(Ord. 88-30, passed 8-8-88)
§ 151.159 SPECIAL USE VARIATIONS.
(A) Purpose.
(1) The development and execution of a zoning ordinance is based upon the division of the city into districts within which districts the use of land and buildings and the bulk and location of buildings and structures in relation to the land are substantially uniform. It is recognized, however, that there are uses which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly classified in any particular district or districts without consideration, in each case, of the impact of those uses upon neighboring land and of the public need for the particular use at the particular location. Such uses fall into two categories;
(a) Uses publicly operated or traditionally affected with a public interest;
(b) Uses entirely private in character but of such an unusual nature that their operation may give rise to unique problems with respect to their impact upon neighboring property or public facilities.
(2) The special use variations may be recommended by the Zoning Board of Appeals to the City Council following a public hearing and based upon the evidence presented at such hearings as prescribed herein for the special use variation.
(B) Initiation of special use variation. Any person owning or having an interest in the subject property may file an application to use such land for one or more of the uses provided for herein in the zoning district in which the land is situated.
(C) Application for special use variation.
(1) Any application for a use variation shall be filed with the City Clerk’s office on a form prescribed by the Building Administrator. A filing fee of $50 will accompany the filing of the application. The City Clerk’s office shall provide the Building Administrator with a copy of such application.
(2) The application shall be accompanied by such plans and/or data prescribed by the Building Administrator and shall include a statement in writing by the applicant and adequate evidence showing that the proposed use variation will conform to the standards set forth herein.
(D) Hearing on application. Upon receipt in proper form, of the application and statement referred to above, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall hold at least one public hearing. At least 15 days in advance of each hearing, notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the city. In addition, notice of all hearings shall be sent to each civic or property owners' organization requesting notices of hearings on use variations or amendments.
(E) Authorization. For each application of special use variation, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall report to the City Council it's findings and recommendations, including the stipulations of additional conditions and guarantees that such conditions will be complied with when they are deemed necessary for the protection of the public interest. The City Council may grant or deny any application for a use variation provided, however, that in the event of written protest against any proposed special use variation, signed and acknowledged by the owners of 20% of the frontage immediately adjoining the property proposed for a special use variation, or by the owners of 20% of the frontage across an alley or directly opposite therefrom, such use variation shall not be granted except by the favorable vote of two-thirds of all the members of the City Council.
(F) Standards. No special use variation shall be recommended by the Zoning Board of Appeals unless said Board of Appeals shall find that:
(1) The establishment, maintenance or operation of the use will not be detrimental or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare.
(2) The use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood.
(3) The establishment of the use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
(4) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and/or other necessary facilities have been or are being provided.
(5) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets.
(6) The use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations may in each instance be modified by the City Council pursuant to the recommendations of the Zoning Board of Appeals.
(Ord. 88-30, passed 8-8-88; Am. Ord. 11-07, passed 4-11-11)
§ 151.160 PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS.
(A) Planned developments are of such substantially different character from other special use variations that specific and additional standards and exceptions are hereby established to govern the recommendations of the Zoning Board of Appeals and the action of the City Council.
(B) In the case of residential, business or manufacturing planned developments, the Zoning Board of Appeals may recommend, and the City Council may authorize, that there be in part of the area of such development and for the duration of such development, specified uses not permitted by the use regulations for the district in which said development is located, provided the Zoning Board of Appeals shall find that:
(1) The uses permitted by such variation are necessary or desirable and are appropriate with respect to the primary purpose of the development;
(2) The uses permitted by such special use variation are not of such a nature or so located as to exercise a detrimental influence on the surrounding neighborhood;
(3) Not more than 20% of the ground area or of the gross floor area of such development shall be devoted to the uses permitted by said special use variations;
(4) In a manufacturing planned development such additional uses allowed by use variation shall conform with the performance standards of the district in which the development is located, as set forth herein;
(5) The special use variation so allowed is reflected by the appropriate zoning district symbols and so recorded on the zoning map.
(C) Bulk regulations. In the case of any planned developments, the Zoning Board of Appeals may recommend and the City Council may authorize, variations to the applicable bulk regulations of the zoning code within the boundaries of such development, provided that the Zoning Board of Appeals shall find that:
(1) Such variation shall be solely for the purpose of promoting an integrated site plan no less beneficial to the residents or occupants of such development, as well as of neighboring properties, than would be obtained under the bulk regulations of the zoning code for buildings developed on separate zoning lots.
(2) The over-all minimum lot area of maximum lot coverage of a residential planned development would not exceed by more than 15% the requirements for individual uses in the district in which such planned development is located.
(3) The minimum lot area per dwelling unit requirements herein shall not be decreased by more than 15% in any such development containing residential uses, and that there shall be available to each residential building and immediately adjacent thereto (including the land area upon which it is erected) the minimum amount of land area required for such building under the lot area per dwelling unit provisions of this chapter.
(4) Spacing between principal buildings shall be at least equivalent to such spacing as would be required between buildings similarly developed under terms of this chapter on separate zoning lots, due consideration being given to the openness normally afforded by intervening streets and alleys.
(5) Along the periphery of such planned developments, yards shall be provided as required by the regulations of the district in which said development is located.
(D) Conditions and guarantees. Prior to the granting of any use variation, the Zoning Board of Appeals may recommend and the City Council shall stipulate, such conditions and restrictions upon the establishment, location, construction, maintenance and operation of the special use variation as deemed necessary for the protection of the public interest and to secure compliance with the standards and requirements specified herein. In all cases in which special use variations are granted, the City Council shall require such evidence and guarantees as it may deem necessary as proof that the conditions stipulated in connection therewith are being and will be, complied with.
(E) Effect of denial of a use variation. No application of a special use variation which has been denied wholly or in part by the City Council shall be resubmitted for a period of one year from the date of said order of denial, except on the grounds of new evidence or proof of changed conditions found to be valid by the Zoning Board of Appeals and the City Council.
(F) Revocation. In any case where a special use variation has not been established within one year after the date of granting thereof, then without further action by the Zoning Board of Appeals or the City Council, the special use variation authorization shall be null and void.
(Ord. 88-30, passed 8-8-88)
§ 151.161 CHANGE OF ZONING.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to give or grant to the Zoning Board of Appeals the power or authority to alter or change the zoning code or any use district made a part of the zoning map; such power and authority being reserved to the City Council, and the Board of Appeals shall not have any power or authority with respect to any alterations or change of the zoning code except to make recommendations to the City Council in such specific cases as may properly come before the Board of Appeals.
(Ord. 88-30, passed 8-8-88)
§ 151.162 MISCELLANEOUS.
(A) No order for a use variation permitting the erection or alteration of a building shall be valid for a period longer than six months unless such use is established within such period; provided, however, that where such use permitted is dependent upon the erection or alteration of a building, such order shall continue in force and effect if a building permit for said erection or alteration is obtained within such period and such erection or alteration is started and proceeds to completion in accordance with the terms of such permit.
(B) No order for a use variation permitting a use of a building or premises shall be valid for a period longer than six months unless such use is established within such period; provided, however, that where such use permitted is dependent upon the erection or alteration of a building, such order shall continue in force and effect if a building permit for said erection or alteration is obtained within such period and such erection or alteration is started and proceeds to completion in accordance with the terms of such permit.
(Ord. 88-30, passed 8-8-88)
§ 151.163 STAY OF PROCEEDINGS.
The appeal shall stay all proceedings and furtherance of the action appealed from unless the Building Administrator certifies to the Zoning Board of Appeals, after notice of appeal has been filed with him, that by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property; in which case the proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals or by Court of Record on application, with notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken, and all due causes shown.
