E. Service Areas and Mechanical Equipment. The intent of this provision is to minimize <br /> adverse visual, olfactory, or auditory impacts of mechanical equipment and service areas at <br /> ground and roof levels;provide adequate, durable,well-maintained, and accessible service <br /> and equipment areas; and protect residential uses and adjacent properties from impacts due to <br /> location and utilization of service areas. <br /> Figure 318.070-5 <br /> Locate service elements to reduce impacts on the residential and pedestrian environment <br /> SCREENED <br /> W\ \ <br /> MECHANICAL <br /> EQUIPMENT <br /> DUMPSTER <br /> LOCATED AT <br /> REAR OF ���� <br /> SITE <br /> 111� <br /> 1!lo <br /> A <br /> SASH <br /> R�� / ".'s <br /> %0)0.S` <br /> 1. Service areas (loading docks,trash dumpsters, compactors,recycling areas, and <br /> mechanical equipment areas) shall be located to avoid negative visual,noise,odor, or <br /> physical impacts on the street environment and adjacent residentially zoned properties <br /> and to residential units on the subject property. The City may require evidence that such <br /> elements will not significantly impact neighboring properties or public areas. (For <br /> example,the City may require noise damping specifications for fans near residential <br /> zones.) <br /> 2. Service areas must not be visible from the sidewalk and adjacent properties. Where the <br /> City finds that the only option for locating a service area is either visible from a public <br /> right-of-way or space or from an adjacent property the area must be screened with either <br /> landscape or structural screening measures provided in Regulation E.7 below. <br /> 3. Ground-mounted mechanical equipment must be located and screened,if necessary,to <br /> minimize visual and noise impacts to pedestrians on streets and adjoining properties <br /> 4. Roof mounted mechanical equipment must be located and screened so the equipment is <br /> not visible within 150 feet of the structure when viewed from the ground level of adjacent <br /> streets or properties.Match the color of roof mounted equipment with the exposed color <br /> of the roof to minimize visual impacts when equipment is visible from higher elevations <br /> nearby. <br /> 34 <br /> 116 <br />
