However, should the legislative body take action to impose different conditions than were reviewed and considered by the planning commission, then said conditions shall be resubmitted to the planning commission for further review and recommendation, in accordance with Subsection B., 1., a., above.

        Approval of the R-2b Zone shall require that development be in conformance with the approved Preliminary Development Plan.

        The legislative body shall forward a copy of the approved Preliminary Development Plan to the planning commission, or its duly authorized representative, for further processing, in accordance with the requirements for Final Development Plan and Record Plat.

    SECTION 10.7 R-PUD (RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT) ZONE

  • PURPOSE AND INTENT: The R-PUD Residential PUD Zone is intended to provide alternative, voluntary zoning procedures for residential development and housing. The R-PUD Zone shall be used only when a relatively large land holding under unified ownership is planned and developed as a unit in accordance with an approved overall Preliminary Development Plan and subsequent Final Development Plan(s) for each section of the total land holding. The planning and development of the Planned Unit Development shall be carried out in such a manner as to have minimum adverse effect on the natural features and environment of the planned unit tract and its surrounding areas. Planned Unit Development typically features varied setback lines, dwelling types, and "cluster" type site planning, whereby provisions for maximum overall "gross" density are established to encourage imaginative land planning and efficient use of the land and to permit creation of usable and suitably located common open space for a higher level of amenity within the PUD.
  • USES/DENSITIES PERMITTED, CONDITIONAL USES, AND REQUIRED OPEN SPACE:
    1. Uses Permitted:
      1. Detached single-family dwellings
      2. Multiple-family dwellings and attached single-family dwellings, provided that no more than twenty-five (25) percent of the total PUD land holding shall be utilized for this type of housing
      3. Publicly owned and operated parks and playgrounds
    2. Densities Permitted: There shall be permitted a maximum gross density of 4.5 dwelling units per acre. The zoning lots for single-family dwellings shall not be less than seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square feet and the zoning lots for multiple-family dwellings shall be not less than sixteen thousand (16,000) square feet.
    3. Conditional Uses: No building or occupancy permit shall be issued for any of the following, nor shall any of the following uses or any customary accessory buildings or uses be permitted until and unless the location of said uses shall have been applied for and approved of by the board of adjustment, as set forth in SECTION 9.14 of this ordinance:
      1. Churches, other religious places of worship
      2. Institutions for human medical care - convalescent homes, nursing homes, and homes for the aged
      3. Municipal buildings
      4. Nursery schools
      5. Public and parochial schools
      6. Family child-care homes
        1. Family child-care homes shall be subject to the area and height regulations for permitted uses.
    4. Required Common Open Space: There shall be reserved, within the tract to be developed on a planned unit basis, a minimum land area ranging from fifteen (15) percent to twenty-five (25) percent of the entire tract depending upon the location and character of the land to be set aside as open space. This common open space shall not consist of isolated or fragmented pieces of land which would serve no useful purpose. Included in this common open space may be such uses as: pedestrian walkways, park land, open areas, drainage ways, swimming pools, club houses, tennis courts, and other land of essentially open character, exclusive of off-street parking areas.

      Ownership of this common open space either shall be transferred to a legally established Homeowner's Association or be dedicated to the city of Crestview Hills for use as a public park. The proper legal document necessary for such transfer or dedication shall be prepared by the owner/developer(s) of the tract of land, and approved by the Crestview Hills City Council.

    5. Accessory Uses Permitted
      1. Fences and walls, as regulated by ARTICLE XIII
      2. Home occupations, subject to the restrictions and limitations established in SECTION 9.11

    2. The Stage I Plan must be reviewed by the local planning commission (at this time, the Kenton County and Municipal Planning and Zoning Commission). The planning commission will approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the Stage I Plan. The planning commission will transmit its decision to the legislative body. A majority of the entire membership of the legislative body shall be required to override the recommendation of disapproval by the planning commission.
    3. Should the legislative body take action to impose different conditions than were reviewed and considered by the planning commission, then said conditions shall be resubmitted to the planning commission for further review and recommendation.
    4. After receiving the recommendation of the planning unit, the legislative body will review the Stage I Plan and then vote to approve or disapprove the Stage I Plan.
    5. Minor revisions to the Stage I Plan may be approved by the legislative body without prior review by the planning commission.
    6. After approval of the Stage I Plan, the developer must submit a Stage II Plan to the legislative body for review. The Stage II Plan must be done in accord with Paragraph J., below of this section.
    7. The Stage II Plan must conform to the concepts and general layout of the approved Stage I Plan and the requirements of this ordinance.
    8. The Stage II Plan must include the total HLC Zone, or at least the minimum building site area of six (6) acres.
    9. No site development work may be commenced until the legislative body has approved the Stage II Development Plan.
    10. A developer may waive the requirements of submitting a Stage I Plan and elect to submit the Stage II Plan for review, so long as the Stage II Plan contains all the information required of both a Stage I and Stage II Plan.

    PROCEDURE

    Before a parcel of land can be rezoned to RP-1, or developed within an RP-1 Zone, the developer must submit a Stage I Plan of the proposed development, in accord with ARTICLE I of this section.

    The Stage I Plan is to be used as a guideline for the development of the total research park.

    The Stage I Plan must be reviewed by the city planning unit (at this time, the Kenton County and municipal Planning and Zoning Commission). The planning unit will approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the Stage I Plan. The planning unit will transmit their decision to the city council. The planning unit's decision is in the way of a recommendation and is not binding upon the city council.

    SECTION 10.16.1. OVERVIEW

  • INTENT

    The regulations of the mixed-use (MX) zones are intended to support appropriately scaled redevelopment in the two MX zones mapped to implement locations identified in the Kenton County comprehensive plan as ideal for mixed-use development. Further, these zones are intended to achieve the following:

    1. Sense of Place

      A sense of place defined by human-scaled development consisting of a variety of high-quality buildings and civic spaces with well-designed landscape and streetscapes.

    2. Walkable Development

      Walkable development that is comfortable, safe, and interesting for the pedestrian through the use of appropriately scaled blocks, an interconnected system of streets with multiple choices for routes, and prioritization of streets for pedestrians and vehicles.

    3. Connected Development

      Connected development that provides meaningful, safe, and walkable connections to adjacent neighborhoods and development to eventually provide connectivity throughout the community.

    4. Mixed-Use

      Vibrant places with a “live-work-play” atmosphere, accommodated through a required mix of uses that activate internal streets and civic spaces during the day and into the evenings, and multi-story development that define the public spaces and create “eyes on the street.”

        The shape of a block shall be generally rectangular in order to accommodate typically rectilinear buildings, but may vary due to natural features or site constraints.

      5. Lots and Building Sites Configuration

        All lots or building sites shall have frontage along a street per the building type requirements, unless otherwise specified. Refer to SECTION 10.16.3.3.

        1. With the exception of blocks containing open space, blocks shall typically be fronted with lots or buildings on at least two block faces, preferably on the longest streets.
        2. The configuration of the blocks shall consider alley and service drive inclusion per Section 10.16.2.F.
        3. Blocks may be established including already existing lots and those lots may retain their existing district designation.

    Figure 10.16.2-4

    Example Regulating Plans for Mixed-Use Sites illustrating code requirements

    Figure 10.16.2-5

    Example Regulating Plans for Mixed-Use Sites illustrating code requirements

      1. Block Orientation

        Consider lot and block orientation for maximum energy efficiency, depending on the building type. For example, block orientation along an east-west longitudinal axis will encourage development of long mixed-use buildings oriented along an east-west axis, with smaller east and west facing facades, able to take advantage of passive solar technology.

    1. STREETS

      Complete streets provide for multiple modes of access throughout the city. Refer to Figure 10.16.2-4 and Figure 10.16.2-5 for illustrations of these regulations.

      1. Cul-de-Sacs and Dead-End Streets.

        Cul-de-sac and temporary dead-end streets require a design exception and are permitted only when necessitated by natural features or site constraints, including but not limited to waterways, or highways. If allowed, pedestrian connections and landscape plantings may be required.

      2. Civic Space

        Refer to Section 10.16.2.K for civic open space requirements, including street frontage requirements. Open space, existing and new, shall be fronted with streets to provide more visibility and access.

      3. Base Street Requirements

        The base street type is illustrated in Figure 10.16.2-6. The zoning administrator may require additional street width or configuration based on existing context and circulation needs. The base street defines the minimum components of any new street on the interior of the development and includes the following:

        1. On-Street Parking. On-street parallel parking shall be provided on both sides of all new streets through MX districts. Back-in or head-in, angled parking is acceptable in lieu of parallel parking, but may require additional street space. On-street parking on one side of the street may be approved as a minor exception by the zoning administrator, though parking on both sides is encouraged.
        2. Streetscape
          1. The minimum dimension required for streetscapes along non-residential ground stories is 14 feet, with a clear sidewalk width of at least 6 feet and an 8-foot street tree and furnishings district.
          2. Along residential ground stories, the minimum is 13 feet with a clear sidewalk of at least 5 feet and an 8-foot landscape district (parkway).
          3. See SECTION 10.16.5.A in landscape for streetscape requirements.
          4. A minor exception may be approved by the zoning administrator for up to 2 feet less of any dimension per SECTION 10.16.1.E.
        3. Maximum Pavement Width. The maximum pavement width for all streets internal to the development is 38 feet. Pavement widths wider must include a median in the middle to provide pedestrian refuge and/or bulb-outs to reduce the crossing widths to less than 38 feet.
        4. Medians. Landscape medians are optional and permitted up to a maximum of 15 feet in width. Medians shall accommodate pedestrian crossings. Note that wider spaces within street configurations may be permitted by utilizing a civic space type per Section 10.16.2.K
        5. Reduced Minimum Pavement. When only one lane of on-street parking is approved, the minimum pavement width for a two-way street is 28 feet and the minimum right-of-way width is 54 feet.
        6. Exceptions. A design exception may be approved for other street configurations per SECTION 10.16.1.F.
      4. Bicycle Accommodations

        New streets within the development shall accommodate bicycle access per the City’s most recent bicycle policy. Bicycle accommodations shall be included on through streets and higher activity streets. On non-commercial and lower activity streets, bicycles may share vehicular lanes.

    Frontage Street

    1. ALLEYS, LANES, OR SERVICE DRIVES

      Alleys, lanes, or service drives (see Figure 10.16.2-7) shall be provided through all blocks to provide vehicular access to all lots, except as follows:

      1. Parking Drives

        Parking drives and parking structure drives may serve as alleys/lanes if the drive is continuous through the block with at least 2 access points and serves all lots on the block.

      2. Exception

        A design exception per SECTION 10.16.1.F may be approved per block with one of the following conditions:

        1. A single point of access is all that is required and a non-primary street is available for access.
        2. Natural or existing constraints limit the block depth and no more than 2 vehicular access points are required for the lots on the block.
    2. PRIMARY STREET DESIGNATION

      The orientation and location of buildings on lots is determined by the primary street designation. Some building type requirements are specific to the primary street frontage. Primary street frontages prioritize the street frontages for locating the front facade of the building and limit vehicular access to parking off these streets.

      1. Minimum Designation

        A minimum of 50 percent of a combination of the new streets in the development and existing streets fronting the development shall be designated as primary streets. A design exception may be approved for up to a 20 percent reduction in the minimum requirement for streets treated as primary. Refer to SECTION 10.16.1.F for the design exception process.

      2. Building Frontage

        Primary streets shall be designated so that all building lots or sites front at least one primary street, except for up to 20 percent of the lots or building sites may front a non-primary street.

      3. Civic Space Frontage

        Where practicable, streets along civic space or other open space shall be designated as primary streets to ensure buildings front the open space. Refer to Section 10.16.2.K for civic space regulations.

      4. Driveways and Alleys/Lanes

        Driveways and alleys/lanes to building sites or lots shall not be located off a primary street, except when the lot/site is fronted by more than two primary streets and/or there is no other alternative access.

      5. Major Streets

        When the development abuts a major street, including Dixie Highway, Turkeyfoot Road, or Thomas More Parkway, one of the following layouts shall be utilized to create slower, more accessible, and more walkable streets for fronting commercial or mixed-use buildings than the major street would provide:

        1. Perpendicular. New primary streets shall be located generally perpendicular to existing major streets.
        2. Frontage Street. A new primary street shall be provided essentially parallel to the major street with a landscape buffer island separating the streets of at least 8 feet. Refer to Figure 10.16.2-8 for Typical Frontage Layout.
    3. PEDESTRIAN ACCESS

      Connections to the MX districts from surrounding sites and neighborhoods and within the site is encouraged. Refer to Figure 10.16.2-4 and Figure 10.16.2-5 for key locations where pedestrian connections may be required, when practicable, in addition to sidewalks along streets. Connections may include the following:

      1. Mid-Block Pedestrian Paths within Development

        Mid-block pedestrian paths may be located on blocks within the development that are longer than the maximum block sizes, approved by the zoning administrator during the Master Development Approval process. Refer to Figure 10.16.2-9 for illustrative images.

        1. Mid-Block Pedestrian Paths to Adjacent Sites. Mid-block pedestrian paths may also be located to provide a connection between the development and adjacent neighborhood sidewalks.
        2. Where approved by the property owner, the neighborhood, and the municipality, paths shall be located in a public easement.
        3. Pedestrian paths to adjacent sites shall be a minimum of 5 feet in width and located in a minimum 12-foot easement.
        4. Landscaping and other amenities may be required by the neighborhood, property owner, or municipality.
        5. Where the path is located on the applicant’s property, shade trees shall be provided at an average minimum of 40 feet on center along the path. Refer to SECTION 9.17 for landscape regulations.
      2. Pedestrian Tunnels

        Where pedestrian tunnels under larger streets are planned for access adjacent to the applicant’s property, the applicant shall provide clearance for appropriately sloped access to the tunnel. A dedicated easement may be required per the zoning administrator.

      3. Street Crosswalks

        Crossings at all street intersections shall include a clear pedestrian path across streets (crosswalks) with accessibility ramps at curbs, demarcated by paint, stamped patterns, or pavers. Raised crosswalks are encouraged. Refer to Figure 10.16.2-10 for illustrative images.

    4. LANDSCAPE BUFFERS
      1. A landscape buffer, minimum 45 feet in depth, is required where any MX district or new street abuts any existing single-family district. Refer to SECTION 10.16.5.C.2 for planting requirements.
      2. Landscape buffers do not count towards civic space requirements per SECTION 10.16.5.K, unless the buffer is treated as a greenway.
    5. VISTAS

      Views down streets shall be considered when laying out streets and locating open space, parking, and buildings. See Figure 10.16.2-11 for illustrative images of appropriately terminated vistas.

      1. Rears of Buildings

        The location of open space and streets shall not create views of the rear of buildings or parking behind buildings.

      2. Street Termini

        When a street terminates at a parcel, the parcel shall be occupied by one of the following:

        1. Open Space. If the parcel is open space, any civic space type shall be utilized and a vertical element shall terminate the view. Acceptable vertical elements include, but are not limited to, a stand or group of trees, a sculpture, a gazebo or other public structure, or a fountain.
        2. Building. If the parcel is not utilized as an open space, the facade of a building, whether fronting a primary street or not, shall terminate the view. The building shall incorporate one of the following treatments to terminate the view: a tower, a bay, or a courtyard.
        3. Parking. In no case, shall a parking structure or a surface parking lot terminate a vista.

    Figure 10.16.2-11

        1. A minimum of 10% of the total development site shall be provided as one of the civic space types, and
        2. One type of civic space is required within a 500-foot distance, as measured continuously along a sidewalk, from the principal entrance of all residential and live-work units, and all other buildings. The intent is to provide usable open space within a short walkable distance for all occupants and visitors.
      2. Types of Civic Space

        The following types of civic space are permitted. A mix of types is required, with not more than 3 of any one type utilized. Refer to Figure 10.16.2-12 for example images.

        1. Plaza. A plaza is a generally hardscaped area (minimum 60 percent coverage), minimum 1/8 acre in size, with either street, pedestrianway, or building frontage on all sides and at least one side the equivalent of 25 percent of the perimeter fronting a primary street. A single plaza may not fulfill the minimum open space requirements; if a plaza is utilized to meet the distance requirement, another open space shall be incorporated in another location on the site.
        2. Square. A square is a combination of hardscape and landscape (approximately 50% and 50% respectively), minimum 1/4 acre in size, and surrounded by street frontage on all sides.
        3. Green. A green is a generally landscaped space (minimum 70 percent), minimum 1/2 acre with street frontage on at least 50 percent of the perimeter.

    SECTION 10.16.3. BUILDING TYPES & USES

  • INTRODUCTION
    1. Applicability

      This section establishes the building form and use regulations for new buildings, additions, and exterior renovations within the MX districts defined in SECTION 10.16.1.C.

    2. Building Types Permitted

      Each building type shall be constructed only within its designated location as defined by the master development plan.

      1. No Other Building Types. All principal buildings constructed shall meet the standards of the permitted building types.
      2. Multiple Principal Buildings on One Lot. For all building types, multiple principal buildings are permitted on all lots; however, each building must meet the requirements of the building type, unless otherwise noted.
      3. Permanent Structures. All buildings constructed shall be permanent construction without a chassis, hitch, or wheels, or other features that would make the structure mobile, unless otherwise noted.
    3. Uses by Building Type

      Refer to Sec. 10.16.3.I for uses permitted per building type. Building types may have additional standards on permitted uses.

  • DESCRIPTION AND INTENT OF BUILDING TYPES

    The following defines the intent behind each building type. Regulations for each building type are established on the following pages.

    1. Storefront Building Type

      The Storefront building type is a highly pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use building. Ground story storefront is required along all primary streets with retail sales, eating and drinking establishments, and a variety of service uses to provide activity. Upper story uses are flexible. Parking is located in the rear, screened from the primary street by the building.

    2. General Building Type

      The General building type is a basic building that can accommodate a wide range of uses, from residential as apartment and/or condominium buildings to offices. The General building type does not call for ground-floor storefront glass, requiring the same minimum level of transparency on the ground and upper stories. Additionally, unlike the Storefront building type, the ground story may be elevated above the sidewalk level.

    3. Row Building Type

      The Row building type is similar to the General building, but is smaller in scale and divided into a series of vertical units each with separate entrances. Townhouses, rowhouses, or live-work units exemplify this building type.

    4. Civic Building Type

      The Civic building type is the most flexible building, meant to allow for singular, more iconic designs or buildings set back with landscape surrounding. This building type, however, is limited to civic and institutional uses.

  • GENERAL BUILDING TYPE REQUIREMENTS

    The following applies to all building types.

    1. General Design Requirements

      Refer to SECTION 10.16.4.4 for General Building Design requirements and SECTION 10.16.5.5 for General Site Design requirements.

    2. Build to the Corner

      The intersections of two build-to districts at a corner shall be occupied by building. Refer to Figure 10.16.3-15 Build-to Corner and Build-to Districts.

    3. Primary and Non-Primary Street Frontages

      A hierarchy of frontages is established for the MX districts by the definition of primary streets on the master development plan. Refer to SECTION 10.16.2.G for information on the location of primary and non-primary streets.

      1. Arterial Primary Streets. Unless otherwise determined by the master development plan, Dixie Highway, Town Center Boulevard, Turkeyfoot Road, and Thomas More Parkway shall be treated as primary streets.
      2. Frontages along Civic or Open Space. Building sites containing or abutting civic spaces or public ways shall treat facades abutting that space as primary frontage facades, unless a design exception is approved per SECTION 10.16.1.F.
      3. Corners. At all intersections of primary and non-primary streets, primary frontage facade treatments shall extend along the facade of the non-primary street from the corner a minimum of 30 feet along the facade. Refer to Figure 10.16.3-16 for an example of this regulation.
      4. Non-Primary Frontages. Non-primary frontages allow for a lower level of facade treatment as well as permit locations for garage and parking lot driveways entrances. Non-primary frontages may always be treated at the higher level of a primary frontage.
      5. Two Primary Streets. When multiple primary streets abut a parcel, the zoning administrator shall determine which frontages shall serve as the primary, unless otherwise specified. A minimum of 50 percent of boundary or lot frontage is recommended to be treated as primary frontage.
      6. No Primary Streets. When no primary streets abut a parcel, the zoning administrator shall determine which frontages shall serve as the primary, unless otherwise specified. A minimum of 50 percent of boundary or lot frontage is recommended to be treated as primary frontage.
    4. Landscape and Hardscape Areas

      The following establishes the required landscape and hardscape treatments permitted for the site other than building locations:

      1. Landscape Areas. All street yards, build-to districts, side yards, and rear yards not covered by buildings, parking, or driveway shall contain either landscape, patio space, or sidewalk space. Maximum impervious and semi-pervious site requirements for each building type apply, unless otherwise stated.
        1. Landscape includes trees and ground plane vegetation per SECTION 10.16.5.C.
        2. Patio space is outdoor living space that includes seating, outdoor eating, or outdoor display.
        3. Sidewalk is any walking surface serving as a path between points of interest or access.
      2. Permitted Parking and Driveway Locations. Parking areas and driveway locations are permitted in specific locations by building type regulations. Generally, parking is not permitted in street yards, unless specifically noted.
      3. Build-to Districts and Setbacks. Parking and driveways are not permitted in build-to districts or setbacks except as follows:
        1. Where driveway access is permitted off streets, driveways may cross perpendicularly through the build-to district or setback with a maximum width of 22 feet for two way driveways and 12 feet for one way and single-family residential driveways.
    5. Driveways and Vehicular Access

      Parking locations on a lot or building site are defined by building type. Driveway and vehicular access for all building types, unless otherwise defined, is allowed as follows:

      1. Alleys, Lanes, and Service Drives. Alleys, lanes, and service drive locations are established by the master development plan. Refer to SECTION 10.16.2.F.
      2. Driveways off Streets. If no alley is planned, one driveway or garage entrance is permitted off non-primary street or facade.
      3. Row Building Alley Access off Streets. If no alley exists or is required per the master development plan, a private alley is required with access off a non-primary street for row buildings. One access point is permitted off a non-primary street for every 150 feet of street frontage.
      4. Visibility of Garage Doors. Row building type units shall be configured so that garage doors are fully screened from the primary street by the building.
    6. Accessory Structures

      Use of accessory structures other than parking structures requires a design exception. Drive-through structures are expressly prohibited per SECTION 10.16.2.I.

    7. Utility Structures

      Minor utility structures not located within buildings and permitted in the MX districts are exempted from the building type standards, but are subject to all other standards. Refer to SECTION 9.17 for landscape screening requirements.

    1. CAP TYPES

      The major components of any roof shall meet the requirements of one of the cap types permitted per building type. Roofs for bay or bow windows and dormers are not required to meet a cap type.

      1. Parapet Cap Type

        (Refer to Figure 10.16.3-29 Example of a Parapet Cap Type). A parapet is a low wall projecting above a building’s roof along the perimeter of the building.

        1. Parapet Height. Height is measured from the top of the upper story to the top of the parapet. Minimum height is 2 feet with a maximum height of 6 feet. Horizontal shadow lines. An shadow line shall define the parapet from the upper stories of the building and shall also define the top of the cap. Refer to SECTION 10.16.6.A for definition of shadow line.
        2. Occupied Building Space. Occupied building space shall not be incorporated behind this cap type.
        3. Rooftop Appurtenances. With the exception of solar panels, any rooftop appurtenances shall be located towards the rear or interior of the parapet roof. The parapet shall screen the mechanicals from the elevation of the sidewalk across the street
    Figure 10.16.3-29

    Example of a Parapet Cap Type

      1. Flat Cap Type

        (Refer to Figure 10.16.3-30 Example of a Flat Cap Type). This cap type is a visibly flat roof with overhanging eaves.

        1. Configuration. The roof shall have no visible slope from the street and eaves are required on all primary and non-primary frontage facades.
        2. Eave Depth. Eave depth is measured from the building facade to the outside edge of the eave. Eaves shall have a depth of at least 14 inches.
        3. Eave Thickness. Eave thickness is measured at the outside edge of the eave, from the bottom of the eave to the top of the eave. Eaves shall be a minimum of 6 inches thick.
        4. Interrupting Vertical Walls. Vertical walls may interrupt the eave and extend above the top of the eave with no discernible cap.
          1. No more than one-third of the front facade may consist of an interrupting vertical wall.
          2. Vertical walls shall extend no more than 8 feet above the top of the eave.
        5. Occupied Building Space. Occupied building space shall not be incorporated behind this cap type.
        6. Rooftop Appurtenances. With the exception of solar panels, any rooftop appurtenances shall be located behind the interrupting vertical wall with no visibility on any street elevation drawing.

    Figure 10.16.3-30
    Example of a Flat Cap Type

      1. Pitched Cap Type

        (Refer to Figure 10.16.3-31 Examples of Pitched Cap Type). This cap type is a sloped or pitched roof. Slope is measured with the vertical rise divided by the horizontal span or run.

        1. Pitch Measure. The roof may not be sloped less than a 4:12 (rise:run) or more than 14:12. Slopes less than 4:12 are permitted to occur on second story or higher roofs.
        2. Configurations.

          Hipped, gabled, and combination of hips and gables with or without dormers are permitted.

          Butterfly (inverted gable roof) and shed roofs are permitted with a maximum height of 8 feet, inclusive of overhang.

          1. Gambrel and mansard roofs are not permitted.
        3. Parallel Ridge Line. A gabled end or perpendicular ridge line shall occur at least every 100 feet of roof when the ridge line runs parallel to the primary frontage. (Refer to Figure 10.16.3-31 Examples of Pitched Cap Type).
        4. Roof Height. Roofs without occupied building space and/or dormers shall have a maximum height on primary and non-primary frontage facades equal to no more than 1.5 times the upper story floor to floor height utilized on the building.
        5. Occupied Building Space. Occupied building space may be incorporated behind this cap type. If used, the space counts as a half story.
        6. Rooftop Appurtenances. With the exception of solar panels, any rooftop appurtenances shall be recessed within the pitched roof with no visibility on any street elevation drawing.

    Examples of Pitched Cap Type

      1. Other Cap Types

        Special cap designs otherwise not defined in this section may be approved through an minor design exception during the design review process with the following requirements:

        1. The building shall warrant a separate status from the majority of buildings in the district, with a correspondence between the form of the cap and the building use, such as a dome for a planetarium, a dome for a place of worship, or a unique, singular roof for a more distinctive city hall.
        2. The cap type shall not create additional occupiable space beyond that permitted by the building type.
        3. The scale and type of the cap type shall be consistent with the character of city and the area within which it is located.
        4. The shape of the roof shall be different from those defined in this SECTION 10.16.3.H. Cap Types, such as a dome, spire, or vault, and not a gabled roof, hipped roof, butterfly roof, gambrel roof, mansard roof, roof with parapet, or flat roof.
      2. Towers

    SECTION 10.16.4. GENERAL BUILDING DESIGN

  • APPLICABILITY

    The following design requirements apply to all building types unless otherwise stated.

  • INTENT

    The following specific intent statements apply to these design requirements in addition to the general intent stated in 10.16.1.

    1. General

      The requirements of this Section 10.16.4.4, in conjunction with the requirements of SECTION 10.16.3.3 Building Types & Uses, are intended to improve the physical quality of buildings, improve the long-term value and durability of buildings, enhance the pedestrian experience, and protect or establish the character of the city.

    2. Durable, High Quality

      The minimum design standards are intended to ensure use of well-tested, high quality, durable, weather-resistant, exterior grade, preferably natural materials on the majority of finished surfaces, while permitting a wider range of materials for details. High quality materials can improve the quality of buildings in that they weather well, have a low failure rate, require a low level of maintenance, have a longer life cycle and sense of permanence, and maintain higher long term value.

    3. Simple, Well Organized Facades

      The design requirements are intended to promote simpler, well organized facades that are easy to comprehend and have a clear hierarchy.

    4. Human-Scaled Building Units

      The design requirements are intended to yield building facade proportion that are comfortable to and in line with the scale of people. Additionally, a high level of detail relates facades to pedestrians and makes them more inviting.

  • MAJOR FACADE MATERIALS

    A minimum of 70 percent of each street and non-street facade surface, not including window and door areas, shall be composed of major materials per Table 10.16-3.3.

    1. Simplicity of Surface Materials

      A minimum of 60 percent of each building or 60-foot or wider facade division, not including window and door areas, shall be faced of a single major material. See Figure 10.16.4-33.

        1. Changes in Surface Materials. Changes in surface materials, whether major materials or minor materials, shall occur only at concave corners, minimum 12” deep. Surface materials are materials intended to cover the facade surface (such as unit materials, siding, stucco, panels) and do not include detail materials, such as but not limited to cast stone for lintels or cornices, exposed metal beams, or any material used to create an shadow line. See Figure 10.16.4-35.
        2. Materials Hierarchy. Unit materials shall be elevated from the face of the building above less detailed, surface materials. For example, stucco, as a constant surface material, shall be recessed behind a bricked surface. See Figure 10.16.4-35 for an example, where Material A is brick, Material B metal panels, and Material C stucco.
      3. Shadow Lines on Surfaces

        Shadow lines shall be created at changes in materials with solid materials of a thickness that is greater than 2 inches, such as cast stone, masonry, or stone. For example, cast stone pieces may be offset to create a shadow, where the convex corner of the piece is used to create the corner of the detail.

      4. Appropriate Grade of Materials

        Except the Row building type, all doors, windows, and hardware shall be of commercial grade quality.

      5. Applique Materials

        Materials with thickness of less than 2.5 inches, including but not limited to stucco, shall not be used or formed to create shadow lines.

      6. Stucco Installation

        Any stucco construction shall be of the highest installation quality, meeting the following criteria:

        1. Jointing. All stucco joints shall be aligned along the facade in the pattern shown on the elevations submitted for the site plan approval. Joints shall also align with the locations of windows and doors and other changes in material.
        2. Construction. The stucco wall assembly shall be indicated on the plans specifying stucco type and construction.

Driveway entrances are not located off primary streets, unless no other option exists. Primary streets are delineated on the master development plan. Refer to SECTION 10.16.2.G for explanation of primary streets related to the master development plan and SECTION 10.16.3.B.3 for explanation of primary streets related to building types.

      6. Public Way

        Any street, lane, drive, pedestrianway, trails, or multi-use path, but not alley.

      7. Shadow line

        An architectural feature consisting of a decorative, three-dimensional, linear element, horizontal or vertical, protruding or indented a minimum depth from the exterior facade of a building, typically utilized to delineate the top or bottom of floors or stories of a building, and intended to create a linear shadow. Examples may include cast stone cornices, pilasters, or stepped brick coursing. Refer to Figure 10.16.6-60 for examples of shadow lines.

    1. Measuring

      The following explains the standards outlined on the tables in 10.16.3. Building Types & Uses, specific to each building type, refer to SECTION 10.16.3.D through SECTION 10.16.3.G.

      1. Minimum Primary Frontage Coverage

        The minimum percentage of building facade along the primary frontage of a lot is designated on each building type table.

        1. Measurement. The width of the principal structures (as measured within the build-to zone along the frontage edge) is divided by the length of the frontage parallel to the boundary line, right-of-way line, or property line following the street. Refer to Figure 10.16.6-62 Minimum Primary Frontage Coverage. A boundary line is designated on the master development plan to delineate the space of a street or building site.
        2. Courtyards.
          1. Definition. A courtyard is an outdoor area enclosed by a building or buildings on at least three sides for at least 75 percent of the length of each side, and open to the sky.
          2. Applies to Coverage. Where noted by building type, courtyards maximum of 30% of facade width or 30 feet wide, whichever is less, may count towards the minimum primary frontage coverage.
        3. Civic Space Type. Open spaces per civic space type requirements are exempt from minimum primary frontage coverage.
    Figure 10.16.6-62

    Minimum Primary Frontage Coverage

      1. Build-to Zone

        The build-to zone is designated separately for each frontage of the building types per the building type table regulations. Refer to Figure 10.16.6-63 Build-to zones.

        1. Definition. Build-to zone is an area in which the front or corner side facade of a building shall be placed; it may or may not be located directly abutting a boundary or lot line. The district dictates the minimum and maximum distance a structure may be placed from a boundary or lot line.
        2. Measurement. The build-to zone for all frontages is measured from the boundary or lot line parallel to the frontage, unless otherwise noted. When additional streetscape area is required beyond the street boundary line, the build-to zone is measured from the edge of the required streetscape onto the site.
        3. Height. All primary frontage facades must be located within the build-to zone.
        4. Encroachments. Awnings, balconies, and building mounted signage may extend up to 3 foot beyond the build-to zone into any yard area, but may not extend beyond a street boundary line or right-of-way unless otherwise expressly approved by the City.
    Figure 10.16.6-63

    Build-to Districts

      1. Setbacks

        Building setbacks are designated separately for each building type per the building type table regulations. Setbacks are typically defined to establish minimum interior side and rear yards, but in some cases, are utilized to establish minimum street yards along primary and non-primary frontages.

        1. Definition. Setback is the minimum horizontal distance from a boundary line, property line, or other building into the lot or building site, beyond which a building may be placed.
        2. Measurement. The setback is measured perpendicularly from the boundary line, property line, or other building into the lot or building site.
      2. Impervious and Semi-Pervious Site Coverage

        Site impervious coverage and additional semi-pervious coverage shall be calculated and measured as follows. Refer to Figure 10.16.3-18.

        1. Definitions.
          1. Impervious Site Coverage. The percentage of a lot or building site developed with principal or accessory structures and impervious surfaces, such as driveways, sidewalks, and patios.
          2. Pervious Surface. Also referred to as pervious material. A material or surface that allows for the absorption of water into the ground or plant material.
          3. Semi-Pervious Surface. Also referred to as semi-pervious material. For the purposes of this Section 200, a material or surface that allows for at least 40% absorption of water into the ground or plant material, such as pervious pavers, permeable asphalt, permeable concrete, and gravel, and including vegetated or green roofs. Refer to the Kenton County Subdivision regulations for details for pervious paving.
        2. Measurement.
          1. Maximum Site Impervious Coverage. The maximum site impervious coverage is calculated as the maximum percentage of the area of a lot or building site covered by structures, pavement, and other impervious surfaces.
          2. Additional Semi-Pervious Coverage. In addition to the allowable impervious coverage on a site, a maximum percentage of the lot or building site of additional semi-pervious coverage is permitted.
    Figure 10.16.6-64

    Site Impervious and Semi-Pervious Coverage

      1. Limited Parking

        Limited side yard parking means one double or single loaded aisle, perpendicular to the street, maximum 65’ in width as measured along the primary frontage boundary or lot line. Refer to Figure 10.16.6-65 for an illustration of limited side yard parking.

    Illustration of Limited Side Yard Parking

      1. Ground Story and Upper Stories, Minimum and Maximum Height

        (Refer to Figure 10.16.3-19 Measuring Stories with Floor-to-Floor Height).

        1. Definitions.
          1. Story, Ground. Also referred to as ground floor. The first floor of a building that is level to or elevated above the finished grade on the front and corner facades, excluding basements or cellars.
          2. Story, Half. A story either in the base of the building, partially below grade and partially above grade (“basement”), or a story fully within the roof structure with transparency facing the street.
          3. Story, Upper. Also referred to as upper floor. The floors located above the ground story of a building.
          4. Visible Basement. A half story partially below grade and partially exposed above with required transparency on the street facade.
        2. Minimum Overall Height. Minimum heights require a minimum number of stories on the primary frontage facades of the building.
          1. The building must meet the minimum required height for the first 30 feet of occupied building space measured from the primary frontage facade into the building.
          2. False stories are not permitted.
        3. Maximum Overall Height. Maximum heights are specified both in number of stories and overall dimension. This requirement applies to the entire building.
        4. Towers. Where noted, towers may exceed the overall maximum height per 10.16.3.I Cap Types.
        5. Cap Type. Where noted, certain cap types may allow additional height.
        6. Two Half Stories. Refer to 10.16.6.B.6.a, above, for definition of a half story. A building incorporating both a half story within the roof and a visible basement shall count the height of the two half stories as one full story.
    Figure 10.16.6-66

    Measuring Stories with Floor-to-Floor Height

      1. Minimum & Maximum Height per Story

        Each story is measured with a range of permitted floor-to-floor heights. Refer to Figure 10.16.3-21 Measuring Minimum Facade Transparency.

        1. Measurement. Floor height is measured in feet between the floor of a story to the floor of the story above it. Minimum and maximum floor-to-floor heights are required to be met on floors along facades, a minimum of 80 percent of each story.
        2. Single Story Buildings & Top Floor Measurement. For single story buildings and the uppermost story of a multiple story building, floor-to-floor height shall be one foot less than noted per building type and measured from the floor of the story to the ceiling.
        3. Mezzanines. Mezzanines may be included within the floor-to-floor height of any story, included in the calculation of stories. Mezzanines occupying more than 30 percent of the floor area below and extending above the story’s allowable floor-to-floor height shall count as an additional story, including articulation of the story per SECTION 10.16.4.L.
        4. Taller Spaces. Spaces exceeding the allowable floor-to-floor heights of the building are not permitted on primary frontage facades. These spaces are unlimited on interior lots and non-primary frontage facades, but shall be counted as the number of stories that would fit within their height.
    Figure 10.1.6.6-68

    Measuring Minimum Facade Transparency

      1. Minimum Required Transparency

        Per the requirements of each building type, a minimum amount of transparency is required on all stories of all facades.

        1. Degree of Transparency. Highly transparent, low reflectance windows means a minimum of 50 percent transmittance factor and a reflectance factor of not greater than 0.25.
        2. Measurement. Minimum facade transparency is measured from floor-to-floor of each story separately. Refer to Figure 10.16.3-21 Measuring Minimum Facade Transparency. Transparency, defined in 10.16.1.I. Definitions, includes windows and any glass in doors that is highly transparent with low reflectance. The measurement may include the frame, mullions, and muntins, but shall not include trim or casing.
        3. Blank Wall Segments. No more than a 15-foot wide section, measured horizontally, and no more than 30 percent of any story shall be without transparency.
        4. Exception. When a facade of any story is located within 3 feet of a parallel building facade, no minimum transparency is required for that story.
        5. Minimum Ground Story Transparency. When required by the building type, ground story transparency shall be measured between 2 feet and either 8 or 10 feet, as noted, from the average grade at the base of the facade. Minimum ground story transparency supersedes the overall minimum transparency required for the building type.
        6. Tall Stories. Stories that are 18 feet or taller in height shall be counted as 2 stories for the purpose of calculating minimum facade transparency, with each horizontal half of the story calculated separately.
        7. Half Stories. All half stories located within roof structure and visible basements are required to meet the minimum transparency.
      2. Minimum Number of Required Entrances

      Entrances shall be provided consistent with the entrance location and number requirements established for the building type and consistent with Figure 10.16.3-20.
