This chapter is to establish districts where the comprehensive plan land uses are located and grouped together to create, protect and maintain a desirable living environment within the City of Marathon. Based on these districts the LDR also implements the goals, objectives and policies of the City Comprehensive Plan (the "Plan") and adopted maps. Zoning district uses, standards, dimensional and area requirements are established in this Chapter.

   2. The above ground portions of the wastewater treatment facility, wastewater treatment collection system(s), and accessory uses shall be screened by structure(s) designed to:
      1. Be architecturally consistent with the character of the surrounding community;
      2. Minimize the impact of any outdoor storage, temporary or permanent; and
      3. The Director may require the installation of a solid fence.
8. All residential lot size requirements are to be calculated based upon the plat survey.

The Official Zoning Map of the City of Marathon, Florida on file in the Department, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby adopted and made a part of the LDRs.

The Official Zoning Map, as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the LDRs, shall be kept on file and made available for public reference in the office of the Director and the City Clerk.

Except as otherwise specifically provided, a district symbol or name shown within district boundaries on the Official Zoning Map indicates that district regulations pertaining to the district extend throughout the area surrounded by the boundary line.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the Director shall interpret the intent of the map as to location of such boundaries. The Director may rely on the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, transcripts of minutes from any public meetings held concerning the property zoning, site inspection of the property or any other information that pertains to the determination of the boundary location. The Director shall complete the boundary interpretation pursuant to the interpretation procedures in Article 21 of Chapter 102. The written interpretation shall include findings and rationale.

The (A) District is intended to establish areas appropriate for airport uses and other uses that are restrictive to the general public, designated within the Airport (A) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).

1. Conservation-Native Area (C-NA) Zoning District. The Conservation-Native Area (C-NA) Zoning District implements the Conservation designation on the Future Land Use Map. This zoning district shall be used for properties which have natural limitations to development because of their sensitive environmental character. Development in the C-NA district shall be permitted only as provided in this article consistent with the land use designation and in accordance with natural and historic resources protections in Chapter 106.
2. Conservation-Offshore Island (C-OI) Zoning District. The Conservation-Offshore Island (C-OI) Zoning District implements the Conservation designation on the Future Land Use Map and this zoning district shall be used for properties which have natural limitations to development because of their sensitive environmental character. Sewage disposal and potable water service shall comply with all applicable Health Department requirements and environmental standards.
3. Residential Low-Conservation (RL-C) District. The RL-C District is intended to establish environmentally sensitive areas that to the greatest extent possible should be preserved in their natural state while allowing very limited residential uses, designated within the Conservation (C) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
4. Sewage Disposal and Potable Water Service within the Conservation Districts. Sewage disposal and potable water service shall comply with all applicable Health Department requirements and environmental standards. Sewage disposal systems and drainfields shall be sited in a manner to protect conservation areas from the discharge of elevated nutrients or improperly treated effluent. The dwelling unit shall be sited such that the location results in the least adverse impact to natural systems, as determined by the City Biologist.
5. Maximum Density within the Conservation Districts. Based upon conditions of the Comprehensive Plan and the LDRs, or as otherwise provided in this chapter, the maximum density for each parcel that is zoned C-NA, C-OI or RL-C shall be determined by the Director based upon the nature of any proposed development activity and the results of a habitat analysis applicable to each specific parcel. This approved density may be less than is permitted in Table 103.15.02.

1. Industrial General (I-G) Zoning District. The I-G zoning district is intended for lands appropriate for light industrial activities. Typical uses include assembly and fabrication industries, warehousing, distribution centers, administrative offices, business support services, affordable housing and heavy manufacturing. Commercial uses are generally limited to business support services and accessory sales for goods produced on-site.
2. Industrial Maritime (I-M) Zoning District. The I-M zoning district is intended to provide for certain maritime industrial and commercial fishing uses which have limited effects upon the use of surrounding land. No maritime industrial use is to be permitted which would bring about unfavorable or offensive conditions off-site (beyond the property line) such as excessive noise, vibration, dust, heat, smoke, odor, or glare.

The City of Marathon has two (2) commercial districts to accommodate commercial and retail uses. The commercial areas are divided into the Mixed-use (MU) Zoning District and the Mixed-use-Maritime (MU-M) Zoning District.

1. Mixed-use (MU) Zoning District. The MU zoning district is designed to accommodate a wide variety of commercial and retail activities that will result in the most efficient and attractive use of the City's historic business district and the US 1 corridor, in an effort to recognize the role of US1 as the City of Marathon's "Main Street". Specifically, this district provides for land uses that have a strong pedestrian-oriented character, with a mixture and concentration of specialty shopping, transient lodging, retail, personal service, restaurant, cultural, fishing industry, affordable housing and entertainment uses in the Old Town area. The MU district also provides for large-scale retail and commercial business opportunities in other areas, including larger shopping centers, specialty shopping centers, individual multi-tenant commercial buildings, automobile services and sales, fast food restaurants, affordable housing residential uses, transient lodging and other retail establishments that serve the community at large. The (MU) district is designated within the Mixed-use Commercial (MUC) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
2. Mixed-use-Maritime (MU-M) Zoning District. The MU-M zoning district is intended to establish areas suitable for uses which are essential to the commercial maritime industry, including sales and service of fishing equipment and supplies, seafood processing, fishing equipment manufacture and treatment, boat storage, restaurants, retail and affordable housing residential uses. The MU district is designated within the Mixed-use Commercial (MUC) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).

The PR District is intended to establish areas for public or private parks and recreation purposes, designated as Recreation (R) on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).

The P District is intended to establish areas appropriate for public service facilities, government facilities and institutions, designated within the Public Facilities (PF) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).

The purpose for the residential districts is to provide for a variety of residential densities while protecting environmentally sensitive areas. The districts will also provide areas for higher densities and more affordable housing opportunities.

1. Residential-Mobile Home (R-MH) District. The R-MH District is intended to establish areas of high-density residential uses characterized by mobile homes in mobile home parks, permanent RVs, and transient RVs where they have previously existed in the District, designated within the Residential High (RH) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
2. Residential High (RH) District. The RH District is intended to establish areas of high-density residential uses characterized by multi-family dwellings and mobile homes designated within the Residential High (RH) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
3. Residential Medium (RM) District. The RM District is intended to establish areas of low- to medium-density residential uses characterized principally by single-family detached and two-family dwellings, designated within the Residential Medium (RM) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
4. Residential Medium-1 (RM-1) District. The RM-1 District is intended to establish an area in the Coco Plum subdivision to ensure that the traditional lot sizes are maintained for single-family detached dwellings, through additional limitations as noted within this subsection, designated within the Residential Medium (RM) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
5. Residential Medium-2 (RM-2) District. The RM-2 District is intended to establish areas in the Coco Plum subdivision of low- to medium-density residential uses characterized principally by single-family detached and two-family dwellings, designated within the Residential Medium (RM) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
6. Residential Low (RL) District. The RL District is intended to establish areas of low-density residential uses characterized by single-family detached dwellings, designated within the Residential Low (RL) future land use category on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).

Permitted, conditional, accessory and prohibited uses are established in the following table by "Uses by Zoning District" of this article. The maximum floor area intensity per type of use is established in Tables 103.15.2 and 103.15.3 of this article. The use of all new or existing structures and properties shall conform to the requirements of the use and intensity tables and all other applicable requirements of the LDRs.

A use not listed in the use table, but possessing similar characteristics, including, but not limited to; size, intensity, density, operating hours, demands for public facilities such as water and sewer, traffic and environmental impacts, and business practices, may be allowed upon approval by the Director. Such uses will be determined based on the use category tables and definitions in Chapter 110 "Definitions". Similar uses shall be subject to all requirements of the uses to which they are similar.

1. Permitted Use by Right (P). A "P" indicates a use that is permitted by right.
2. Conditional Use Approval (C). A "C" indicates that a use is permitted only where approved with a conditional use approval by the City Council in accordance with the procedures in Article 13 of Chapter 102 "Conditional Use".
3. Limited Use Approval (L). An "L" indicates that a use is permitted only where approved through an administrative process such as issuance of a license.
4. Accessory Use Approval (A) to a principle Structure. An "A" indicates that the use is only permitted as an accessory use.
5. Prohibited Uses (Blank Cell). A blank cell in the use table indicates that a use is not permitted in the respective district.

The following Codes are used in this table:

"P" = Permitted As of Right

"C" = Conditional Use

"L" = Limited (Special Standards/License Required)

"A" = Accessory to a Principle Structure

"Blank Cell" = Prohibited

1. Uses. Certain uses, whether permitted as of right, limited, accessory or conditional uses may affect adjacent properties, the neighborhood, or community, even if the site planning and development standards of the applicable zoning district are satisfied. Uses in bold on Table 103.15.1 have special criteria contained in Article 1 of Chapter 104 "Specific Use Regulations", which are intended to mitigate potential problems and hazards, and to ensure consistency with the Plan.
2. Zoning Districts. The density, intensity, setbacks, and dimensional standards relative to each parcel are subject to the limitations of the zoning district as reflected in Tables 103.15.1 and 103.15.2.
