Green Valley Business Park Zoning Requirements

PROHIBITED USES:
No site or lot shall be used for any purpose which is considered by the Declarant to be incompatible with other uses existing within the Subdivision, Phase I or which constitutes a danger or nuisance, or is obnoxious or injurious by reason of the production or emission of dust, smoke, refuse matter, odor, gas, fumes, noise, vibration, or similar substance or conditions. Furthermore, the following specific uses are prohibited: residential dwellings of any kind; churches or religious institutions; hospitals; auto wrecking or salvage operations and junk yards. There are rules concerning waste/wash water - the sewer district should be contacted.

OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGNS:
New sign regulations are being developed specifically for the Green Valley Business Park; clients of the park are advised not to make decisions concerning outdoor signage until these new regulations are finalized.

TYPE OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION ALLOWED:
Along Green Valley Road residential design structures, at a minimum, utilizing a pitched roof with wood, composition, or attractively design standing seam materials with residential material siding and low intensity outside lighting only are permitted. All other buildings must be constructed of new or restored materials and coordinated color scheme that is not excessively different from surrounding commercial uses. Accessory buildings shall incorporate essentially the same color scheme as the principal structure. Open, pole-type structures are not permitted.

SETBACKS:
Front and side yard setbacks shall be as drawn on the officially recorded plat and entirely devoted to landscaping except for parking and related drives. Said parking shall be set back at least 20 feet from front and side property line. Rear setbacks shall be as drawn on the officially recorded plat.

INTENSITY OF USE:
Each principal building or use shall be located upon property containing a minimum of one (1) acre in area.

BUILDING HEIGHT REGULATIONS:
No structure shall exceed thirty eight (38) feet in height or two stories, above the average grade of the property.

LAND COVERAGE:
No building or structure may be erected, altered or used to cover more than fifty (50) percent of the total ground area of the lot or lots. Structures must not be placed in any easements, but gravel and fencing can extend to the rear or side property lines - although the easements could be utilized for utilities in the future forcing the removal of items from the property line.

MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT STORAGE YARDS:
Any outdoor storage must be screened by a fence, a minimum of 8 feet in height, constructed of wood, masonry, combination earth-berm-and-shrubbery, or chain link-and-lath materials. All fences must be located at least 2 feet from adjacent property line and/or utility easements. For those properties along Green Valley Road the storage yards are to be enclosed only by fences made from concrete, masonry, or wood construction.

PARKING:
No on-street parking is allowed. Any vehicles used in conjunction with the business or industry must be parked in a separate parking lot to the rear of the building. There are minimum parking requirements that are contingent upon use - the Pott. Co. Planning and Zoning Office should be contacted.

LOTS AND DRIVES:
All parking, drives, and entrances must be surfaced with asphalt or concrete, except for those lots at the rear of the building used for the storage of vehicles. Lot entrances must be on grade with existing main roads. A seeded and landscaped area, that is a minimum of 12' wide, must separate all paved areas from the main road. Surfacing for the non-parking buildable areas of the lot can be gravel, to the side and rear property lines.
