(A)

Zoning Districts. The City is hereby divided into zones as shown on the Zoning Map. A digital Zoning Map created through the use of geographic information technology was adopted July 28, 2003 and is used in the administration and enforcement of these zoning regulations. The Map as amended and all explanatory material shall be considered as part of this Title as fully as if it were set out in this Chapter in detail. A copy of the Zoning Map is maintained in the office of the Planning and Zoning Department.

(B)

Classification of New Additions. All additions and annexations of land to the City shall be designated G-A, General Agriculture district, unless otherwise classified by the City Council.

(C)

Interpretation of District Boundaries. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply.

(1)

Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerlines of public right-of-way such centerlines, street lines, or highway, right-of-way lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.

(2)

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerlines or street lines of public right-of-ways, or the centerlines or right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such scaled distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map.

(3)

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.

(4)

Whenever any public right-of-way or easement is vacated, the district classifications of the property to which the vacated portions of land accrue shall become the classification of the vacated land.

(5)

Where the boundary of a district line follows a railroad line such boundary shall be deemed to be located on the easement line to which it is closest, which shall completely include or exclude the railroad easement unless otherwise designated.

(6)

In unsubdivided property, unless otherwise indicated, the district boundary line on the Zoning Map shall be determined by the use of the scale contained on such map.

(7)

Boundary lines indicated as approximately following City Limits shall be considered to follow the City Limits.

(8)

All water areas within the City limits are considered to be within a district and controlled by applicable district regulations. District boundary lines over water areas are located by noted and scaled dimensions, by relation to physical features, by coincidence with the City limit line, or by a straight line projection of the centerlines of public rights-of-ways as indicated on the district maps. Straight line district boundaries over water areas shall be assumed to continue as straight line until they intersect with each other or with the City limit line.

(9)

Boundary lines indicated as following shorelines shall be considered to follow such shorelines, and in the event of change in the shoreline, shall be considered as moving with the actual shoreline.

(10)

Where existing physical or natural features contradict those shown on the Zoning Map, or in case any other uncertainty exists not addressed in (1) through (9) above, the location of district boundaries shall be determined by the Planning Director.

(D)

Conditions of a More Restricted District Applied to Residential Uses. Whenever the specific district regulations pertaining to one district permit residential uses of a more restricted district, such residential uses shall be subject to the conditions as set forth in the regulations of the more restricted district unless otherwise specified.

(E)

Districts. Districts shall be designated as follows:

(F)

Repealed Districts. The following districts are repealed under previous ordinances or by the adoption of this Ordinance. The districts shall continue to exist on the Zoning Map; however, no new lands in the City shall be rezoned to these designations. The uses and standards applicable to these repealed districts are stated in Appendix C. The standards in effect when the property was zoned shall remain applicable to these repealed districts.

(Ord. 3068, § 1, November 27, 2006).

Each district section below, from Sections 22.4.3 to 22.4.30, contains a use table with a check mark (✓) indicating whether a use is permitted by right, permitted subject to supplemental use standards, or subject to specific use permit review. If a use is not expressly listed, such use or use classification shall be prohibited unless the Planning Director makes a similar use determination in accordance with Section 22.4.34.

Purpose. This is a residential district to provide for a density of 16 units per net acre. The principal use of land is for a variety of dwelling unit types including townhouses, low-rise multiple-family dwellings, garage apartments, and high-rise multiple-family dwellings. Commercial uses to serve the residents of the area are permitted on the lower floors of high-rise apartments, and recreation, religious and educational uses normally located to serve residential areas also are permitted to provide the basic elements of convenient, balanced and attractive living areas. It is the intent and policy of the City that this district be utilized only upon a strong showing of compatibility with the adjoining neighborhood and community and therefore zoning applications for this category should be predicated upon consistency with neighborhood plans for master plans adopted by the City Council and Planning Commission. The minimum lot area is 8,400 square feet with an additional 2,700 square feet required per dwelling unit in excess of three.

(Ord. 3068, § 1, November 27, 2006; Ord. 3248, § 3, January 11, 2010)

(A)

Purpose. This is a residential district in which the principal use of land is for mobile homes or manufactured homes located on lots which are owned by the mobile home owner. The district is intended to provide a single family environment. These areas are intended to be located and developed so that they are protected from encroachment of multiple-family and commercial land uses. They should also be situated so as to have a relationship with conventional single family housing without causing any disruption of traditional stability, order and attractiveness. Density and lot size standards are the same as for conventional dwellings to provide adequate lot size for public utilities or, if applicable, private water wells and septic tanks as well as light, air and open space and to emphasize the single family character of the district.

(A)

Purpose.

(1)

It is the purpose of the PUD, Planned Unit Development district to encourage unified design of housing, commercial, industrial or institutional areas and facilities, or combinations thereof, to provide for integrated developments having harmony of design and variety of function. This district is intended to provide for a greater flexibility in the design of buildings, yards, courts and circulation than would otherwise be possible through the strict application of the regulations in this Ordinance, and to produce:

(a)

A maximum choice in the types of environment and living units available to the public;

(b)

Open space and recreation areas;

(c)

A pattern of development which preserves trees, outstanding natural topography, and geologic features, and prevents soil erosion;

(d)

A creative approach to the use of land and related physical development;

(e)

An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets and thereby lower housing costs; and

(f)

An environment of stable character in harmony with surrounding development; and

(g)

A more desirable environment than would be possible through the strict application of the regulations in this Ordinance.

(2)

This district is designed to provide for small and large scale developments incorporating a single type or a variety of residential and related uses which are planned and developed as a unit. Such development may consist of individual lots or it may have common building sites. Common land shall be an essential and major element of the plan which is related to and affects the long-term value of the homes and other development. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) shall be a separate entity with a distinct character in harmony with surrounding development.

(B)

PUD Authorized. A PUD may be authorized, providing that all of the following provisions are met.

(1)

Location. A PUD shall be permitted in any district or any location in the city.

(2)

Design Characteristics. The proposed PUD shall be designed to provide for the unified development of the area in accordance with the spirit and purpose of the district in which the unit is located. The design may provide for modification of minimum yard and maximum height requirements on individual lots, but the use, density, intensity of use and coverage requirements for the district as applied to the total area of the PUD, and the minimum dimensions established for the design of courtyards shall not be reduced. Except if otherwise approved for the PUD Master Plan all uses, construction, and requirements in the PUD shall comply with this Title.

(a)

Number of Permitted Dwelling Units. The maximum number of dwelling units within a PUD shall be based on calculation of gross density. Gross density shall be established in the PUD master plan and shall be calculated by dividing the total land area to be developed for residential uses (exclusive of arterial streets) by the number of dwelling units.

(b)

Off-Street Parking. The off-street parking requirements, as established in Section 22.6.1, may be met by providing one or more permanent, common, off-street parking facilities for all uses within the development, provided that the parking facility contains the requisite number of spaces for each use and that the spaces provided for permanent residents shall be clearly designated and separated from spaces provided for employees, customers and service. The total spaces provided shall not be less than the sum of the individual requirements and the spaces required for each use, and shall be under the ownership of permanent control of the owners for the use for which the spaces are required.

(3)

Mixed Uses. Structures in PUDs containing both residential and nonresidential uses shall be designed, located, and oriented on the site so that such uses are directly accessible to residents of the PUD. For the purposes of this Section, "directly accessible" shall mean pedestrian or bicycle and automobile access by way of improved sidewalks or paths and streets that do not involve leaving the PUD or using a major thoroughfare. "Directly accessible" does not necessarily mean that nonresidential uses need to be located in a particular location but that the siting of such uses considers the accessibility of the residential component of the PUD to the nonresidential use.

(4)

Effect. Approval of a PUD shall create a special PUD District for the affected property. The provisions of the PUD Master Plan shall provide for the minimum requirements for all improvements and uses to be constructed within the affected PUD property. The entire PUD Master Plan shall be construed as a single inter-related approval.
