Kasson City Zoning Code

BASE DISTRICTS

§ 154.110 PURPOSE STATEMENTS.

   (A)   D-H Development Holding District. The purpose of the D-H Development Holding District is to identify land in the outlying parts of the city that have not yet been developed with city services or not yet subdivided in compliance with the future land use map of the comprehensive plan. This district is intended to allow for existing uses, including uses brought in through annexation, to continue, but new uses will require a rezoning to another district in compliance with the comprehensive plan.
   (B)   R-1 Single-Family Residential District. The purpose of the R-1 Single-Family Residential District is to provide for low to moderate density dwellings and directly related, complementary uses.
   (C)   R-1A Traditional Core Residential District. The purpose of the R-1A Traditional Core Residential District is to provide for low to moderate density dwellings and directly related, complementary uses. This district is characterized by more variation in lot sizes than found in other residential districts in the city.
   (D)   R-2 Mixed Residential District. The purpose of the R-2 Mixed Residential District is to provide for low to medium density dwellings and directly related, complementary uses.
   (E)   R-3 Multi-Family Residential District. The purpose of the R-3 Multi-Family Residential District is to provide for medium to high density residential uses and directly related, complementary uses.
   (F)   R-C Residential-Commercial Mixed Use District. The purpose of the R-C Residential-Commercial Mixed Use District is to provide for a district which allows both residential and commercial uses and acts as a transition district between more intense commercial zoning districts and residential zoning districts. Commercial uses are intended to be a lower intensity than nearby commercial zoning districts.
   (G)   C-1 Central Business District. The purpose of the C-1 Central Business District is to provide for high density development for commercial and service activities, with activity focused on Main Street, gaining economic advantage from a concentration of complementary uses and drawing from and serving customers from the community and surrounding area.
   (H)   C-2 General Commercial District. The purpose of the C-2 General Commercial District is to provide for commercial and service activities oriented towards and concentrated along Highway 57, drawing from and serving customers from the community and surrounding area.
   (I)   C-3 Highway Commercial District. The purpose of the C-3 Highway Commercial District is to provide for medium to high intensity retail or service activities which provide goods and services to the community as well as regional motor vehicle traffic. The districts should be located in areas well served by arterial roadways.
   (J)   I-1 Business Park / Light Industrial District. The purpose of the I-1 District is provide locations for small and large scale business park uses as well as light industrial and light manufacturing uses which are compatible and may benefit from co-location with other similar uses.
   (K)   I-2 Manufacturing / Heavy Industrial District. The purpose of the I-2 Manufacturing/Heavy Industrial District is to provide for the development of manufacturing and industrial uses which may not be appropriate in other locations due to noise, dust, vibration, traffic, outdoor storage or other impacts which may not be compatible with other uses.
(Ord. 879, passed 10-28-2020)

§ 154.111 USES.

   (A)   Permitted uses (P). Uses listed in § 154.066 and § 154.067 with a “P” symbol are permitted by-right in the district in which they are listed.
   (B)   Uses permitted with standards (PS). Uses listed in § 154.066 and § 154.067 with a “PS” symbol are permitted provided compliance with the use-specific standards and requirements in §§ 154.175 through 154.178, §§ 154.190 through 154.194, §§ 154.205 through 154.208, §§ 154.220 through 154.222, § 154.235, § 154.245 and §§ 154.255 through 154.257.
   (C)   Uses permitted by conditional use permit (CUP). Uses listed in § 154.066 and § 154.067 with a “CUP” symbol require a conditional use permit; refer to § 154.067 for CUP requirements and §§ 154.175 to 154.178 for use specific standards.
   (D)   Uses not provided for within zoning districts. For those uses not specifically noted, the Zoning Administrator shall make a determination as to whether the proposed use is included in the definition of a listed use or is so consistent with the size, scale, operating characteristics and external impacts of a listed use that it should be treated as the same use.
      (1)   Where a question arises in the interpretation of the Zoning Administrator, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make a recommendation to the City Council, which shall make the final determination.
      (2)   The city shall maintain a record of all uses the City Council determines as allowed as being substantially similar to named uses and will work to incorporate those uses into either the list or definition of uses.
      (3)   If it is determined that a proposed use is not substantially similar to an allowed use, the applicant may seek an amendment to the text of the zoning code to name the use as an allowed use within the zoning district.
