Except as limited pursuant to Section 2.12.324 Parcels Adjoining Residential Districts—Additional Development Regulations for New Construction, limited visibility of truck staging areas, as necessary only for truck access to and from the site, may be permitted in I Districts if no other alternative layout is practical. 2. The storage of merchandise, materials, and/or equipment at height above the screening wall is not permitted, unless the Zoning Enforcement Official grants administrative approval upon finding that: (a) the limitation in storage would not be practical for the subject business, and (b) such stored items would not be visually obtrusive from a public street or neighboring property.
