2.1.1

INTENT

It is the intent of this article to govern the use of property in order to implement the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan; to provide for appropriate densities and intensities of use; to encourage a diverse mix of uses that creates a compact, walkable, energy-efficient, transit-supportive urban form; and to prevent or mitigate the negative impacts of incompatible uses.

2.1.2

APPLICABILITY

Except as otherwise provided herein, no building, structure, or land located within the city shall hereafter be used or occupied, except in conformity with the zoning district classification of the property as depicted on the Official Zoning Map. Certain principal and accessory uses having unique operating characteristics or impacts are further defined and regulated in Article 5 (Standards for Specific Uses). Use limitations within the Green Swamp Area of Critical State Concern are set forth in Section 6.3.

(Ord. No. 5455, 07-21-14)

2.2.1

ZONING DISTRICTS ENUMERATED

The City of Lakeland is divided into the following zoning districts for the purpose of regulating the use of property:

2.2.2

GROUPS OF RELATED ZONING DISTRICTS

2.2.2.1

Residential Districts

Where the phrases "all residential districts," "residential districts," "zoned residentially," "residentially zoned," or phraseology of similar intent are used in this code, the phrases shall be construed to include the following districts:

2.2.2.2

Commercial Districts

Where the phrases "commercial districts," "zoned commercial or commercially," "commercially zoned," or phraseology of similar intent are used in this code, the phrases shall be construed to include the following districts:

2.2.2.3

Industrial Districts

Where the phrases "industrial districts," "industrially zoned," "zoned industrial," "industrial zoning," or phraseology of similar intent are used in this code, the phrases shall be construed to include the following districts:

2.2.2.4

Other Districts

Districts not included in the listings of residential, commercial or industrial districts above, shall not be construed to fall within any of the three classifications unless regulations for such unclassified districts specifically apply requirements as for classified districts.

2.2.3

INTENT OF ZONING DISTRICTS

2.2.3.1

Single-Family Districts (RA)

a.

It is the intent of the single-family districts to provide for single-family detached residential development at a variety of densities and lot sizes that are consistent with the existing and desirable future pattern of development in the city. Provision is made for a variety of residential densities in order to accommodate different residential preferences.

b.

The use restrictions protect single-family detached residential development from the encroachment of incompatible land uses. At the same time, provision is made for a limited number of appropriate non-residential uses which may be established for the convenience of residents while still preserving the overall residential character of the districts.

2.2.3.2

Two-Family District (RB)

a.

It is the intent of the two-family district to provide for two-family residential development at intermediate densities which are consistent with the existing and desirable future pattern of development in the city.

b.

The use restrictions protect two-family residential development from the encroachment of incompatible land uses. At the same time, provision is made for a limited number of appropriate non-residential uses which may be established for the convenience of residents while still preserving the overall residential character of the districts.

2.2.3.3

Multi-Family Districts (MF)

a.

General

1.

It is the intent of the multi-family districts to provide for single-family attached and multi-family residential development at a variety of densities which are consistent with the existing and desirable future pattern of development in the city. Provision is made for a variety of residential densities in order to accommodate different residential preferences.

2.

The use restrictions protect multi-family residential development from the encroachment of incompatible land uses. At the same time, provision is made for a limited number of appropriate non-residential uses which may be established for the convenience of residents while still preserving the overall residential character of the districts.

2.2.3.4

Mobile Home District (MH)

a.

It is the intent of the mobile home district to provide separate areas for mobile home development. Separate areas are provided because mobile homes are constructed to different design standards than conventional dwelling units and the mixture of the two has a destabilizing effect on both housing types. Separate areas for mobile home development are also needed to allow for the provision of adequate emergency shelter for mobile home residents in accordance with adopted policy of the Central Florida Regional Planning Council.

b.

Uses permitted by right include mobile home parks and mobile home subdivisions. Mobile home parks are developments in which individual mobile home pads are rented, leased or held in condominium ownership by occupants. Mobile home subdivisions are developments in which mobile home lots are individually owned as in conventional single-family subdivisions.

c.

Recreational vehicle parks are permitted as conditional uses. It is the intent of this code that a significant number of recreational vehicle spaces not be included in mobile home parks. Recreational vehicle facilities are prohibited in mobile home subdivisions.

2.2.3.5

Office Districts

a.

General

1.

It is the intent of the office districts to provide for office developments at a variety of sizes and intensities that are consistent with the existing and desirable future pattern of development in the city.

2.

The use restrictions provide primarily for office development. At the same time, provision is made for a limited number of appropriate retail uses which support major office complexes.

b.

Low Impact Office District (O-1)

The intent of the O-1 District is to permit those office uses which meet the needs of local resident and business populations and which have a low impact and are the most compatible with adjacent residential development. Because most of the permitted uses typically generate low traffic volumes per unit of floor area, this district is appropriate for locations along thoroughfares where conflicts between site access and traffic-carrying functions should be kept to a minimum.

c.

Limited Impact Office District (O-2)

The intent of the O-2 District is to permit those office uses which meet the needs of local resident and business populations and which have a limited impact but are still compatible with adjacent residential development. Because most of the permitted uses typically generate low traffic volumes per unit of floor area, this district is appropriate for locations along thoroughfares where conflicts between site access and traffic-carrying functions should be kept to a minimum.

d.

Moderate Impact Office District (O-3)

The intent of the O-3 District is to permit those office uses which meet regional needs for office headquarters and other large-scale office space. The uses permitted generate relatively low traffic volumes per unit of floor area; however, they are developed at a scale which makes them substantial traffic generators. This district is most appropriate for sites which: 1) are located along thoroughfares which have rights-of-way sufficiently wide to permit separate turning and acceleration/deceleration lanes; and 2) are separated from single-family residential development by natural features or other less intensive land uses.

2.2.3.6

Commercial Districts

a.

General

1.

It is the intent of the commercial districts to provide for office and retail developments at a variety of sizes and intensities that are consistent with the existing and desirable future pattern of development in the city. It is the intent of this land development code that most new commercial developments occur either in the Downtown or Munn Park Commercial Districts or in shopping centers of various sizes.

2.

The use restrictions provide primarily for office and retail development. However, permitted uses do not include heavy commercial developments which have environmental characteristics that make them more appropriate for industrial areas.

b.

Pedestrian Commercial District (C-1)

The intent of the C-1 District is to provide for office uses and a limited range of retail uses primarily oriented toward the pedestrian. Permitted uses do not include some sales and service uses which have characteristics that make them more appropriate for more intense areas.

c.

Highway Commercial District (C-2)

The intent of the C-2 District is to provide for a broad range of office and retail uses primarily oriented toward the motoring public and development on relatively small individual lots with exposure to high traffic volumes. The C-2 Highway Commercial District is intended for locations along arterial and collector streets. The district is not intended for shopping centers or large retail establishments other than as outparcels.

d.

Neighborhood Center Commercial District (C-3)

The intent of the C-3 District is to provide primarily for convenience commercial uses which serve the everyday shopping needs of the surrounding population and which are appropriate for small shopping centers that are under unified ownership or management. The uses are relatively high traffic generators and thus have significant impact on surrounding uses and on the traffic-carrying capacity of access thoroughfares. Certain complementary office, financial and retail uses are permitted in order to provide flexibility in the use of property zoned in this district. The C-3 District is intended for sites which are located at the intersection of two collector streets or at the intersection of a collector street and an arterial street. Mapping of the C-3 District in any one location is intended to extend over an area of no more than two acres.

e.

Community Center Commercial District (C-4)

The intent of the C-4 District is to provide for a broad range of office and retail uses serving a community-wide population and which are appropriate for moderate size shopping centers that are under unified ownership or management. This district is most appropriate for sites which are located along thoroughfares which have rights-of-way sufficiently wide to permit separate turning and acceleration/deceleration lanes. The C-4 District is intended for sites which are located at the intersection of a collector street and an arterial street, or at the intersection of two arterial streets.

f.

Regional Center Commercial District (C-5)

The intent of the C-5 District is to provide for a broad range of office and retail uses serving a region-wide population and which are appropriate for large shopping centers that are under unified ownership or management. This district is most appropriate for sites which are separated from single-family residential development by natural features or other less intensive land uses. The C-5 District is intended for sites which are located at the intersection of two arterial streets.

g.

Downtown Commercial District (C-6)

The intent of the C-6 District is to provide for a broad range of office, retail and residential uses appropriate for a central city business district, pursuant to and compatible with adopted plans for Downtown Lakeland. Such plans guide the development of a traditional downtown environment and emphasize the pedestrian over the automobile within the core of the downtown. The C-6 District is primarily intended for mapping in the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority District. Development within the C-6 district is subject to design review.

h.

Munn Park Historic District (C-7)

The intent of the C-7 District is to permit use and development of properties in ways which are: 1) consistent with the economic role that the Munn Park area can play in the continuing revitalization of Lakeland's downtown, and 2) consistent with the overall historic preservation program of the city. Use regulations permit a broad range of office, commercial and residential activities, but are somewhat more restrictive than the use regulations applicable to the C-6 Downtown Commercial District. In particular, vehicle-intensive uses are prohibited or restricted. Banks, very high turnover restaurants, parking garages and parking lots are subject to special use review, primarily to control vehicular impacts on pedestrian circulation. Motor vehicle sales and service uses are not permitted. The C-7 District is primarily intended for mapping in the Munn Park Historic District. Development within the C-7 district is subject to design review.

2.2.3.7

Industrial Districts

a.

General

1.

It is the intent of the industrial districts to provide for industrial developments at a variety of sizes and intensities that are consistent with the existing and desirable future pattern of development in the city.

2.

The use restrictions provide primarily for heavy commercial and industrial development.

b.

Light Industrial - Limited Commercial District (I-1)

The intent of the I-1 District is to permit the establishment of business park uses and a limited range of industrial uses along with retail and service commercial uses that support business park and industrial employment centers, subject to limitations established in the Comprehensive Plan. The industrial uses permitted include those which usually have the most limited external impacts. Such uses do not create an appreciable nuisance or hazard. They are generally compatible with non-industrial uses, but they are more tolerable adjacent to non-industrial uses than are more intensive industrial uses.

c.

Medium Industrial District (I-2)

The intent of the I-2 District is to permit the establishment of a broad range of business park, industrial and wholesale uses. Any retail shall be limited and subordinate to the principal use. The uses permitted include those which usually have relatively moderate external impacts. Such uses do not create an appreciable nuisance or hazard. The I-2 District also provides for some industrial uses which typically have more external impacts, subject to conditional use review.

d.

Heavy Industrial District (I-3)

The intent of the I-3 District is to permit the establishment of industrial and wholesale uses which often have significant external impacts because of their appearance and/or their potential for generating noise, vibration, odor, glare, fire, explosion, or air or water quality threats. Uses permitted in the I-3 District can create an appreciable nuisance or hazard. In addition to these uses, the I-3 district also permits the same light industrial uses and non-industrial uses permitted in the I-2 District.

2.2.3.8

Limited Development District (LD)

a.

It is the intent of the limited development district to limit development in accordance with the future land use designation of the area. The LD district provides for rural, agricultural, conservation and recreation land uses where appropriate and where consistent with the existing and desirable future pattern of development. The LD district is intended for mapping in areas designated on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan as follows.

b.

In areas designated P (Preservation), the LD district may be utilized to prohibit most development. Such areas may have significant wetlands, floodplains, wildlife habitat, poor soils or other natural characteristics that make them inherently unsuitable for development.

c.

In areas designated C (Conservation), the LD district may be utilized to limit most types of development. Such areas may have natural or environmental constraints that can only support low intensity uses.

d.

In areas designated R (Recreation), the LD district may be utilized to limit development to passive and active recreation facilities and uses that are compatible therewith. Such areas may be identified for use as parks, open space and lakeshore parkways.

e.

In all other Future Land Use designations, the LD district may be utilized to conserve rural, agricultural and undeveloped land where development at suburban or urban intensities is not desirable or it may be utilized as a holding zone where development at suburban or urban intensities is not presently feasible due to an inability to provide urban services or for other reasons. If and when more intense development is both desirable and feasible in such areas, rezoning shall be required.

f.

The LD District is intended for land which is mapped Preservation Area or Rural Conservation by Polk County prior to annexation by the city.

2.2.4

RELATIONSHIP OF ZONING DISTRICTS TO FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATIONS

a.

In accordance with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, zoning districts may be applied to the Official Zoning Map only within specific Future Land Use Map designations in accordance with Table 2.2-1. Indication that a zoning district may be applied within a particular future land use designation does not signify an entitlement to that zoning. The application of zoning is limited by the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and subject to the technical and procedural requirements set forth in Article 12 (Administration and Enforcement).

b.

Zoning districts applicable within Special Public Interest (SPI) Districts or Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning districts shall be in accordance with this section unless otherwise specified in the ordinance establishing the SPI District or PUD.

Uses permitted in the LD (Limited Development) District shall be permitted in accordance with Table 2.3-3 (Permitted and Accessory Uses in LD). The specific uses or classes of uses are as listed and defined in the Master Use List. Certain principal and accessory uses are further defined and regulated in Article 5 (Standards for Specific Uses). Use limitations within the Green Swamp Area of Critical State Concern are set forth in Section 6.3.

b.

The use of property located within Planned Unit Development zoning districts shall be in accordance with this section unless otherwise specified in the ordinance establishing the PUD.

c.

The use of property located within SPI Districts shall be in accordance with this section unless otherwise specified in the ordinance establishing the SPI District. To the extent specified in the ordinance, the use regulations may supersede or modify the use regulations of the underlying zoning district.

d.

Determinations regarding the proper classification of uses not specifically listed herein shall be made by the Director of Community Development based on the classification or category which is most similar in terms of its land use impacts.

(Ord. No. 5455, § 2, 07-21-14)

PROHIBITED USES

Any use not listed as permitted as a principal use in Table 2.3-1 or Table 2.3-3 or as an accessory use in Table 2.3-2 or Table 2.3-3 shall be prohibited unless it is determined by the Director of Community Development to be essentially the same as a use permitted within the same district.

(Ord. No. 5721, 06-18-18)

2.4.1

INTENT

It is the intent of this section to set forth standards for conditional uses. These standards are intended to provide an opportunity to use property for activities which, under usual circumstances, could be incompatible with or detrimental to adjacent existing or permitted land uses and cannot normally be permitted within the same district, but which can be permitted under circumstances particular to the proposed location and subject to conditions which provide protection to adjacent land uses and the public welfare.

2.4.2

INTERPRETATION OF CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS

Uses set forth in this Code as conditional uses shall be deemed to be adverse to the public interest and welfare except in specific instances when the City Commission finds that all land development code standards for approval of such uses will be met. In those instances when the City Commission finds that all land development code standards for approval of a particular conditional use at a specific location have been met, and the public welfare is adequately protected, then the City Commission shall approve the use. The application procedures for conditional uses are set forth in Section 12.5.

(Ord. No. 5455, 07-21-14)

2.4.3

GENERAL CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS

Prior to approving any conditional use, the City Commission shall find, based on competent and substantial evidence, that the use exactly as proposed at the location where proposed, will be in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with existing uses and uses most likely to occur in the immediate area, and will provide for the adequate protection of the public welfare. The proposed use shall not result in premature development nor shall it substantially reduce the public benefit that would result from use of the same site by a use permitted by right.

2.4.4

SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR ALL CONDITIONAL USES

a.

Prior to approving any conditional use, the City Commission shall find, based on competent and substantial evidence, that the proposed use will not reduce the level of service or result in a significantly greater amount of through traffic on local streets than would result from development of a use permitted by right or otherwise be detrimental to the public welfare. The proposed use will be appropriately located with respect to the thoroughfare system and in relation to water lines, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, surface drainage systems and other utility systems that it will result in neither extension nor enlargement nor any other alteration of such systems in a manner resulting in higher net public cost or earlier incursion of public cost than would result from development of a use permitted by right.

b.

The proposed use will not place a demand on municipal police or fire protection services beyond the capacity of those services, except that the proposed use may place a demand on municipal police or fire protection services that does not exceed the demand likely to result from a development permitted by right.

2.4.5

STANDARDS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL CONDITIONAL USES IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS

a.

Prior to approving any non-residential conditional use in any residential district and prior to approving any more intensive residential conditional use in a less intensive residential district, the City Commission shall find, based on competent and substantial evidence, that the size and location of the conditional use, along with the nature and intensity of the operations involved, will be compatible with the predominantly residential character of the district and not hazardous or inconvenient to surrounding residents or injurious to the long range development of the district for the residential purposes.

b.

The location of the conditional use will not result in a small existing or planned residential area being isolated from other residential areas by being completely or largely surrounded by arterial streets and non-residential land uses.

c.

The design of buildings for non-residential conditional uses in residential districts shall be compatible with that of residential structures in the same general area or neighborhood. Such a finding shall be based on a consideration of the building mass, height, materials, window arrangement, yards, landscaping and any other pertinent considerations.

d.

The maximum height of broadcast and transmission towers in residential districts shall be one foot in height for each one foot in setback from any lot line. Broadcast and transmission towers are not personal wireless service facilities which are regulated in accordance with Section 5.18.

(Ord. No. 5455, 07-21-14)

2.4.6

CONDITIONS AND SAFEGUARDS

Prior to granting approval for a use subject to special conditions, the City Commission may impose any additional conditions or limitations upon the establishment, location, construction, landscaping, maintenance or operation of the use authorized by the approval as in its judgment may be reasonably necessary to prevent the use from being detrimental to other permitted land uses adjacent to or in the surrounding area of the conditional use, and for the protection of the public interest and welfare. Conditions and requirements stated as part of the approval of a conditional use shall be a continuing obligation of holders of approval. The Director of Community Development may make investigations of developments authorized as conditional uses to determine compliance with the approved conditions.

2.4.7

CHANGES TO CONDITIONAL USE

a.

A conditional use shall be approved for the benefit of the person or entity for whom application was made. The character of the conditional use shall not be changed without a new conditional use and the benefit of the conditional use shall not be transferred to another person or entity without the approval of the Director of Community Development. The Director of Community Development may, at his discretion, request a resolution of the City Commission on any request to change or transfer a conditional use.

b.

Proposed changes to an approved conditional use, including changes to conditions, site development plans or any other provision incorporated as part of the ordinance enacting a conditional use for a particular parcel or parcels, shall be reviewed by the Director of Community Development to determine whether the change is a major or minor modification from previously approved plans or conditions. Any modification of an approved conditional use which involves a change to a more intensive use shall be considered a major modification. Other modifications may be declared major modifications if the Director of Community Development determines they deviate substantially from the approved conditional use. Requests for major modifications shall follow the same procedure set forth herein for conditional use approval. Any proposed change to a conditional use which does not constitute a major modification shall be considered a minor modification. At the discretion of the Director of Community Development, minor modifications may be referred to the Planning and Zoning Board with a recommendation or, if the Director of Community Development deems the proposed change to be de minimus, he may make the minor modification administratively.

c.

Action by the Planning & Zoning Board or Director of Community Development in such cases shall be final. Requests for minor modifications shall be made in writing and shall indicate the effect of the proposed changes, the reasons why the changes are necessary, and, if applicable, shall include a revised site development plan.

2.4.8

REPEAL OR MODIFICATION OF CONDITIONAL USE IF CONSTRUCTION NOT COMMENCED

Failure to commence construction within five years of the effective date of the adoption of a conditional use shall be grounds for the city, at its discretion, to repeal the conditional use, modify the conditional use or retain the conditional use in its current form.

2.5.1

GENERAL

In all zoning districts, the temporary uses listed below shall be permitted subject to approval by the Director of the Community Development Department on a case by case basis. Prior to approving any temporary use, the Director shall find, based on competent and substantial evidence, that the use exactly as proposed at the location where proposed and in accordance with such conditions he may impose, will be in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with existing uses and uses most likely to occur in the immediate area, and will provide for the adequate protection of the public welfare.

Borrow Pits, Borrow Piles and Similar Excavations

Construction Offices, Storage Buildings, Trailers, Watchman's Quarters and Security Fences. Construction or storage trailers when located in residential front yards for more than 72 hours.

Mobile Homes, Recreation Vehicles: When used as temporary housing for victims of hurricanes or other disasters until damaged dwellings are repaired or other permanent housing is obtained.

The use of motor homes or trailers as defined herein shall be permitted on the grounds of the Lakeland Civic Center, Lakeland Linder Regional Airport and Tiger Town on a temporary basis with the written permission of the City Manager, or his duly appointed and authorized agent, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of such permission, for persons participating in entertainment or events at those locations.

b.

The provisions of this Code shall not be so construed as to interfere with the temporary use of any property as a voting place in connection with a municipal or other public election.

2.6.1

INTENT

It is the intent of this article to provide a master list of all uses addressed by this land development code and definitions for the uses that require such definitions. Some uses are further defined in Article 5 (Regulation of Specific Uses) and elsewhere in this code.

2.6.2

SIGNIFICANCE OF STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION NUMBERS

Some industrial, warehouse, wholesale and transportation uses in the Master Use List are described or defined by reference to a U.S. Government Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code number or numbers. (The Standard Industrial Classification system is available on several U.S. Government agency web sites.) When the use is identified by the phrase "as listed in SIC group" followed by a number, the identification has no regulatory significance; it is provided for information only. When the use is identified by the phrase "including all uses listed in SIC group" followed by a number, the identification has regulatory significance; it means the use identified includes all the uses listed in the specified SIC group and that all those uses are permitted wherever the named use is permitted. When the use is identified by the phrase "including the following uses listed in SIC group" followed by a number and a list of uses, the identification has regulatory significance in that the list of uses that follow the SIC group number are included in the previously named use and that all those uses are permitted wherever the named use is permitted. However, no other uses, from the indicated SIC, group are permitted.

2.6.3

Foster Care Services Accessory to Single-Family Dwelling Units: Foster care facilities are private single-family detached homes at which foster care services are rendered as an accessory to the principal single-family residential use of the home. Foster care services are services pertaining to the provision of a family living environment for either children or adult foster residents. Services may include such supervision and care as may be necessary to meet the physical, emotional and social needs of foster residents. However, foster care services do not include the provision of treatment or any other service not included in the services provided in Level I group homes. Foster care services are typically provided on an intermittent or temporary basis. In contrast, the services provided at group home facilities are provided at a home for a period of time, then they may cease to be provided, then they may be provided again for a period of time. Foster care services are provided in homes which are owned or rented by an individual or family for which the provision of the foster services may be the main source of income or may be a supplement to other income, but which exist independently of the provision of foster care services.
