any required yard; provided that no such feature shall be located closer than three (3) feet to
any lot line.
4.11.2.1 ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
No structure shall be permitted in an 'easement in a way that adversely affects the easement.
In front and corner yards, accessory struCfture setbacks shall be the same as the

shall be zero (0) feet. Accessory structures shall be erected no closer than six (6) feet to an
alley easement or right-of-way or shared driveway easement, no closer than three (3) feet to the
edge of the alley easement or right-of-way or the shared driveway easement. The director of
planning and community development may authorize an accessory structure to be located
closer to the edge of an alley easement or right-of-way if the director determines that, based
upon the written recommendation of the county engineer, the proposed design incorporates
features that assure public safety and welfare. The county engineer shall consider the provision
of adequate access to required onsite parking and/or garages, unimpeded vehicular circulation
along the alley, an adequate clear zone along the alley, and other safety issues deemed
appropriate for the conditions.
4.12.9 STREET AND ALLEY PARKING
Street and alley parking may be provided as follows:

(4,000) gross square feet or more shall provide a dumpster pad within the block

4.12.6 MINIMUM NUMBER OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES FOR SCHEDULED USES
When the SDP's are reviewed for Block E, the parking will be considered proportional to
the size of the development proposed together with what exists. In other words, if during
the rezoning it is determined that the nonresidential blocks can be calculated at 4.75
spaces per 1000sfgla, but the 1st SDP comes in with only 10,000sfgla, that site plan will
be required to show the parking at 5.5 spaces per 1000sfgla. Later when a ~d SDP is
submitted and more square footage is added to the block, the parking generator will be
reduced to include both the existing and what is proposed on' that SOP.
