102-1275. Specific standards for uses that have a canopy.

A new structure that is constructed after August 19, 2001, that incorporates the use of a canopy as an element of the new structure, shall locate said canopy to the side or rear of the main structure, and the canopy shall be incorporated into the design of the structure, unless there is no practical alternative. The applicant shall be required to provide an analysis to the code enforcement officer or planning board that identifies potential structure and canopy locations and how internal traffic circulation would occur based on the identified alternative locations. The code enforcement officer or planning board shall be responsible for determining if there is no practical alternative to locating the canopy to the front of the main structure.

This standard, section 102-1275, shall not apply to structures that had a canopy as an element of the existing structure that existed on or before August 19, 2001. These structures and the associated canopy may be expanded subject to provisions of City ordinances.
