No building shall have a front, side, <br />or rear abutting a public street which contains <br />exterior facing materials which rapidly deteriorate, or <br />which for any reason are, or quickly become, <br />unsightly. The following are examples of such <br />materials: concrete masonry units, common clay <br />brick, concrete brick, unfinished structural clay tile, <br />sheet metal, other corrugated or plain, and exposed <br />unfinished concrete. Such materials, however, may be <br />used in a special arrangement or combination with <br />other materials of a permanent nature with good <br />architectural design and appeal. <br />(H) The proposed use shall preserve the objectives of this <br />Ordinance and shall be consistent with policy and plan <br />recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />(5) Performance Standards. All uses shall comply with the require- <br />ments of this section. In order to determine whether a proposed <br />use will conform to the requirements of this Ordinance, the <br />Planning Commission may obtain a qualified consultant to testify, <br />whose cost for services shall be borne by the applicant. <br />(A) Fire Protection. Fire prevention and fighting equipment <br />acceptable to the Board of Fire Underwriters and City <br />Council shall be readily available when any activity <br />involving the handling or storage of flammable or explosive <br />materials is carried on. <br />41 <br />
