Madison City Zoning Code

B-3 PLANNED

BUSINESS DISTRICT

§ 155.130 GENERAL.

   The Planned Business District of the municipality is designed to provide for maximum commercial site design and utilization in areas favorable for commercial growth but experiencing a variety of developmental problems. These problems may relate to existing or future traffic, land acquisition, topographical, utility and related problem areas. This zone district provides maximum flexibility for the developer to create an attractive, profitable commercial enterprise and for the municipality to maximize vehicular and pedestrian safety, to potentially reduce capital expenditures for public improvements and to create a more attractive community. This zone district will facilitate the combination and establishment of developments and uses in locations where it would be appropriate under approved site plans and conditions necessary to protect the general welfare.
