RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council authorize staff to schedule the attached zoning
ordinance revisions for a public hearing and take any other action necessary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
As the City continues to evolve, increasingly more commercial and retail development is
occurring adjacent to residentially zoned property. In the last year, several problems
have arisen as a result of non-residential uses being located near existing single-family
structures. As it is currently written, the zoning ordinance attempts to alleviate these
types of conflicts by requiring a minimum 120 -foot separation for all mechanical
equipment larger than five horsepower from any residentially zoned district. For some
non -residentially zoned properties this creates an extreme hardship without taking in to
consideration the possibility of sound attenuation to reduce the noise impact on
residential property. For example, the "CC" Community Commercial District has a
minimum lot depth requirement of 120 -feet. For a conforming lot adjacent to
residentially zoned property, no mechanical equipment larger than five horsepower can
be located anywhere on the lot without a variance.
Staff has attempted to bring about a more practical, working solution to this issue by
proposing amendments to the noise regulations established in Section 55, Performance
Standards. In this amended section, standards for measurement and permissible noise
levels for daytime and nighttime activities have been established. These standards are
based on the recommendation of an acoustical consultant and are consistent with the
standards that exist in other cities throughout the Metroplex. In essence, if a proposed
0AZCU\memo.sec55
commercial development is located adjacent to any residentially zoned district,
mechanical equipment may be located nearer than 120 -feet to the residentially zoned
property provided that all the standards for noise regulation as stated in Section 55,
Performance Standards have been met. See the attached ordinances.

PARK DISTRICT RELATIVE TO HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council authorize staff to schedule the attached zoning
ordinance revisions for a public hearing and take any other action necessary.
Similar to the hardship that exists with mechanical equipment, a comparative hardship
exists relative to the height of principal structures on commercially zoned property when
located adjacent to an "R-20," "R-12.5," and "R-7.5" Single Family District. For
example, as the ordinance is currently written, in the "CC" Community Commercial
District, the height of a principal structure when located contiguous to a "R-20," "R-12.5,"
or "R-7.5" Single Family District is limited to 25 -feet. However, the height of structures
in the respective single-family districts is limited to 35 -feet. Staff has drafted proposed
amendments that would allow an increase of up to five feet to the height requirement for
principal structures when adjacent to an "R-20," "R-12.5," or "R-7.5" Single Family
District upon approval of a conditional use permit.
