19.30.050 Development Standards for Commercial Zones.
A. Purpose. This section establishes the development standards and site requirements for uses in the commercial zones. The standards and rules are established to provide flexibility in project design, prevent fire danger, provide adequate access and circulation, reduce incompatibilities, and prevent overloading of infrastructure due to the impacts of development.
B. Explanation of Table. Development standards are listed down the left column of the table and the commercial zones are identified across the top row. The matrix cells contain the requirements of each zone. The footnotes identify particular requirements applicable to a specific use, standard, or zone. Additional requirements for the NC zone are found in Chapter 19.31.

Footnotes for Table 2
1No maximum lot size; however, any use over two (2) acres requires Planning Agency approval as a conditional use.
2The Planning Agency may allow buildings or structures to be erected to an additional height after a public hearing and examination of the location and upon due proof to the satisfaction of the Agency that the additional height will not be detrimental.
3Setbacks:
AWithin the setback area shown on Table 2, no building or structure (as defined in 19.06.610) shall be allowed, except flagpoles, street furniture, transit shelters, signage, fencing, slope stability structures, and improvements less than thirty inches (30") above grade, including decks, patios, walks, and driveways. Some of these structures and improvements require a permit.
BThe setbacks shown in the table are zoning setbacks. Larger setbacks may be required by the State Building Code, State Fire Code, sight distance requirements, or landscaping requirements (Chapter 19.57).
4Portions of the building may be set back further than the maximum setback to allow for features that encourage pedestrian use and activity along the street, such as building modulation, pedestrian plazas or courtyards, covered or recessed entryways, commercial uses or displays (such as vendors, newsstands, or cafes), public art (such as water features or sculptures), or seating and/or planter areas.
