§ 153.041 DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICTS.
(A) R-15 Residential Single-Family, Low Density. The R-15 District is provided to allow low density residential neighborhoods with a quality of openness and provide for certain rural amenities, on larger minimum lots. The District is intended to promote and preserve single-family residential development. The principal land use is single-family dwellings and incidental and accessory uses located in a rural environment, and removed from the central core of the city.
(B) R-7.5 Residential Single-Family, Medium Density. The R-7.5 District is to accommodate a need for moderate density residential uses by providing opportunities for both single-family and two-family dwelling units, and located closer to the central core of the city.
(C) MU-1 Mixed Use. The MU-1 District is to provide opportunities to create land use patterns that provide for a complementary and compatible mix of uses. The MU-1 District allows a combination of compatible residential and nonresidential uses, such as small retail stores, professional offices and commercial services necessary to satisfy the requirements of the residents of the city, while also providing for single-family dwellings.
(D) C-1 Commercial, Extensive. The C-1 District is intended to provide suitable areas for the location of various types of commercial activity needed to serve the commerce of the area. The development standards provided for this district are intended to minimize any adverse effect of commercial areas on adjoining areas by achieving maximum compatible integration of land uses, by preserving the aesthetic qualities of the area, while providing safe and efficient uses.
(E) Special Purpose Districts/Overlay Zones. These districts/zones are designed to overlay or be superimposed over existing zoning within a defined regular zone. When special districts or overlay zones are employed, the existing zone remains effective with the additional conditions superimposed by the overlay zone as determined by the Planning Commission or as set out elsewhere in this code, and all boundaries, notations and other data shown on any map(s) depicting the existing zone is made by this reference as much a part of this section as if fully described and detailed herein. Such an overlay zone can be interchangeably referred to as a floating zone because the existing zone remains effective except for the conditions superimposed by the overlay zone. The allowed uses are confined to the boundaries of their respective zones within the overlay zone or special purpose districts and are provided to meet specific needs and goals of the city as follows.
(1) RA-1 Residential-Agricultural. The RA-1 is an overlay within the R-15 District for semiagricultural uses, i.e., keeping of livestock, excluding swine, and located in proximity to the city boundary.
(2) MHP-1 Mobile Home Park. Approval only through the conditional use permit process and upon demonstration that the conditional use is appropriate for a particular site within the R-7.5 District, considering such factors as existing utility availability, access, visual aesthetics and so on.
(3) MHP Overlay Zone/Special District. These overlay uses, other than MHP-1s, shall be located only in R-7.5 or C-1 and only as permitted by the Planning and Zoning Board as a conditional use.
(4) RV-1 Overlay Zone/Special District. This overlay use, shall be located only in R-7.5 or C-1 and only as permitted by the Planning and Zoning Board as a conditional use to accommodate travel trailer courts.
(Prior Code, § 10-3-2) (Ord. passed 8-10-2006; Ord. 020912-01, passed 2-9-2012)
§ 153.042 APPLICATION PROCEDURE.
(A) For the Special Purpose Districts/Overlay Zones, any person, persons, groups, agencies, partnerships or corporations who desire to develop in a designated overlay zone or special district must obtain a conditional use permit application from the Planning Commission office.
(B) Said permit must be filled out and returned to said office with a sepia of the proposed development site plan.
(C) The Planning Commission staff will present the application and site plan to the Planning Commission at the Planning Commission’s next regularly scheduled meeting. The Planning Commission will at that time determine what reviews of the site plan, if any are necessary to satisfy the concerns of this chapter.
(D) Recommendations received under this section are in no way binding on the decision of the Planning Commission to grant a conditional use permit, or overlay or special district status but the Planning Commission may incorporate the recommendations as conditions of approval of a conditional use permit and/or the granting of overlay or special district status.
