Itasca City Zoning Code

§ 16.04

ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVALS.

   1.   General.
      a.   The Director of Community Development may administratively approve the uses listed in this Section 16.04. Nevertheless, all such uses shall comply with Section 16.03 of this Section 16.00 and all other applicable ordinances.
      b.   Each applicant for administrative approval shall apply to the Director of Community Development, providing the information set forth in Sections 16.06.2 and 16.06.3 of this Section 16.00.
      c.   The Community Development Department shall respond to each such application within thirty (30) days after receiving it, provided that the application contains all information necessary for processing, by either approving, approving with conditions, denying the application, advising that a special use permit is required, or requesting additional information. If the Community Development Department fails to respond to the applicant within said thirty (30) days, or such additional time as is reasonably necessary to obtain the additional information from the applicant and review it, then the application shall be deemed to be denied.
      d.   If an administrative approval is denied, the applicant may appeal said denial in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance concerning appeals of administrative decisions.
      e.   If, upon receipt of an application for administrative approval that otherwise meets the standards contained herein, the Director of Community Development determines in writing that the public interest would be furthered by requiring a Special Use Permit to construct the Service Facility in question, the Director of Community Development may refer such application for consideration pursuant to the procedures and requirements for a Special Use Permit under Section 16.06.
      f.   Except as provided in Section 16.04.2.b.3 the landscaping requirements of Section 16.06.3 of this Section shall apply to Service Facilities that have received administrative approval.
   2.   Specific administratively approved uses. The following uses shall be approved by the Community Development Department after conducting an administrative review unless the Director of Community Development concludes that the public interest would be furthered by requiring a special use permit as provided in Section 16.04.1.e. of this Section 16.00.
      a.   Service Facilities installed within the rear yard in any zoning district, provided that the Service Facility is set back three feet (3') from the side and five feet (5') from the rear property lines, and further provided:
         (1)   A Service Facility shall not be located within a two hundred and fifty feet (250') radius from any existing or approved Service Facility.
         (2)   The separation requirement of Section 16.04.2.a.(1) may be waived by the Director of Community Development for the M-1 Manufacturing District, provided that the applicant establishes:
            (a)   No other site or current technology could be used to provide intended services to the residents of the Village; and,
            (b)   A denial of a permit for the proposed site would create a gap in providing intended services to the residents of the Village.
         If the foregoing factors are not satisfied, the Director of Community Development shall inform the applicant that it may request a Special Use Permit in conformance with Section 16.06 of this Article.
      b.   Service Facilities installed within the side yard in any nonresidential district, and in any residential zoning lot that maintains a nonresidential principal use and/or structure (e.g., school, park, or church), and further provided:
         (1)   The Service Facility is set back three feet (3') from the side property line;
         (2)   A Service Facility shall not be located within two hundred and fifty feet (250') radius of any existing or approved Service Facility; and,
         (3)   A Service Facility shall be landscaped with an evergreen and/or deciduous hedge equal in height at the time of planting to the Service Facility, and installed and maintained in accordance with Section 4.19 of this Ordinance.
