(1) Signs. All signs erected in the SSC zone shall be in conformance with the sign provisions of Chapter 14.38.085 of this Title, any requirements of a Design Review Zone (if it exists), and shall be in general compliance with the typical signing program approved by the Planning Commission under the provisions of Chapter 14.47.170 of this Chapter. Every sign shall be designed as an integral architectural element of the building and site to which it principally relates.

(2) Uses Within Buildings. All uses established in the SSC zone shall be conducted entirely within a fully-enclosed building except for nurseries, occasional special sales events, outdoor cafes and restaurants, and special entertainment events.

(3) Trash Storage. No trash, used materials, or wrecked or abandoned vehicles or equipment shall be stored in an open area. All such materials must be screened from public streets and adjacent properties with an opaque fence or wall, or must be stored in a fully enclosed building. Storage of commercial goods or materials is expressly prohibited. Containers for trash storage of a size, type and quantity approved by the City shall be screened by a sight obscuring fence and maintained in a location approved by the Planning Commission in conjunction with approval of a project plan.

(4) Screening (Walls, Fences, and Vertical Landscape Features).

(a) No wall, fence or opaque hedge or screening material higher than thirty-six (36) inches shall be maintained within a required front yard in an SSC zone.

(b) A decorative masonry wall at least six (6) feet in height shall be erected along all property lines which lie immediately adjacent to any residential zone. All parking, loading, and access lanes shall be screened from residential neighbors. Planting areas shall also be used to soften the appearance of parking and loading as seen from commercial areas and street thoroughfares, though this landscaping need not be totally sight obscuring.

(c) Exterior roof equipment shall be screened from view.

(d) Refuse bins shall not be located in a front yard, and shall be completely enclosed and screened from view.

(5) Transitional Development Standards. Where a lot in any business, commercial, manufacturing, industrial zone borders a residential zone, the standards set forth in Chapter 14.34.300 shall apply.
