A. Purpose and Applicability. The purpose of this section is to ensure that vehicle services—service/fueling stations as defined in Chapter 17.156 (Land Use Definitions) and where permitted in Chapter 17.10 (Use Regulations) are compatible with surrounding and adjacent uses and do not create adverse impacts on adjacent properties.

B. Standards. Service/fueling stations are subject to the following standards:

1. Premises adjoining residential zones shall be screened from such zones by a minimum six-foot-high landscaped visual barrier, subject to the limitations of Section 17.70.070 (Fences, Walls, and Hedges).

2. Street frontage between driveways shall have a low wall or other landscape barrier to prevent vehicles from being driven or parked on the sidewalk.

3. Bells or other sound signals shall be turned off between ten p.m. and seven a.m. if the station is adjacent to a residential zone.

4. Pump islands shall be located at least fifteen feet from any street right-of-way line or setback line, except that cantilevered roofs may extend to a point at least five feet from such lines.

5. Repair work shall be performed and dismantled vehicles shall be stored inside a building or area screened so that such area is not visible from off the premises.

6. Compliance with Chapter 17.74 (Performance Standards) and Chapter 5.36 (Service Stations) is required.

C. Additional Conditions and Requirements. This section permits the director to exercise the discretion to review, request from applicants additional information, take authorized action, and impose additional conditions that are more restrictive than allowed in this section.
