(A)   Establishment of zoning districts.  For zoning purposes, the territory within the city is hereby divided into the following classes of districts, which either exist or are proposed to exist within the city. Each of the zoning districts stands alone and is not part of a hierarchy-system of zoning. For example, uses permitted in the NB District are not permitted in the PBC District unless expressly listed as that in the PBC District. Only those uses and standards that are expressly indicated and noted for each district apply to that district. These districts, including PUD, are graphically represented on the official zoning map dated December 10, 2007, which is hereby declared to be a part of this chapter.

      (1)   Single-Family Residential (SF);

      (2)   Single-Family Residential (SF1);

      (3)   Single-Family Residential (SF2);

      (4)   Single-Family Residential (SF3);

      (5)   Traditional Residential (TR);

      (6)   Multifamily Residential (MF);

      (7)   Manufactured Home Park (MH);

      (8)   Central Business (CB);

      (9)   Neighborhood Business (NB);

      (10)   Planned Business Commercial (PBC);

      (11)   Planned Business Office (PBO);

      (12)   Planned Business Industrial (PBI);

      (13)   General Industrial (ID);

      (14)   Institutional (IN); and

      (15)   Open Space (OS).

   (B)   Planned Unit Development (PUD) District established.  The PUD District is hereby established. This ordinance allows for any zoning district(s) to be rezoned for the creation of a PUD. All PUDs shall be consistent with the requirements of Chapter 5: Planned Unit Development.

   (C)   Overlay Districts established.  The following Overlay Districts have been established in order to provide additional enhancements to highly visible corridors and to protect fragile natural environments or unique historic character in the city. The Overlay Districts are detailed in Chapter 6: Overlay Districts and include:

      (1)   Thoroughfare;

      (2)   Interstate; and

      (3)   Downtown.

   (D)   Subdivision of land.  The subdivision of land in every zoning district shall be consistent with the provisions and requirements of Chapter 8: Subdivision of Land of this ordinance.

(Ord. 07-16, passed 12-10-2007)

   (A)   Use matrix.

      (1)   For Table 4.1: Use Matrix, specific uses located in the left column are designated as either permitted uses “P” or conditional uses “C.” If there is no designation, that use is not permitted within that district.

      (2)   A development plan is required for approval for all uses except for those specifically labeled as such, including crop production, farm (general), grazing and pasture land and infill development/minor subdivisions for single-family and two-family residential uses.

   (B)   Explanation of use classifications.

      (1)   Permitted uses.

         (a)   Permitted uses are those uses allowed without special permission of the Board of Zoning Appeals, given that they follow the standards and requirements set forth in this ordinance.

         (b)   A PRINCIPAL USE is defined as the primary use to which a property is devoted and as the main purpose for which the property exists. A principal use may be authorized as either a permitted use or a conditional use.

      (2)   Conditional uses.

         (a)   CONDITIONAL USES are those uses that, because of potential incompatibility and negative impact on the immediate neighborhood, require additional review in order to determine compliance with city standards and to determine their suitability in a given location.

         (b)   In order to achieve balance between the public benefit and the local impact, conditional uses are only permitted following a public hearing and approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals, as per Chapter 2: Administration.

      (3)   Unlisted or questionable land uses.

         (a)   Any use not listed as a permitted use or conditional use within the use matrix, is considered to be not permitted within the applicable zoning district.

         (b)   The Administrator may determine where an unlisted use falls within the use matrix if it is not specifically listed but is similar to another use that is.

         (c)   This determination may be appealed to the Board of Zoning Appeals consistent with the provisions of § 2.4.
