Sec. 24-4306.C

Apartment buildings must provide centralized collection of trash and recyclable materials adequate to serve the number of dwelling units and meeting the requirements of Sec. 24-4428, Accessory Recycling and Refuse Collection Area, Outdoor, and Sec. 24-5103.G, Access to Shared Facilities.

All ground level and rooftop HVAC and mechanical equipment must be screened from view from the property lines at ground level. Screening must consist of materials used in the principal building's front façade or other materials approved by the Planning Director as allowing the screened area to blend in with its surroundings, supplemented with landscaping.

In the RTH District, the number of dwelling units in a multifamily building must not exceed six.

All multifamily dwellings must be served by public water and sewer.

Any stormwater management facility must be designed and utilized as a water feature amenity or designed and landscaped in a manner consistent with the surrounding development.

Except for junction boxes, meters, and pre-existing overhead utility lines, all utilities serving multifamily dwellings must be underground, except where the Planning Director determines that underground utilities are not practical or desirable for technical or environmental reasons. Junction boxes must be screened from view from the property lines at ground level with approved fencing or landscaping.

In addition to the parking required by Sec. 24-5110, Minimum Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces, an additional five percent of the minimum number of required parking spaces must be provided for recreational vehicles. This parking area must be located in a separate, designated area, must not be located in front of units, and must be landscaped in accordance with Sec. 24-5312, Parking Lot Landscaping. The Planning Director may reduce or waive this requirement where full compliance would be impractical or unnecessary due to the design and layout of the site or the specific type of dwelling units proposed.
