Section 400.135 Permitted And Conditional Uses By District.
[Ord. No. 437, 9-9-2025]
B.
The land uses permitted by right or subject to the conditional use regulations of Article VI of this Code within each district as set forth in Article II, Sections 400.060 through 400.130 above are listed in the Jonesburg Zoning District Land Use Table that follows in this Section. The permitted and conditional uses are listed as follows:
P | = | Permitted Use |
P* | = | |
C | = | Conditional Use |
C* | = | Use is conditional and subject to additional stipulations and requirements related to the specific use. See conditional use regulations of Article VI for details and reference to requirements of other Chapters of this Code. |
C.
The City of Jonesburg reserves full authority to deny any use not listed in this Section as permitted or conditional and reserves full authority to deny any request for a conditional use.
D.
If a particular land use is being requested by a property owner for development within a particular district and that use is not listed in the Table, then the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is intended to be the determining source for identifying the type of use by referring to the sub-sector data from the NAICS listing to make such determination. The NAICS was jointly developed by the United States Office of Management and Budget through its Economic Classification Policy Committee and The Instituto Nacional de Estadisticay Geografia of Mexico and Statistics Canada.
This procedure is provided to establish a recognized system of identification of land uses by both general and specific type, and to provide a way in which to determine the category or use type that a particular land use is within, the City of Jonesburg.
The most recent version of the NAICS is from 2022. However, as the nature of land uses change, this system is updated from time to time and therefore subject to change. The most recent published version of the NAICS will be the determining source for the purposes of this Section of the Zoning Code. However, the ultimate determination of the permission of a use by right or by conditional use permit will ultimately be controlled by the provisions of this Chapter and other related Chapters of the Municipal Code that may apply.
E.
All development and permitted or conditional uses within Planned Development Districts ("PD-R," "PD-MX") is related to permitted or conditional uses in the table which follows and therefore is not shown. All development and permitted or conditional uses is subject to site plan review in accordance with the provisions of Article II, Section 400.137 of this Chapter. Conditional uses require review in accordance with the provisions of Article III, Section 400.183 of this Chapter.

Section 400.137 "PD" Planned Development Districts.
[Ord. No. 437, 9-9-2025]
A.
Intent And Purpose. The purpose of the Planned Development Districts is to provide a means of achieving greater flexibility in development of land in a manner not always possible in conventional zoning districts; to encourage a more imaginative and innovative design of land development; and to promote a more desirable community environment.
The Board of Aldermen, upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, may, by an ordinance adopted in the same manner as a rezoning is approved, authorize a Planned Development District when the proposed development or use of a specific tract of land or area warrants greater flexibility, control and density than is afforded under the general regulations of standard zoning districts or where effective redevelopment of a property or area entails a mix of uses. These planned development regulations are not intended to allow excessive densities, or the development of incompatible land uses, either within the development, or as the development relates to the general neighborhood. The Board of Aldermen may, upon proper application, approve a planned development to facilitate the use of flexible techniques of land development and site design, by providing relief from conventional zoning standards to achieve one (1) or more of the following objectives:
1.
Site planning that better adapts to site conditions and its relation to surrounding properties that would not otherwise be possible or would be inhibited under the district regulations applicable to the property.
2.
Functional and beneficial uses of open space areas.
3.
Preservation of natural features of a development site.
4.
Creation of a safe and desirable living environment for residential areas characterized by a unified building and site development program.
5.
Promotes the use of high-quality building materials for all structures and use types, employs architectural design compatible with the surrounding area, and avoids the use of design or color elements that are garish.
6.
Providing for housing types that are not presently found in the City and multi-family development as a component of development or redevelopment to provide a mixed-use environment in the City's commercial districts.
7.
Rational and economical in relation to public utilities and services.
8.
Efficient and effective traffic circulation, both within and adjacent to the development site.
B.
Relationship Of Planned Development Districts To Zoning Map.
1.
A Mapped District. The "PD" designation is not intended to be attached to existing zoning districts as an overlay. The "PD" designation, as detailed in this Section, is a separate use district and may be attached to a parcel of land through the process of rezoning and Zoning Map amendment.
2.
Plan Approval Required. It is the intent of this Chapter that no development or redevelopment of the property encompassed by the "PD" designation take place until an acceptable development plan has been reviewed and approved in conformance with the requirements of this Section, the provisions of Article VII, Section 400.280 of this Chapter, and, if applicable, Chapter 410, Subdivision Regulations, of the Municipal Code.
C.
Coordination With Chapter 410, Subdivisions Regulations, Of The Municipal Code.
1.
When a planned development involves any subdivision activity, the subdivision review and approval procedure requirements contained in Chapter 410 of the Municipal Code shall be carried out simultaneously with the review of a planned development under this Section of this Chapter. As applicable, reference is made to requirements in Chapter 410 of the Municipal Code within this Section. With regard to these references, said title may contain the term "plat," which under the "PD" District requirements is intended to be synonymous with "plan" as appropriate.
D.
Types Of Planned Developments. An area approved for the "PD" designation shall be assigned one (1) of the following district classifications which shall be considered a separate zoning district and subject to the specific restrictions and limitations outlined in this Section and is in keeping with the objectives as stated in 400.137(A) above.
1.
Planned Development — Residential ("PD-R"). Planned developments involving residential uses of any type.
2.
Planned Development — Mixed-Use ("PD-MXD"). Planned developments involving residential uses and commercial uses within the same development either in separate buildings or within the same building.
F.
Minimum Planned Development Site Size. The minimum site size for any of the Planned Development Districts shall be as follows:
"PD" District | Minimum Site Size in Acres |
|---|---|
"PD-R" | 2.5 |
"PD-MXD" | 2.5 |
These minimum site sizes may be waived by the Board of Aldermen upon report by the Planning and Zoning Commission; if it is determined that the use proposed is desirable or necessary in relationship to the surrounding neighborhood; or, if the Board of Aldermen should determine such waiver to be in the public interest. |
G.
Density And Dimensional Regulations And Performance Standards.
1.
General Standards. The approval of the site plan for such projects may provide for exceptions from the regulations associated with traditional zoning districts as may be necessary or desirable to achieve the objectives of the proposed planned development. No planned development shall be allowed which would result in:
a.
Inadequate or unsafe vehicular access to the development.
b.
Peak-hour traffic volumes exceeding the capacity of the adjoining or nearby streets. Capacity shall be based on a street providing "level of service D" as defined in the latest publication of Transportation and Traffic Engineers Handbook, Institute of Transportation Engineers.
c.
An undue burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, fire and police protection and other public facilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned development.
d.
A failure to comply with the standards contained in this Title or other provisions of the Municipal Code.
e.
Other detrimental impacts on the surrounding area, including, but not limited to, visual pollution.
In addition to the above requirements, all planned developments shall be subject to the review criteria established in Section 400.183 of this Chapter. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to clearly establish that the above requirements are met.
2.
Other Codes. All requirements of other Codes and ordinances of the City (e.g., Building Code) shall be applicable. The City may require the developer to provide evidence from third-party professionals to ensure that site and building plans comply with reasonable Building and Fire Code standards.
3.
Planned Development — Residential ("PD-R").
a.
Design And Density Requirements.
(1)
The density of any residential development shall be determined based on the proposed site plan and accompanying documents submitted by the developer but will ultimately be determined via the site plan review process and recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and adoption of an ordinance by the Board of Aldermen that establishes the "PD-R" zoning designation and the project site plan and any accompanying conditions.
(2)
The side or rear yard requirements for the underlying existing residential district is required for any side of the development that abuts another residential district. For example, a planned residential development proposed within any "R" Residential District may be approved for density development based on the site plan review process, but the side or rear yard requirements of any adjacent "R" District shall apply to the portion or edge(s) of the development abutting that district.
b.
Development Phasing. If the sequence of construction of various portions of the development is to occur in stages, then any proposed open space and/or recreational facilities shall be developed, or legally provided for on a final plat, in reasonable proportion to the number of dwelling units intended to be developed during any given stage of construction as approved on a final plat by the Board of Aldermen. Furthermore, at no time during the construction of the project shall the number of constructed dwelling units per acre of developed land exceed the overall density per net acre established by the approved "PD-R" District.
c.
Non-Residential Uses In "PD-R" Developments. Non-residential uses are limited to those that are part of the approved development site plan and are limited to recreational uses, community-use/clubhouse buildings for the use of development residents, or buildings used to store development maintenance equipment or a management office. Such non-residential uses shall be subject to all requirements for lot area, width, height, yards, and setbacks prescribed in the district in which the proposed "PD-R" development is located.
4.
Planned Development — Mixed-Use ("PD-MXD"). The "PD-MXD" regulations are intended to provide for planned development that combines commercial, residential, and/or office uses within a parcel or an area.
a.
Commercial uses are those as permitted in the "C" District as specified in Section 400.135 of this Chapter.
b.
A multi-family development may consist of one (1) structure or multiple structures used for residential purposes and are encouraged but not required to provide some portion of the ground floor area dedicated to retail, service, or office businesses.
c.
No residential unit as part of a "PD-MXD" master development plan, whether leased to a tenant or owned in cooperative or condominium form shall be used for short-term rental purposes. Buildings developed for tenant occupancy shall require leases of not less than six (6) months.
d.
Density. Shall be established in accord with the site plan approval process as set forth in Section 400.183 of this Chapter.
e.
Multi-family residential (rental or condominium) density shall not exceed thirty (30) dwelling units per acre except upon recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval of the Board of Aldermen as part of the site plan review and approval process.
(1)
Where abutting an existing residential district, the side or rear yard requirements shall be not less than those applicable to those in the abutting existing residential district.
(2)
For proposed developments, building heights shall not be greater than five (5) stories but in no event shall be greater than the ability of local fire protection entities to service. Heights shall be measured from the first floor of the building for tenant occupancy at the adjacent grade (on sloping sites, a parking garage under the first floor of the building would not count in determining building height).
(3)
Parking ratios shall not be less than one and one-half (1.5) spaces per unit [including required handicapped spaces, an allocation of visitor spaces equal to one (1) space for every six (6) units, one (1) space for loading/move-in/move-out, and one (1) space designated and suitable for trash containers that is to be enclosed].
H.
Site Plan Review. All Planned Development projects are subject to site plan review and approval as required under the provisions of Section 400.183 of this Chapter.
I.
Effect Of Approval Of Master Development Plan And Period Of Validity.
1.
All conditions imposed as a part of any planned development shall run with the land and shall not lapse or be waived because of a subsequent change in ownership of any or all said area.
2.
Approval of the site plan shall be valid for a period of two (2) years form the date of Board of Aldermen approval. If the development approved by the site development plan has not been initiated for all or a geographic portion of the plan designated as a phase of the development, then a resubmission of the master development plan shall be required if the applicant intends to construct the development as originally approved. The Board of Aldermen, upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, may grant up to a one (1) year extension, from the date that the period of validity expired. The Board of Aldermen may reject such resubmission of the same development plan considering new facts and circumstances relating to the site plan.
3.
In no case shall a building permit be issued prior to site plan approval.
4.
At such time the period of validity has expired, the Planning and Zoning Commission resolution approving the master development plan shall become null and void. The Board of Aldermen may initiate proceedings to rezone the property to its original or other appropriate zoning district, in accordance with the procedures and requirements of Section 400.280 of this Chapter.
J.
Recording Of Site Plan. After the final site plan (and subdivision plat, if applicable), and other associated documents have been approved by the Board of Aldermen, the applicant shall record the final site plan with Montgomery County.
K.
Amendments To The Site Plan.
1.
Minor Changes. Minor changes in the location, siting and height of buildings and structures may be authorized by the Zoning Enforcement Officer if required by engineering or other circumstances not foreseen at the time the final plan was approved.
2.
No change authorized by this Section shall cause any of the following:
a.
A change in the use or character of the development;
b.
An increase in building or site coverage;
c.
An increase in the intensity of use (e.g., number of dwelling units);
d.
An increase in vehicular traffic generation or significant changes in traffic access and circulation;
e.
A reduction in approved open space or required buffer areas; or
f.
A change in the record plat of any subdivision involved with the planned development.
3.
Plan Amendments. All proposed changes in use, or rearrangement of lots, blocks and building tracts, changes in the provision of common open spaces, and changes which would cause any of the situations listed under Subsection (K)(2), above, shall require the applicant to file a revised site plan and be subject to the requirements of this Section and the procedure for site plan review in accord with the procedures set forth in Section 400.137 of this Chapter as if it were an entirely new application.
