(1)
A "permanent waiver," which may only be amended or revoked under the limited conditions described in Subsection (F)(8) of this Section;
b.
A waiver of any of the three (3) authorized types shall be effective if:
(1)
It contains a full legal description of both the residential property and the adjoining industrial property;
(2)
It is executed by all persons and entities having an interest in the residential property, including all persons and entities having or claiming a lien of any type against such property (except liens for real estate taxes or assessments);
(3)
The owners and lienholders of all residential tracts which adjoin a boundary of commercial or industrial property along the entire length or width of the property for which the waiver is to be effective executes a waiver complying with provisions of this Subsection; provided, however, that a terminable waiver may be granted by an adjoining residential property owner whose property lies at either end of the commercial or industrial tract required to be fenced, without a joinder of all other residential property owners along the common boundary, so long as such waiver would effect only the beginning or ending points of the required fence and if the required fence would not adjoin or connect to another fence required to be constructed on either the same commercial or industrial property or on adjoining or adjacent commercial or industrial property; and
(4)
It is recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Polk County, Missouri.
c.
Prior to accepting waiver(s) for recording pursuant to the provisions of this Subsection, the Zoning Administrator shall require either an owner's and encumbrance report issued by a reputable title company in Polk County, Missouri, or an informational title insurance commitment dated within ten (10) days of the date of the presentation of the waivers to the Administrator. The waiver(s) shall also be accompanied by cash or check for the full amount of the fee to record the same in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Polk County, Missouri, according to the Recorder's fee schedule as may be effective from time to time. It shall be the duty of the Zoning Administrator to obtain an opinion of the City Attorney that the waivers are in form and are signed by all persons or entities required under this Section and is in recordable form.
7.
Agreement For Landscape Barrier In Lieu Of Fence. Further notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (F)(4) the owner(s) of "I-2" property required to construct a fence pursuant to the provisions of these regulations and the owner(s) of any adjoining residential property may agree, in a writing complying with each of the requirements for a waiver as set forth in Subsection (F)(4)(b), to waive the fencing requirements of Subsection (F)(4) in favor of a landscape barrier which would otherwise comply with the provisions of these regulations, if the residential property was across a public right-of-way from the "I-2" property, rather than directly adjoining it. All conditions and requirements of Subsection (F)(4)(b) for a waiver shall be fully applicable to an agreement under this Section and such conditions and requirements are incorporated into this Section haec verba. An agreement for the installation of a landscape barrier in lieu of a fence shall be a permanent waiver.

[R.O. 2009 § 410.240; Ord. No. 782 § 1 (Zoning Regs. Art. 2, Topic "P" Planned Development District §§ 1 – 14), 7-31-1980; Ord. No. 1394 § 9, 8-11-1994; Ord. No. 2998 § XIV, 7-14-2011; Ord. No. 3645, 1-26-2021; Ord. No. 3991, 8-13-2024]
A.
Purpose. The purpose of this district is to provide for elements of flexibility in design, placement, arrangement, bulk and other considerations involved in planned districts; to provide a framework within which the buildings and uses in the planned district may be interrelated with adjacent development and areas; and to maintain the desired overall intensity of land use, desired population densities and desired areas of open space. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, this district will not include any uses that would meet the definitions of adult arcade, adult bookstore, adult video store, adult cabaret, adult motel, adult motion picture theater, or adult theater, as those terms are defined by Section 410.030 of this Code.
B.
Use Of The "P" District. The Planned Development District must always be used in conjunction with one (1) of the other zoning districts, known as the "underlying district." The requirements of the "P" District shall be in addition to the requirements of the underlying district, except that the "P" District may modify some of the regulations of the underlying district in specific situations. A "P" District may be used in conjunction with any of the other zoning districts or with any combination of districts.
An application for rezoning to the "P" District shall include a preliminary development plan and may include a concurrent request to change the underlying zoning classification. If the rezoning is approved, the new district shall include the designation of the underlying district followed by "P." For example, a Planned Development District of an "R-2" District shall be known as "R-2-P."
Approval of the rezoning based on the preliminary development plan shall allow the applicant to submit a final development plan for approval. No building or occupancy permit shall be issued until a final development plan has been approved. The use of the "P" District shall be separate from the subdivision regulations of the City and the development plans required by the "P" District shall not be construed as plats. It is recommended that the subdivision process follow the rezoning/preliminary plan approval, but precede the approval of the final development plan. Re-subdivision may be a prerequisite to approval of the final development plan.

D.
Height Regulations. The height regulations provided for the underlying zoning district shall be required, provided that the allowed height may be increased by one (1) floor or fifteen (15) feet upon a showing that the proposed structure is consistent in scale and bulk to the character of the community and the increase in density as a result of the increase in height does not create an adverse effect on the value or utility of adjacent property.
E.
Yard Regulations. The yard regulations provided for the underlying zoning district shall be required, provided that the yard regulations may be modified upon a showing of sufficient open space accessible to occupants; a separation between structures for firefighting purposes in accordance with currently adopted code; and that there is consistency with the visual character of the community. No yard reductions shall be permitted for those yard spaces which abut another district.
F.
Use Regulations.

The parking areas should be appropriately spaced to serve those units they represent.
4.
The availability of services and location of public utilities shall have the approval of each agency involved. Evidence to this effect shall be presented with the preliminary development plans.
5.
Approval of the final development plan may be conditioned by the Planning Commission or Governing Body to minimize any negative impact on the community.
G.
Application For Rezoning. A petition to change to a "P" Planned District shall be filed with the City, along with the filing fee as set forth by separate ordinance. A preliminary development plan shall be attached and shall include the elements set forth in these regulations. The process for approval shall be the same as for any rezoning as provided by these regulations.

Approval Procedure. Prior to the approval by the Governing Body of the preliminary development plan and the concurrent rezoning to the "P" District, there shall be a newspaper publication and mailing of notice, a public hearing and a recommendation by the Planning Commission. If the Governing Body disagrees with the recommendation, the application shall be returned to the Planning Commission for reconsideration. Approval of the preliminary development plan shall be valid for three (3) years from the date of its approval. The filing and approval of a final development plan for any phase of the area contained in the preliminary plan shall extend the period of validity an additional two (2) years. Final approval of the zoning classification shall be dependent upon approval of the final development plan.
