20.135.010 Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish basic standards for commercial and industrial accessory structures. Accessory structures in commercial and industrial zones are permitted as accessory to the primary structure and use on the same lot. For the purposes of this chapter accessory structures are limited to storage sheds and other unoccupied structures directly related to the primary commercial or industrial use that will remain on the subject property for more than thirty days. (Ord. 2019-38 § 12 (part), 2019).

20.135.020 Accessory structures.

Accessory structures are permitted only as accessory use to a commercial or industrial use in any commercial or industrial zone subject to the following requirements:

A. Permit Required. Prior to construction or placement of a nonresidential accessory structure (except small structures exempt by the International Building Code) a building permit shall be obtained. Applications for these structures shall be processed by Level I procedures.

B. Lot Coverage. No standard of this section shall be construed to permit maximum lot coverage standards to be exceeded.

C. Setbacks. All setbacks for the applicable zone apply.

D. Site Plan Review Required. Location of a nonresidential accessory structure is subject to compliance with overall site plan, including impacts on parking, landscaping, lighting, stormwater, and other considerations as they may arise. (Ord. 2019-38 § 12 (part), 2019).
