Architectural Design Standards 3.17.170. Downtown Lighting Standards 3.17.010. Purpose and Objectives The CBD is established to recognize the historic central retail and service center of the City. Front setbacks are not common and lot coverage may approach or be one hundred percent. On-street parking serves many of the businesses. Office and residential uses are encouraged on the upper floors of the downtown buildings. The CBD Zone is intended to be located only in the central core area of the City and to be expanded out from that central area in an orderly and progressive manner as the demand for additional commercial land is generated. The CBD Zone is to be characterized by wide, clean, well-lighted streets, ample pedestrian ways, and vehicular parking lots for the convenience and safety of the public. Attractive, inviting, and well-maintained shops, stores, offices, and other buildings are also characteristic of this zone. Signing of shops and business establishments should be simple and attractive with signs mounted flat against the building to reduce the sign clutter and enhance the aesthetics of the downtown area. Blade signs that are placed between eleven (11) feet and sixteen (16) feet above sidewalk are allowed in the right-of-way as approved by City Engineer. The uses characteristic of this zone are retail stores, banks, office buildings, theaters, hotels, and a wide variety of specialty shops and retail outlets. Conversely, uses which tend to create business dead spots, cause undue scattering of business, and generally tend to thwart the use of the land for its primary purpose have been excluded from the zone. This zone will tend to encourage an architectural theme which will strengthen the continuity of the downtown area and give it a "character" with which the citizens of Rexburg can identify. The CBD Zone is a mixed-use zone and residential uses are encouraged. Residential dwelling density shall not exceed forty (40) dwelling units per acre. 3.17.020. Permitted Uses a. Categories.

Any fence, wall, screen, hedge or other material serving as a fence, shall not create a sight distance hazard to vehicular or pedestrian traffic as determined by the Rexburg City traffic engineer. The following standards shall apply in all residential projects in the CBD Zone: i. Front Yard. Solid walls, fences, hedges or screening materials which are sight obscuring may be built to a maximum of three (3) feet in any required front yard perimeter. ii. Side Yard.

Developments in the Central Business District shall implement projects with an overall community design in mind and in conformance with the downtown blueprint hereby adopted. The need exists for Design Standards to be in place to ensure developments are coordinated into the overall community presentation and to preserve the integrity of the existing business district and the downtown as the “center” of the community. b. Background and Justification. The basis for all development within our Community is set forth in the Development Code, Subdivision Regulations, and the Comprehensive Plan. The Development Code for the City of Rexburg states that the purpose of the Ordinance is to promote the general welfare by establishing and regulating zoning districts. Page 96 of 355 City of Rexburg Development Code: CBD The purpose of these standards is to augment the existing criteria contained in the CBD Zone and those contained in the Development Code and Subdivision Ordinance, with more specific interpretations that apply to the design commercial developments in the Central Business District. These standards require a basic level of architectural variety, compatible scale, pedestrian and bicycle access, and mitigation of negative impacts. c. Architectural Design Standards are reviewed by the Design Review Committee by appointment. The standards are not prescriptive as in other commercial zones and do not need to meet the guidelines found in Section 413 of the Development Code. The intent is to allow flexibility in design while reviewing projects Downtown Guiding Principles Development Framework for compliance to the and as described below: i. Guiding Downtown principles.
