      1. Parapets concealing flat roofs and roof top equipment;
      1. Overhanging eaves;
   1. The form and proportion of new buildings or redevelopment shall be consistent or compatible with the scale, form and proportion of existing development in the area.
   1. Pedestrian Access: Pedestrian access shall be an integral part of the overall design of each commercial development. The pedestrian access should provide not only safe and convenient access to and from off-street parking areas but should also connect with abutting properties and developments so as to create an alternative means of transportation for residents of the downtown:
      1. Sidewalks at least four (4) feet in width shall be provided along all sides of a lot that abut a dedicated public or private street. A continuous internal pedestrian sidewalk shall be provided from the perimeter public sidewalk to the principal customer entrance(s).

Such sidewalks shall be located at the building facade to provide continuous edges; and shall incorporate planting areas for landscaping along the street.
   1. Architectural design should create visual interest through the use of different textures, complementary colors, shadow lines and contrasting shapes indigenous to the downtown. The use of walls in a single color, with little detailing or completely blank, is strongly discouraged.
   1. Monotony of design in single or multiple building projects shall be avoided. Variation of detail, form, and siting shall be used to provide visual interest.
   1. Loading docks, trash enclosures, outdoor storage and similar facilities and functions shall be incorporated into the overall design of the building and the landscaping so that the visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are reduced to as great an extent as possible and are out of view from adjacent properties and public streets.
   1. Building facades that are 100 feet or greater in length shall incorporate recesses and projections along at least 20 percent of the length of the building facade, reflecting the archetype of the downtown. Windows, awnings, and arcades must total at least 60 percent of the facade length abutting any public street.
   1. When a building facade 100 feet or greater in length abuts a residential district, screening of at least six feet in height shall be installed between the building facade and the abutting residential district. Evergreens used as screening may be placed at intervals of 20 feet on center.
   1. Minimum Exterior Building Material Standards: A minimum of 50% of each exterior wall shall consist of one or more of the following materials:
      1. Masonry: Masonry construction shall include all masonry construction which is composed of solid cavity faced or veneered-wall construction, or similar materials.
         1. Stone material used for masonry construction may consist of granite, sandstone, slate, limestone, marble, or other hard and durable all-weather stone. Ashlar, cut stone, and dimensioned stone construction techniques are acceptable.

A. Determination Transition Buffer Requirements. The following procedure shall be followed in determining if a transition buffer is required. Using the matrix in sub-section 19-806.B., Transition Buffer Requirements, of this article:

(1)Identify the minimum zoning classification required to accommodate the proposed use. These classifications are listed under “Proposed Zoning” in the first column.

(2)For Transition Buffer Requirements, identify the actual zoning classification of the abutting site(s). These classifications are listed under the heading “Adjacent Zoning.”

(3)Determine if a transition buffer is required by crossing the previously identified proposed zoning with the adjacent zoning. The letter “R” indicates that a transition buffer is required, otherwise, no transition buffer is required.

Section 13. The City of Goodland Code Section 19-501 will be amended to read as follows:

Sec. 19-501. – Use Table.

The use table of this section provides a tabular summary of the land use types allowed within each base zoning district. The table is intended for reference and does not necessarily reflect all of the regulations that may apply to particular uses or districts. In the event of conflict between the use regulations of Article V and the zoning district regulations of Article IV, the text of the zoning district regulations shall prevail.

1. Permitted (by-Right): Uses identified in a zoning district column of the Use Table with a “P” are “permitted by-right” and shall be permitted in such zoning district, subject to such conditional use regulations as may be indicated in the “conditions” column and all other requirements of this Zoning Ordinance.

B. Conditional Uses: Uses identified in a zoning district column of the Use Table with a “C” are “conditional uses” and shall be permitted in such zoning district if reviewed and approved in accordance with the standards of Article XII. Conditional uses shall be subject to such conditional use regulations as may be indicated in the “use standards” column and all other requirements of this Zoning Ordinance.

C. Not Permitted: Uses not identified in a zoning district column of the Use Table as permitted by-right or by conditional use are not allowed in such zoning district unless otherwise expressly permitted by other regulations of this Zoning Ordinance.

D. Use Standards: A letter in the final “use standards” column of the Use Table refers to conditional use standards applicable to a particular use in one or more of the districts in which such use is allowed. The referenced regulations appear in Section 19-502 of this Article.
