Obetz City Zoning Code
CHAPTER 1161
Overlays
1161.01 PURPOSE.
The overlays shall exist concurrently with the underlying zoning district classifications and provide additional regulations related to use of the property as well as design and development guidelines. In cases where the requirements and standards of the Overlay District conflict with similar requirements and standards of the underlying zoning district, the Overlay District shall supersede such underlying zoning district.
(a) Obetz Junction Center. Obetz Junction Center is the central business district of the Village of Obetz. This area is part of the original village section of Obetz. The complexity of this mixed-use area cannot adequately be addressed through traditional zoning techniques. Therefore special design and development standards are necessary to create an identity for the area.
(b) Alum Creek Drive. Alum Creek Drive is a major arterial in the Village of Obetz and the main commercial corridor. Design and development guidelines are necessary in order to create an identity for the area and promote architectural styles compatible with the municipal government center.
(c) Williams Road. Williams Road is the northern boundary of Obetz and the main route to Fortress Obetz. Obetz' investment in property along Williams Road presents a unique opportunity to create an area which includes businesses and services that meet the needs of the patrons of Fortress Obetz as well as the businesses and neighborhoods surrounding it. Williams Road is a two lane road not capable of accommodating large volumes of tractor trailer traffic.
