ARTICLE IV. DISTRICT REGULATIONS Page 11 of 15 b. Unadorned prestressed concrete panels, concrete block and unfinished metal shall not be permitted as exterior materials for residential principal and accessory buildings. This restriction shall apply to all principal structures and to all accessory buildings. The city may, at its discretion, allow architecturally enhanced block or concrete panels. c. Accessory buildings shall be architecturally compatible with principal structures. d. All rooftop or ground-mounted mechanical equipment and exterior trash and recycling storage areas shall be fully enclosed or screened so as to be not visible with materials compatible with the principal structure. e. Underground utilities shall be provided for all new and substantially renovated structures (the term "substantially renovated" shall mean when the renovations exceed 30 percent of the prerenovation value of the structure). (16) F/exibility. The uniqueness of each RPUD requires that specifications and standards for streets, utilities, public facilities and subdivisions may be subject to modification from the city ordinances ordinarily governing them. The city council may therefore approve streets, utilities, public facilities and land subdivisions which are not in compliance with usual specifications or ordinance requirements, if it finds that strict adherence to such standards or requirements is not required to meet the intent of this sectionor to protect the health, safety or welfare of the residents of the RPUD, the surrounding area or the city as a whole. (17) Traffic studies. The city may require a traffic analysis to be prepared by a registered traffic engineer approved by the city to assess potential traffic impacts on local streets. If impacts on service levels of roadways and intersections are anticipated, the project will be approved only contingent upon a traffic management plan that adequately mitigates those impacts. The plan may include travel demand management strategies, use of transit facilities or other appropriate measures to reduce traffic generation, and necessary improvements to road systems. The developer shall have the responsibility to install all necessary road system improvements. (18) Building permits. No building or other permit shall be issued for any work on property included within a proposed or approved RPUD development, nor shall any work occur unless such work is in compliance with the proposed or approved RPUD development. (19) Genera/ regulations applicability. The requirements contained in this division pertaining to general regulations for residential districts and performance standards shall apply to a RPUD development as deemed appropriate by the city. (20) Lighting standards. All RPUD developments shall be subject to the general performance standards for lighting in this chapter. (21) Trails. When any portion of the project is within 1,000 feet of a public trail system, pedestrian access shall be provided to the trail system by means of a public trail constructed at the developer's expense. Where public rights-of-way are available, at the city's discretion the trail may utilize the public right-of-way. Trails shall be of bituminous construction, or such other material as may be approved by the city and shall be not less than eight feet in width. (Ord.
