into the overall design of the primary structure on the site and shall be located at the rear of the primary structure. Industrial uses that do not include a primary structure, such as storage yards, are exempt from this provision. 2. Each outdoor storage area shall be screened from view from all property lines and adjacent rights-of-way by an opaque fence or wall between six and eight feet in height that incorporates at least one of the predominant materials and one of the predominant colors used in the primary structure. The fence may exceed eight feet in height where the difference in grade between the right-of-way and the outdoor storage area makes a taller fence necessary to effectively screen the area. Materials may not be stored higher than the height of the wall. The perimeter of the fence or wall must be landscaped with a seven-foot wide strip containing a minimum of one tree for every 150 square feet of lot area. Industrial uses that do not include a primary structure, such as storage yards, must be enclosed by a decorative masonry wall designed and constructed in compliance with the requirements of Section 5.4.5, Fences, Walls, and Screening . 3. A landscaped earthen berm may be used instead of or in combination with a required fence or wall. 4. If the outdoor storage area is covered, then the covering shall include at least one of the predominant exposed roofing colors on the primary structure. 5. No materials may be stored in areas intended for vehicular or pedestrian circulation. 6. No storage of any items may occur within the front setback area or within the one-half of each side setback nearest the street, except that in the I-2 Zoning District, walled storage yards must not encroach into required front and streetside setback areas or one-half the width of required side and rear setback areas.
