§ 30.68.080. Adjustments to Site Environmental Standards.


Latest version.
  • Proposals to utilize standards different from those provided elsewhere in this chapter may be considered in light of the unique characteristics of an individual site, including those created by the shape and location of property, design of existing or proposed structures, and the operation of proposed uses at the site. Adjustments to site environmental standards include those related to noise and lighting. The determination of the acceptability of such adjustments shall be based upon consideration of the following:

    1.

    The ability of the proposed adjustments to result in the same or improved site environmental functions required by the standards of this Chapter.

    2.

    The ability of the proposed adjustments to provide the same or enhanced visual character to the site that would result from the application of the required site environmental standards for which alternatives are being offered.

    3.

    The ability of the proposed adjustments to result in site environmental standards that maintain or increase compatibility with adjacent sites as anticipated through the application of the required site environmental standards for which alternatives are being offered.
