The following standards will apply to a new large retail establishment and/or complex that meets or exceeds 30,000 square feet of planned building footprint or gross floor area, whichever is greater, or has a facade length that is 100 feet or more along any street frontage.

An existing large retail establishment of said square footage or length or greater shall comply with these standards if proposed renovations or improvements exceed 50 percent of the market value.

These design standards supplement the applicable standards in this title and apply to all large retail establishments allowed as a permitted use with a site plan review in a designated commercial zone (CN, CBD, CBH, CH and CI). In addition, the applicant does have the option of using the Old Town design standards if the site conditions facilitate their use or a design preference of the applicant’s registered architect. The underlying zoning standards shall apply; however, if a discrepancy exists, the following standards shall apply. [Ord. 851 § 2; Ord. 817 § 8-3K.230, 2006.]
