"PUD" Planned Unit Development | ** | |
* | When a zone district from the current Zoning Order converts to a Planned District under the new UDO, dimensional regulations that existed in the Zoning Order will be applied to existing platted lots and site developments as the "planned" regulations for that development. The dimensional regulations would include setbacks, height, lot coverage and accessory structures. The regulations that applied at the time the development was approved will be the regulations that apply as the "planned district". However, when a zone district from the current Zoning Order converts to a Planned District according to the conversion table above, lands not platted or without existing site development at the time the UDO is adopted by the County will follow the Planned District regulations. | |
** | Because the "PUD" districts include a wide variety of land uses and are a separate zone district, it was not possible to do a straight conversion of all "PUD"s into one (1) specific zone district of the new UDO. "PUD" developments will continue to be zoned as "PUD"s after adoption of the UDO with all of the conditions that applied at the time the "PUD" was originally approved. If at such a time, an owner/applicant wishes to rezone or ask for an amendment of the "PUD", the land will be rezoned into the applicable Planned District of the UDO. If the owner/applicant fails to take action on a preliminary plat/final master development plan of the "PUD", the preliminary plat/final master development plan shall expire in accordance with Article XVI. | |
Accordingly, the following conditions should be present to support an "R-7" zone district for a site: | ||
1. | Location in a primary growth area. Primary growth areas are the locations designated by the preferred growth alternative of the Jefferson County Official Master Plan where any development meeting the stated site criteria in said plan is acceptable. | |
2. | Existing, centralized water and sewer facilities are available or such services can be extended to the site. | |
3. | The calculated density that can result on property zoned "R-7" shall not exceed one hundred (100) lots. | |
4. | The public road system serving the site has the capacity to handle the additional traffic that may be generated by development at the "R-7" density. | |

To determine the dimension allowed for the rear yard, each side of the existing or proposed structure shall be extended in a straight line to its point of intersection with the property line. One (1) additional measurement shall be included in the calculation and shall be determined by drawing a perpendicular line from the center of the structure to the property line. An average of these three (3) measurements shall equal a minimum of thirty (30) feet in "R-20", "R-10" and "R-7" and twenty (20) feet in "PR-1", "PR-2". However, the nearest point of the structure shall be at least ten (10) feet from the rear lot line. |
A principal business purpose exists if materials offered for sale or rental depicting or describing specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas generate twenty percent (20%) or more of the business's income or account for twenty percent (20%) or more of inventory or occupy twenty percent (20%) or more of gross total floor area. A commercial establishment may have other principal business purposes that do not involve the offering for sale or rental of material depicting or describing specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas and still be categorized as an adult bookstore or adult video store. Such other business purposes will not serve to exempt such commercial establishments from being categorized as an adult bookstore or adult video store so long as one (1) of its principal business purposes is the offering for sale or rental for consideration the specified materials that depict or describe specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas. |
A principal business purpose exists if the services offered are intended to generate business income. |
