The purpose of this Section is to create Zoning Districts, to specify the nature and components of the permitted development within them; and to establish regulations regarding the physical character and intensity of development in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare.

All land within the corporate limits of the City of Noble shall be classified into one of the following Zoning Districts.

The regulations for each Zoning District listed herein contain three major divisions:

A.

The first division is the General Description of the purpose and function of the district.

B.

The second division is the District Use Regulations. These regulations are divided into two categories as follows:

1.

The Permitted Uses category refers to those use units which are permitted in the district by right and without qualification.

2.

The Special Use Permits category refers to those uses which cannot be located in the district without a public hearing before the Planning Commission and the City Council to determine that the proposed use is appropriate for an area and can be developed with the assurance that surrounding land uses will be protected.

C.

The third division is the Development Regulations which establish minimum requirements for such elements such as size of a lot, number of permissible dwelling units, height, setback, and special elements such as sight proof screening. It is not the purpose of the Development Regulations to supersede or render invalid any privately established regulations, such as platted building lines which may be contained in a subdivision plat or deed restriction.

The purpose of this district is to restrict the use of land to the lowest type of intensity. However, it is not intended that this district provide a location for a lower standard of development than is authorized in other districts.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS. Deviations from the requirements of this section may be approved as a part of a Planned Unit Development in accordance with the regulations governing Planned Unit Developments in the City of Noble Zoning Code.

(Ord. No. 545, § 1, 7-18-2016; Ord. No. 569, § 1, 10-20-2019)

The purpose of this section is to supplement the regulations of the individual districts. Specific references have been made to this section for greater clarification, amplification, and specification. A violation of these Supplemental Regulations shall be a violation of the regulations of the zoning district in which the use is located.

Where a site plan is required, it shall be drawn on a 24x36 inch sheet at a minimum scale of 100 feet to an inch. The site plan shall show the exact size, shape, and dimensions of the property, the existing proposed topographic characteristics of the site at a contour interval of not more than two (2) feet, the locations of all existing and proposed buildings and structures, the location of all parking spaces and loading facilities, public and private easements, existing utilities, exterior lighting, all ingress and egress driveways, and any drainage facilities.

The City Engineer shall approve the site plan. In order for an occupancy permit to be granted, all construction shall conform to the approved site plan.

Whenever the City Engineer finds that any proposed construction varies substantially from the site plan, the change shall be referred to the Planning Commission for review at a Public Hearing. A substantial variation is defined as an increase or decrease in the size of the building by 20%, increase in the number of curb cuts or change in direction of curb cuts, and change in point of the discharge of water. A change in the use of a building or property, with said change in use being a permitted use in the applicable zoning district, does not require the site plan to be reviewed by the Planning Commission.

Amendments to the site plan shall occur in the same manner as the original application.

The uses listed under the various districts as special uses permissible after hearing and approval are so classified because they more intensely dominate the area in which they are located than do other uses permitted in the district. With consideration given to setting, physical features, compatibility with surrounding land uses, traffic, and aesthetics, certain special uses may be permitted in an area where they will be compatible with existing or planned land use. The City Planning Commission, sitting as a Zoning Commission, shall hold public hearings and make recommendations to the City Council. The City Council, after notice and public hearing shall review each case on its own merits, applying the criteria established herein, and, if appropriate, authorize said use by granting the special use permit. All the uses permitted in the specified district plus the special use permit requested, shall be authorized by the granting of a special permit.

Application and public hearing procedures for a special permit shall be completed in the same manner as an application for rezoning. See Section 12-805 herein and also 11 O.S. §43-104 through 11 O.S. §43-106. A site plan shall be included with the application as outlined in this code.

The City Planning Commission and the City Council shall use the following criteria to evaluate a special use permit:

A.

Whether the proposed use shall be in harmony with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

B.

Whether the proposed use shall be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the applicable zoning district regulations.

C.

Whether the proposed use shall not adversely affects the use of neighboring properties.

D.

Whether the proposed use shall not generate pedestrian and vehicular traffic that is hazardous or in conflict with the existing and anticipated traffic in the neighborhood.

E.

Where property within any zonings district is required by the Development Regulations Section of that district to have sight-proof screening, no use or conversion of use shall be made of the property until the owner or occupant has erected sight-proof screening in conformance with the requirements of this Section.

All required sight-proof fencing shall be shown on the site plan accompanying the application for a building permit or remodeling permit.

A landscaping plan shall be required as part of the site plan submitted for a building permit, when the applicant chooses to use evergreen vegetation or landscaped earth berms to meet screening requirements.

The owner of a multifamily, office, commercial, or industrial use may install a sight-proof screen on the property line across the front and side of his property, provided that sight triangles at access points and street intersections are excluded.

When property within an industrial zoning district is separated by a local residential street from a residential zoning district, no industrial use shall be made of the industrial property until the owner or occupant has erected sight-proof screening along a side or rear property line or along the front building or property line provided that required sight triangles at access points and street intersections must not be encumbered. If there is any outdoor work, sales, display, and storage areas in the required front yard, sight-proof screening shall be required along the front property line.

The property owner in all zoning districts shall be responsible for landscaping the area within the street right-of-way line and the curb line. This area shall not be hard surfaced, other than a permitted driveway or sidewalk; it shall not be used for the location of any permanent or temporary accessory or non-accessory signs or access or directional signs with advertising.

When it is determined by the Code Enforcement Officer, or other person designated by the City Manager, that improvements required by this Section are not being maintained, it shall be his duty to give notice in writing to the property owner. Such notice shall specify in what manner the improvements are in need of maintenance and a date for compliance. The property owner shall have not less than thirty (30) days to comply with the notice; provided, however, that any person aggrieved by any such order of the notice, may file an appeal within the thirty (30) day period to the Board of Adjustment.

Failure to provide the improvements required by this Planning and Zoning Code or failure to maintain required improvements in the manner prescribed by this Planning and Zoning Code shall constitute an offense and violation of this code.

These regulations provide that adequate parking, loading, and maneuvering facilities will be a part of all land uses within the City. These regulations establish standards and review procedures intended to assure that the demand created by each land use will be satisfied by facilities which are functionally adequate and aesthetically pleasing.

A public alley shall be the only public right-of-way area permitted for maneuvering space to reach a required parking stall.

The standards contained herein represent minimum requirements. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to certify at the time he applies for a building permit that his plan is sufficient to provide sufficient spaces and facilities necessary to assure that no activity will take place on public streets or property not under his control. Any use developed after the date of adoption of these regulations which fails to provide for its off-street parking, loading, and access needs according to this provision shall be in violation of this Zoning Planning and Zoning Code. Upon determination by the Director that a property owner has not provided adequate parking or loading space pursuant to the requirements contained herein to serve his operation, said property owner shall be required to either develop additional parking or loading space or reduce the size of the operation to fit the space available.
