Newdale City Zoning Code

CHAPTER VI

VILLAGE CENTER ZONING DISTRICT

  1. Purpose of This Zoning District. The Village Center Zoning District (VCZD) is designed for use in a traditional small town central business district, where public institutions, small-scale retail and service businesses, and both single and small-scale multiple family dwellings mingle without major conflict.
  2. Permitted Uses. The permitted uses in the VCZD shall be:
    1. one and two family dwellings;
    2. commercial uses that are compatible with the purpose of this zoning district, including home businesses that comply with the detailed performance standards of Appendix D; EXCEPTION: Chapter VI. Sec C. requires a Class II permit for certain commercial uses.
    3. accessory uses and buildings customarily associated with the uses permitted in this zoning district, including the conditional uses; and
    4. minor utility installations.
    5. Residential and commercial uses may be contained in the same building in the VCZD.

      A Class I permit shall be required for any lot split, plat amendment, or permitted use or building, unless that lot split, plat amendment, use, or building is specifically exempted from the requirement for a permit by Chapter III.
  3. Conditional Uses. The conditional uses that may be permitted, upon approval of a Class II permit, in the VCZD shall be:
    1. subdivisions designed for occupancy by any of the uses permitted in this zoning district;
    2. multiple-family (attached) dwellings containing no more than six dwelling units;
    3. commercial uses that involve the use or storage of hazardous materials for which a permit is required by the Uniform Fire Code;
    4. any large-scale development; and
    5. any communication apparatus. See Appendix K.
  4. Specification Standards. The specification standards for development within the VCZD shall be as shown in Table 1.
  5. Performance Standards. Development in the VCZD shall be subject to the general performance standards of Chapter VIII, as applicable, and these additional specific performance standards.
    1. Accessory Buildings. Accessory buildings shall be permitted in side or rear yards only and are subject to the setback requirements of Table 1. Accessory buildings shall also be separated from other buildings on the same lot by at least five feet.
    2. Outdoor Storage. Outdoor storage shall be confined to rear yards, or effectively screened from public view by a privacy fence or wall. The materials and color of screening fences or walls shall be compatible with those of the main building on the lot.
      EXCEPTION: Construction equipment and materials may be temporarily stored in a front yard, but shall be removed promptly upon completion of construction. The parking of a currently licensed vehicle is not outdoor storage.
    3. Livestock on Residential Premises. Livestock may be kept in the VCZD, but only in compliance with City Ordinances.
    4. Landscaped Buffers. Landscaped buffers shall be provided and maintained in compliance with Appendix E.
  6. Where Can This Zoning District Be Mapped. This zoning district is designed for use along Idaho Highway 33 in the central part of the city, where there is an existing mixture of commercial and residential uses, and public institutions. It could be expanded to accommodate development that is compatible with its purpose, but is not intended for mapping in completely new locations.
