169.02 DISTRICT INTENTS

The following statements specify the intents of the zoning districts established to regulate areas of the City considered appropriate for non-residential uses:

  1. 1.
    Neighborhood Commercial District. The intent of the C-1 District is to accommodate low intensity commercial retail and service uses that serve the needs of nearby residents.
  2. 2.
    Community Commercial District. The intent of the C-2 District is to provide a broad range of commercial and retail uses and services which are intended to serve the community market area.
  3. 3.
    Regional Commercial District. The intent of the C-3 District is to accommodate medium and high intensity commercial uses with access and visibility to major streets and which are intended to serve the regional market area. This district should be located away from residential areas.
  4. 4.
    Office Employment District. The intent of the E-1 District is to provide a suitable environment for employment centers, offices, workplaces, and associated complementary uses. This district is meant to accommodate traditional employment uses, as well as reflect the changing workplace environment. Specific design standards for this district encourage high quality exterior design techniques which yield visual attractiveness.
  5. 5.
    General Employment District. The intent of the E-2 District is to provide a suitable environment for a wide variety of employment uses including retail, service, office, and warehousing with a strong focus on the physical attributes of a site. Specific design standards for this district promote flexibility of use within a structure while encouraging high quality exterior design techniques which yield visual attractiveness.
  6. 6.
    Light Industrial District. The intent of the M-1 District is to provide areas of the City suitable for light industrial uses such as assembly, fabrication, and processing of goods and materials, where industrial activities are conducted primarily within buildings and where the byproducts of industrial activities, such as noise, odors, smoke, and storage are generally confined within buildings and ordinarily do not have nuisance impacts on surrounding properties.
  7. 7.
    General Industrial District. The intent of the M-2 District is to provide areas of the City suitable for moderate to heavy industrial uses such as manufacturing, assembly, processing, warehousing, and distribution which generally require larger land areas, significant exterior operation or storage of equipment and materials, and/or where the byproducts of industrial activities, such as noise, odors, smoke, and storage, may have nuisance impacts on surrounding properties.

Effective on: 5/1/2023

The tables also include references to whether additional use specific standards are applicable to that use. The following definitions shall be referenced when using Tables 169.1 and 169.2:
      1. 1.
        Permitted Use - a “P” in a cell of the use table indicates that the land use is allowed by right in the zoning district.
      2. 2.
        Permitted with Standards Use – a “PS” in a cell of the use table indicates that the land use is allowed in the zoning district as long as certain use-specific standards as described in Chapters 176 and 177 are met.
      3. 3.
        Site Plan Review – an “SPR” in a cell of the use table indicates that the land use is allowed in the zoning district only upon approval of a Site Plan Review as described in CHAPTER 190 LAND USE PROCEDURES and in compliance with any use-specific standards identified in Chapters 176 and 177.

        Prohibited Use – a blank cell in the use table indicates that the land use is prohibited in that zoning district.

      In the event a proposed use is not listed in the use table, the Zoning Administrator shall make a determination if the use is consistent by type, intensity, physical characteristics, style, size, and purpose with any use listed in Tables 169.1 and 169.2.
      1. 1.
        If found to be consistent with a listed use, the proposed use shall be treated the same as the listed use.
      2. 2.
        If the proposed use is not found to be consistent with any listed use, the Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, or property owner may request an amendment to this Chapter to provide for the proposed use.
