The purpose of the City Center Overlay Zone (CCOZ) is to supplement and modify the standards of the underlying zones to promote the creation of a walkable mixed use city center for Millcreek, and to implement the goals and objectives of the Millcreek City Center Master Plan. The City Center is located approximately between Highland Drive and 1300 East, and 3000 South and along 3300 South and as particularly set forth on the Figure 18.47.1 below and the official Millcreek Zoning Map. The CCOZ is intended to facilitate development that promotes quality growth, fosters harmonious development and outstanding design, increases property values, and creates new retail, residential, and other commercial opportunities.

This chapter applies to development and uses in the City Center Overlay Zone. Development in the City Center Overlay Zone may also be subject to the requirements set forth in MKZ 18.61, Sensitive Lands. In addition, the following standards apply:

1. The use and development of property within CCOZ is also subject to other applicable chapters in the zoning ordinance and the regulations of the underlying zone except where specific regulations are provided in this chapter, including but not limited to applicable health and safety codes, building codes, and engineering standards.
2. Standards in other chapters may apply. In the event there is language elsewhere in Title 18 of this code that conflicts with language in this chapter, the CCOZ standards prevail.
3. Any new development, exterior remodeling covering more than 50 percent of the building, or building expansions exceeding 15 percent of the gross square footage of the existing building, shall conform to the CCOZ. Conformity shall not be required for maintenance, exterior painting, or interior remodeling of a building. New signs or sign replacements shall also comply with the CCOZ.
4. The CCOZ area is composed of three districts: the Neighborhood, the Mill Center, and the Market Place. The CCOZ covers the area as set forth in Figure 18.47.1 City Center Overlay Zone Boundaries.

Figure 18.47.1, City Center Overlay Zone Boundaries

1. Permitted uses on any lot in the CCOZ shall be the permitted and conditional uses allowed in the C zone, with the addition of single purpose multiple-household dwellings in the Neighborhood District. Uses in the CCOZ are as determined by the Table 18.47-1 Permitted and Conditional Uses in CCOZ. If a use is not explicitly designated in the table, then the use is prohibited. An applicant seeking a Millcreek Business License may submit a Classification Request by following the procedure as set forth in MKZ 18.15.030 (J), to determine whether a proposed land use aligns with an existing land use listed in Table 18.47-1.
2. Uses are subject to the use limitations as set forth in MKZ 18.47.040. Uses shall be located within one of the Building Types identified in this chapter.
3. In addition to the uses listed below, any building that meets any one of the following criteria shall be approved using the City’s Conditional Use Process as set forth in MKZ 18.15.030 (A):
   1. Any proposed building with a total square footage greater than 25,000 square feet,
   2. Any proposed building with a ground story footprint greater than 15,000 square feet,
   3. Any proposed building with a height greater than thirty-six feet (36’), excluding height projection allowances as set forth in MKZ 18.72.040.

Certain use prohibitions or use limitations are listed in Table 18.47-2. Such use prohibitions or use limitations apply in addition to the general provision that uses not explicitly designated in the table are prohibited.

1. The Tables and Figures in this section establish supplemental bulk and yard regulations for all buildings within CCOZ. These regulations modify and/or supersede any conflicting requirements found in the underlying zone.
2. Building Heights - Minimum and maximum heights are as set forth in Table 18.47-3, CCOZ Height Requirements and Figure 18.47.2, CCOZ Building Height Areas.
3. Any proposed development that overlaps a defined height line that represents a change in building heights, on the Official Planning and Zoning map, shall use the lower standard or may step up the building height as set forth in the Official Planning and Zoning map, at that height line.

4. Spatial Requirements are set forth in Table 18.47-4, CCOZ Spatial Requirements.
   
   

   Table 18.47-4 CCOZ Spatial Requirements
   Spatial Requirement	CCOZ
   Minimum Building Height	Minimum building heights are described in Figure 18.47.2, CCOZ Building Height Areas and in this table.
   Maximum Building Height	Varies by district . See Figure 18.47.2, CCOZ Building Height Areas. (2)
   Projections	Roof structures for the housing of elevators, stairways, ventilating fans or similar equipment required to operate and maintain the building, and fire or parapet walls, skylights, shade structures (awnings, fabric roof coverings, wood and metal open frame structures, etc.), towers (where required by City ordinances), flagpoles, chimneys, stealth wireless or television installations, theater lofts, solar panels, may be erected above the height limits prescribed in this chapter, but no space above the height limit shall be allowed for the purpose of providing additional habitable floor space. No such structures except towers and solar panels, may be located nearer than 10 feet to edge of the building. The maximum increase in height for the above features shall be 14 feet.
   Height Transitions and Building Stepbacks	Height transitions are required for buildings within 100 feet of an R-1 or R-2 zone. (1)(2)(3)
   Maximum Lot or Parcel Coverage	80 percent
   Minimum Lot or Parcel Coverage	50 percent
   Maximum Front Yard	10 feet, subject to the build-to-line standards established in this chapter. The front yard setback is measured from the ROW line, except in the case of a plaza abutting the street, where the setback is measured from the edge of the plaza furthest from the street. (3)(4)
   Off-Street Parking	Not allowed between the front façade of the building and the curb on the street it fronts.
   Residential Density	No maximum density is established.

   
   
5. Table 18.47-4, CCOZ Spatial Requirements Notes:
   1. For any development in CCOZ that is directly abutting an R-1 or R-2 zone, the maximum height for structures within 100 feet of the Residential Zone Boundary shall not exceed 30 feet, as measured from the property line abutting the residential zone. If the residential zone abuts the CCOZ at a property line, the setback is measured from that property line. Buildings may step up to the maximum height allowed after the 100-foot transition requirement has been met.
   2. Building Stepback requirements are set forth in MKZ 18.47.070 (H).
   3. For the purposes of this chapter, where setbacks are measured from a right-of-way (ROW) containing a fully improved sidewalk, setbacks from a right-of-way shall be measured from the edge of the sidewalk that is directly abutting the public right-of-way.
   4. Build-to-lines are defined as the line at which construction of a building façade is to occur on a lot or parcel, running parallel to the front property line, and ensuring a uniform or consistent façade line on the street. The flexibility provided in this Chapter is intended to allow for additional sidewalk space and façade variation, seating, for outdoor uses such as restaurants and to promote sidewalk dining.

1. Landscaping on Public Right-of-Way. Where a development directly abuts a public right-of-way, the development is required to install the street tree, curb, gutter, and sidewalk, pavement matching, streetlights, landscaped planters, and street furniture as set forth in the appropriate street cross section as shown in MKZ 18.47.060 (D) below. This landscaping does not count toward an open space requirement.
2. Drive-up Windows as an Accessory Use for Non-Depository Financial Institutions and Eating and Drinking Establishments are permitted as an accessory use in CCOZ, except that Drive-up Windows associated with Eating and Drinking Establishments are not allowed in the Mill Center District and the Neighborhood District. Existing Drive-up windows for Eating and Drinking Establishments in the Mill Center District continue to be a nonconforming use and are regulated pursuant to the standards of MKZ 18.60, Nonconformities. Drive-up Windows are permitted, subject to the following standards, and as illustrated in Figure 18.47.3
   1. Drive-up windows shall include a canopy or roof that is architecturally integrated and attached to the building and that mirrors the roof form of the primary building.
   2. Drive-up windows are not permitted on facades that face a right‐of‐way unless existing site or access conditions prohibit a drive through window on a façade that does not face a right‐of‐way.
   3. In situations where a drive-up window is required on a street facing façade, the building shall incorporate a five‐foot wide landscaped buffer, either sloped to a three foot (3’) tall retaining wall or a minimum three foot (3’) hedge, between the drive‐up lane and the adjacent parking or right‐of‐way.
      
      Figure 18.47.3, Drive -Up Window Requirements
      
      
      
3. Requirements for Residential Uses. Except as provided by the standards in this chapter, requirements for any residential use established in CCOZ shall comply with the requirements as set forth in MKZ 18.41, Residential Mixed Zone (RM).
4. Street Types. The seven street types identified below are intended to create a specific identity for the City Center District. All public sidewalks shall be colored a consistent color with complimentary accent colors at intersections and mid-block crossings. Exact dimensions and requirements, including sidewalk color and patterns, are subject to approval by Millcreek. For the purposes of this section, where a conflict exists between the streetscape figures and the table requirements for each street type, the requirements in the table shall be interpreted as the standard.
   1. Highland Drive. Highland Drive serves as the primary eastern collector throughout the district. This street section is characterized by narrow travel lanes, dedicated bike lanes, on-street parking where feasible, generous sidewalks, and curb bulb outs at intersections for traffic calming. The intent is to slow traffic through the district, accommodate all modes of travel and focus on pedestrian connectivity. The typical cross-section for Highland Drive is depicted in Figure 18.47.4 and in Table 18.47-5.

   3. 3300 South Boulevard. This street is controlled by UDOT but plays an important role in the recognition of the City Center and the flow of major volumes of traffic in an east/west direction. To facilitate mobility with the City Center area, protected bike lanes are recommended to create better connections between Highland and Richmond streets. The typical cross-section for Highland Drive is depicted in Figure 18.47.6 and in Table 18.47-7.

   6. Laneway. Laneways are to be used as access to parking, rear loaded buildings, loading and delivery areas, services areas for refuse and utilities at the rear of lots, and as connectors for pedestrians. Laneways are intended to provide shared vehicular access to the rear of buildings that allows the front façade to remain tied to the pedestrian realm. The typical cross-section for a laneway is depicted in Figure 18.47.9 and in Table 18.47-10.

1. Corner Lots or Parcels. Corner lots or parcels are deemed to have two front yards. Building corners that face street intersections shall be angled, rounded, setback or otherwise designed to soften the intersection of the perpendicular building facades to ensure vision clearance and create a public space. A corner plaza is required for all street intersections except for internal/mid-block intersections on Neighborhood streets and for laneways and woonerfs, as illustrated in Figure 18.47.11. Mixed Use buildings located on a corner lot or parcel in the Neighborhood District must provide the required minimum first story non-residential uses for one of the two street-facing facades. Streets that require a plaza shall design a minimum of 20 feet wide 15 feet deep usable public plaza space and shall include provisions for shade and protection from inclement weather and seating. For sale art sculpture(s) are encouraged.
   
   Figure 18.47.11, Corner Plaza Illustration
   
   
   
2. Front Yard Setback and Build-to-Line. The front yard setback is the build-to-line within 300 feet of all public street intersections within the CCOZ boundary. At least 50 percent of the front elevation of the building(s) must be within 10 feet of the build-to-line, except for the corners specified above. A build-to-line is defined as the line at which construction of a building façade is to occur in a lot or parcel, running parallel to the front property, and ensuring a uniform building facade line on the street.
3. Parking requirements are as set forth in MKZ 18.63, Parking and Mobility Standards, except that commercial/ retail, service uses, and office uses shall provide a minimum of 3 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet.

4. All off-street and structured/garage parking shall be located to the side or rear of the building to preserve street facing facades for transparency and pedestrian activity, as illustrated in Figure 18.47.12. Structured parking that faces a street shall be wrapped with commercial or office uses. Surface parking lots are not allowed if visible from the adjacent street.
5. On-street parking, located on the same side of the street in front of the building housing the businesses, in the form of parallel or angled spaces can account for up to two-thirds of the required commercial, retail, or office parking.
6. Bicycle Parking requirements are as set forth in MKZ 18.64, Parking and Mobility Standards.
7. Building Length and Facades.
   1. No new building elevation may exceed 100 feet in length without at least a three-foot (3’) variation in the depth of the façade along the public right-of-way and a two-foot (2’) variation on other facades.
   2. Residential unit balconies shall not be interpreted to meet this requirement. No single building shall exceed 250 feet in length.
   3. A separation of a minimum of ten feet is required, which creates a passageway to interior spaces. Such passageways shall be lit, provide a safe pedestrian space and include vegetation in boxes every 30 feet of length.
   4. As a minimum, building facades shall provide pedestrian plazas every 150 feet of building length to break up long building façades along public rights-of-way.
   5. The top story of a building shall have architectural differentiation from the other stories of the building and rooflines shall vary every 100 feet, at a minimum.
   6. For first story uses in the mixed use building type, the appearance of small shops/storefronts with variation in the first story façade every 30 feet is required.
8. Building Stepbacks.
   1. Building Stepbacks along Streets and Property Frontages: For any building or development that is over 40 feet in height or located on properties fronting on the Millcreek Common, 3300 South, Richmond and/or with frontage on Highland Drive, a 20-foot stepback of the building façade, facing any street, is required between the top of the first story and the top of the third story and upper stories. This building stepback shall incorporate one of the two stepback variations:
      1. A segmented stepback, such as, a 10-foot initial stepback between the first and second stories followed by an additional 10-foot stepback between the second and third stories as depicted in Figure 18.47.13, or;
      2. A full stepback of 20 feet between the first and third stories, that is utilized as a usable space for building tenants or businesses occupying the building, as depicted in Figure 18.47.14.
   2. Building Stepbacks along Side and Rear Property Lines: For any building over 40 feet in height, the following building stepbacks apply:
      1. Rear Property Line. A five-foot (5’) stepback along a façade facing the rear property line is required between the top of the first story and the top of the third story and upper stories. Building setbacks greater than 15 feet in depth from a rear property line are not required to provide a five-foot (5’) building stepback.
      2. Side Property Line. 10-foot stepback along a façade facing a side property line is required between the top of the first story and the top of the third story and upper stories. Building setbacks greater than 15 feet in depth from a side property line are not required to provide a 10-foot building stepback.
   3. Stepback Exceptions:
      1. Exception for Buildings with Corner Plazas. For buildings on corners where a corner plaza is required by MKZ 18.47.070 (A), facades within 30 feet of the edge of the corner plaza are not required to include a building stepback.
      2. Exception for Commercial Single-Purpose Buildings. Commercial single-purpose buildings are exempt from Stepbacks along Streets and Property Frontages so long as the proposed building is no greater in length than one hundred feet, no greater in depth than eighty feet, has a ground story footprint that is eight-thousand square feet or less, is no greater than 40 feet in building height, and the following additional design standards are met:
         1. For street-facing building facades, exterior building materials used shall consist of a minimum of 75 percent brick or stone excluding windows, and 25 percent of the exterior building materials may consist of composite materials, or other materials of similar quality, hardiness, and low maintenance characteristics excluding windows. Stucco and EIFS are prohibited for use as materials on any façade visible from a right-of-way.
         2. First story and ground stories shall be at least 12 feet in height.
         3. Buildings must have a minimum of at least one entrance to the first story and shall front on the street. Entrance locations fronting the street shall be further articulated by a change in composition materials, color, texture, or pattern, and shall be recessed or projected.

9. Open Space and Plazas.
   1. For all development that includes residential uses, the open space requirement is 20 percent of the site.
   2. This open space requirement shall be fulfilled through rooftops, terraces for general resident use, plazas, and pocket parks.
   3. The required common open space shall be for general use by the residents of the building and/or the public and be usable land areas that are not occupied by buildings, dwellings, structures, parking areas, streets, public park strips, curb-gutter-sidewalk, driveways, or alleys and shall be accessible by all residents of the development.
   4. For the purposes of this chapter, gross site area is defined as the total area of the development excluding anything in the public right-of-way.
   5. For development or redevelopment involving sites that are one acre in size or greater, at least 40 percent of required open space must be in the form of a plaza that is located at the front, corner or side of the building, and open and accessible to the public at all times.
   6. The following requirements must be met, generally as illustrated in Figure 18.47.15:
      1. At least 80 percent of the plaza’s perimeter that does not front on vehicular right- of-way shall be lined by building frontages.

The open space/park requirement may be modified through potential substitutions for any development that faces Millcreek Common or could benefit from contributing to pedestrian connections to the Common, subject to a Development Agreement with the City, following the process for rezones and with Development Agreements as set forth in MKZ 18.15.010 (D). Such substitutions are intended to enhance open spaces and pedestrian connections with features by acquiring or improve land that is destined to become part of the Millcreek Common. The Millcreek Common is the signature open space in the City Center and is a benefit to all development in the City Center, including improved pedestrian connections to the Common.
    2. In-lieu substitutions are encouraged for the benefit of the City Center by application to the Planning Director, under the following circumstances:
    3. In-lieu substitutions of land are intended to fulfill the requirements for open/park space and may be allowed when it can be factually established by a qualified land appraiser, that the substituted land is at least equal to or greater in value than the associated development property, as if it were to be fully developed as proposed. The City will determine with the developer the actual property to be appraised, both in the proposed development and in the Millcreek Common. The City will select and employ an appraiser through a contract. The cost of the appraisal shall be borne by the developer, through reimbursement to the City. New appraisals will not be required if recent (within one year) information is readily available.
    4. Cash in-lieu. the City may determine that in certain situations, accepting cash as an in-lieu substitution, where it can be shown that acceptance of those funds, is more effective in acquiring open space/park land and improving pedestrian connections within the City Center. Cash in-lieu payments shall not be accepted without a qualified appraisal process as per (1) above. The City shall be obligated, in a timely manner, to use the in-lieu funds within the City Center for land purchases, open space, pedestrian system enhancements, and/or park related improvements.
    5. Any land which has been dedicated, set aside, platted, or otherwise approved as open space, may not be substituted or used for any purpose other than those allowed by this chapter.
    6. In-lieu substitutions shall be reviewed by the Planning Development Director, through an application, however, final approval of the in-lieu substitution rests with the City Council. Such approvals shall occur prior to issuance of a Final Site Plan approval or a building permit.
