Peoria City Zoning Code

Sec. 21-500

Non-Residential Districts

Sec. 21-501. Intent.

The non-residential districts are intended to collectively facilitate the development and operation of all types of employment-generating uses, including, but not limited to, retail and service establishments, neighborhood convenience stores, business parks and professional offices, research and development centers, storage warehouses and other light-industrial uses in a manner consistent with the Peoria General Plan.

(Ord. No. 2017-33, § 89, 6-13-17)

Sec. 21-502. Zoning Districts.

A. Office Commercial District (O-1). The O-1 District is intended to provide an environment conducive to the establishment of professional offices, medical and legal services, and ancillary retail uses. Certain other types of uses are permitted under conditions and standards that ensure their compatibility with surrounding uses as well as nearby residential districts. The O-1 Districts provide for land use transition between more intensive commercial developments and the less intensive residential neighborhoods.

B. Convenience Commercial District (C-1). The C-1 District is intended to accommodate neighborhood-scale retail and service establishments that provide the incidental daily necessities for the local residential areas. This district constitutes the secondary level of neighborhood commercial development. In order to prevent the undesirable "strip" commercial development, it is intended that each development be contiguous and limited in scale. The C-1 Districts should generally be restricted to the intersection of major arterial streets while providing one-mile separation from other non-adjacent commercial districts. The regulations and development standards are designed to preserve adjacent residential amenities and to prohibit encroachment by more intensive commercial uses.

C. Planned Neighborhood Commercial District (PC-1). The PC-1 District is intended to accommodate small-scale retail and service establishments that provide the incidental daily necessities for the local residential areas. This district allows for planned neighborhood shopping centers typically having a principal tenant (i.e. supermarket) and an accompanying trade area generally limited to adjacent neighborhoods. It is further intended that PC-1 Districts be restricted to the intersection of selected arterial streets while generally providing one-mile separation from other non-adjacent commercial districts. The regulations and development standards are designed to preserve adjacent residential amenities and to prohibit encroachment by more intensive commercial uses.

D. Planned Community Commercial District (PC-2). The PC-2 District is intended to accommodate large-scale planned commercial complexes providing comparison shopping goods and services to a community wide and regional trade area. It is further intended that such commercial centers shall be planned, developed and managed as integrated complexes under unified or condominium ownership.

E. Intermediate Commercial District (C-2). The C-2 District is intended to provide a shopping center for the sale of convenience goods and personal services. In order to prevent the establishment of undesirable "strip" commercial development, it is intended that each development be contiguous and limited in scale. The C-2 districts should generally be restricted to the intersection of major arterial streets while providing one-mile separation from other non- adjacent commercial districts. The regulations and development standards are designed to preserve adjacent residential amenities and to prohibit encroachment by more intensive commercial uses.

F. Central Commercial District (C-3). The C-3 District is intended to accommodate retail and service establishments in the original plat of Peoria, what is now called the 'Old Town' area. While the C-3 District is intended for buildings to be grouped together in compact arrangements in order to provide maximum shopping convenience and efficient use of off-street parking, the development standards contained herein recognize the existing characteristics of individually owned, small-lot business establishments. The regulations and development standards are designed to preserve adjacent residential amenities and to prohibit encroachment by more intensive commercial uses.

G. General Commercial District (C-4). The C-4 District is intended to facilitate a wide range of retail, office, service establishments, and other uses not suitable to be located adjacent to residential zones but necessary to accommodate the larger community. This district is particularly suitable along Grand Avenue and Bell Road where uses are primarily related to auto-borne clientele and by nature, create a high degree of turning movement.

H. Regional Commercial District (C-5). The C-5 District is intended to accommodate large- scale commercial establishments or developments that provide goods and services to a community-wide and regional trade area. These districts are typically located along major arterials (typically 110' of right-of-way) or other regional transportation corridors.

I. Business Park Industrial District (BPI). The BPI District is intended to accommodate the development of office parks, support retail services, warehousing and certain light industrial uses in a comprehensively planned and attractive setting. The regulations and development standards contained within this district include generous screening, landscape buffering and performance standards to ensure compatibility with neighboring districts, particularly when located near residential districts.

J. Planned Light Industrial District (PI-1). The PI-1 District is intended to accommodate certain industrial structures and uses having physical and operational characteristics that might have potential adverse impacts on adjacent properties. The regulations and development standards are designed to permit those industrial uses which can be operated in a relatively clean, quiet and safe manner, and are compatible with adjoining industrial uses without causing adverse impacts, danger or hazard to nearby non-industrial uses.

K. Light Industrial District (I-1). The I-1 District is intended to accommodate certain light industrial developments such as manufacturing uses which can be operated in a relatively clean, quiet and safe manner without causing adverse psychological influence or nuisance effects on surrounding property or similar reasons. The regulations and development standards are designed to accommodate, control and limit such special uses for their own protection as well as for protection of the character of surrounding districts.

L. Heavy Industrial District (I-2). The I-2 District is intended to accommodate certain industrial structures and uses, including large-scale or very specialized industrial operations, having potential adverse environmental impacts on adjoining residential and commercial developments, and, to some extent, the nearby light industrial districts. The regulations and development standards are structured to permit uses involve processing of raw materials and the manufacturing, processing and compounding of semi-finished or finished products.

(Ord. No. 94-27, 6-7-94; Ord. No. 2017-33, § 90, 6-13-17)

Sec. 21-503. Land Use Matrix.

Table 21-503 indicates land uses allowed within the base commercial and employment zoning districts. Specific uses are further defined in Section 21-200 ("Definitions").

A. Explanation of Table Abbreviations.

1. Permitted Uses.

a. "P" in a cell indicates that the use is allowed by right. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of this Zoning Ordinance, including the use-specific standards in Section 21-505, along with compliance with the Peoria Community Design Guidelines.

b. "P" in a cell indicates that the use is allowed by right, unless it is located within two hundred (200) feet of a residential use, than it shall be deemed as a "Conditional Use" which shall be permitted upon receiving a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) as defined below.

2. Conditional Uses.

a. "C" in a cell indicates that in the respective zoning district the use is allowed only if reviewed and approved in accordance with the procedures of Section 21-155, Conditional Use Permits. Conditional uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of this Zoning Ordinance, including the use-specific standards in Section 21-505, along with compliance with the Peoria Community Design Guidelines.

b. The "C" designation in Table 21-503 does not constitute an authorization or an assurance that such use will be permitted. Rather, each conditional use permit application shall be evaluated as to its probable effect on adjacent properties and surrounding areas, among other factors, and may be approved or denied pursuant to the procedures in Section 21-155, Conditional Use Permits.

3. Prohibited Uses."-" in a cell indicates that the use is prohibited in the respective zoning district.

4. Use-Specific Standards. Regardless of whether a use is allowed by right or as a conditional use, there may be additional standards that are applicable to the use. Use-specific standards are noted through a cross-reference in the last column of the table. Cross-references refer to Section 21-505 Use-Specific Standards and apply to all districts unless otherwise specified.

B. Table Organization. In Table 21-503, land uses and activities are classified into general "use categories" and specific "use types" based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics such as the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, and site conditions. This classification provides a systematic basis for assigning present and future land uses into appropriate zoning districts. This classification does not list every use or activity that may appropriately exist within the categories. Certain uses may be listed in one category when they may reasonably have been listed in one or more other categories. The use categories are intended merely as an indexing tool and are not regulatory.

C. Use for Other Purposes Prohibited. Approval of a use listed in Table 21-503, and compliance with the applicable use-specific standards for that use, authorizes that use only. Development or use of a property for any other use not specifically allowed in Table 21-503 is prohibited.

D. Classification of New and Unlisted Uses. When application is made for a use category or use type that is not specifically listed io Table 21-503, the following procedure shall be followed:

1. The Zoning Administrator shall provide an interpretation of the Ordinance in accordance with Section 21-112 as to the use category and/or use type into which such use should be placed, to making such interpretation, the Zoning Administrator shall consider its potential impacts, including but not limited to: the nature of the use; sales; processing; type of product, storage and amount, and nature thereof; enclosed or open storage; anticipated employment; transportation requirements; the amount of noise, odor, fumes, dust, toxic material, and vibration likely to be generated; and the general requirements for public utilities such as water and sanitary sewer.

2. Appeal of the Zoning Administrator's decision may be made to the Board of Adjustment following procedures under Section 21-162 of this Zoning Ordinance.

1. Adult Uses, which are subject to the provisions of Special Conditional Use Permits section of this Ordinance shall be subject to all of the following additional requirements:

In the development and execution of this Section, the City recognizes that there are some uses which, because of their very nature, have serious objectionable operational characteristics, particularly when several of them are concentrated under certain circumstances thereby having a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhood. The primary control or regulation is for the purpose of preventing a concentration of these uses in any one area. Adult Uses subject to these regulations and development standards are as follows:

Adult Arcade

Adult Bookstore, Adult Retail Store or Adult Video Store

Adult Cabaret

Adult Motel

Adult Motion Picture Theater

Adult Theater

Nude Model Studio

Sexual Encounter Center

Any combination of classifications listed above.

f. An Adult Use shall not be located within one thousand (1,000) feet of any other Adult Use, measured from exterior building wall to exterior building wall.

g. An Adult Use lawfully operating is not rendered in violation of these provisions by the subsequent location of a preschool, kindergarten, elementary, or secondary school, public library, service club, neighborhood or community public park publicly owned and operated swimming or aquatics facility; community residential facility or release facility. An Adult Use lawfully operating is not rendered in violation of these provisions by the subsequent rezoning of land to a residential zoning district.

h. For the purposes of calculating the locational requirements in this Section, the distance shall be measured from the exterior surface of the walls of the buildings or portions thereof in which the businesses are conducted or proposed to be conducted to a point which is the required distance apart, in a straight line, not taking into account any buildings, natural or artificial obstructions or structures including the rights-of-way of any public or private roadway or easements.

i. For the purposes of calculating the locational requirements in this Section, the distance measured shall include those areas of unincorporated Maricopa County that are entirely surrounded by the City of Peoria or the City of Peoria and some other incorporated City. The locational requirements in this Section shall also apply to the itemized list of sensitive uses regardless of whether their distance from a proposed Adult Use places them within a county island of unincorporated Maricopa County, unincorporated Maricopa County or an adjacent incorporated City.

j. Prior to the granting of a Special Conditional Use permit for any Adult Use, the Planning and Zoning Commission may impose only those conditions or limitation upon the establishment, location, construction, maintenance or operation of the Adult Use specifically authorized under Section 21-321 and this Section.
