In order to classify, regulate and restrict the locations of trades, industries and the location of buildings designed for specific uses; to regulate and limit the height and bulk of buildings hereafter erected or structurally altered; to regulate and determine the areas of yards, courts and other open spaces surrounding such buildings, the City of Pevely, Missouri, is hereby divided into districts, of which there shall be fourteen (14) in number known as:

All territory which may hereafter be annexed to the City of Pevely, Missouri, shall be classified in the "R-1" Low Density Residential District until, within ninety (90) days following the annexation, the annexed territory shall be appropriately classified by ordinance in accordance with Article X of this Chapter.

The boundaries of the zoning districts established within the City of Pevely are shown on the Zoning District Map of the City of Pevely, Missouri. Said map and all information, amendments, notation and references shown thereon shall have the same force and effect as if all were fully set forth or described herein. The original of the Zoning District Map is properly attested and is on file with the City Clerk of the City of Pevely, Missouri.

Whenever any public way is vacated by the City of Pevely, any adjoining zoning district shall automatically be extended to the center of the public way. However, as long as this public way is not vacated, the zoning district only extends to the edge of the road right-of-way.

When uncertainty exists in regard to boundaries of districts shown on the District Map, the following rules shall apply:

No building or structure in a given district shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered. All buildings or land shall be used in concert with the purposes permitted in the said district.

No building or structure within a district shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered, except in conformity with the height, yard, area, parking and other regulations stipulated for said district.

The minimum yards, lot areas, other open spaces and parking spaces required by this Chapter shall be provided for each and every building or structure hereafter erected. Such minimum yards, lot areas, open spaces and parking spaces for each and every building or structure whether existing at the time of passage of this Chapter or hereafter erected shall not be encroached upon or be considered as a yard, lot area, open space or parking requirement for any other building or structure.

For minimum front yard, side yard and rear yard requirements, measurements will be taken from the edge of the road right-of-way. Road right-of-way is determined by plat maps and by certified surveyors.

Every building hereafter defined shall be one (1) and only one (1) main building on a given lot, unless otherwise provided for in this Chapter.

Detached accessory buildings may be located in a rear yard, as long as they are not used as dwellings or businesses in a residentially zoned area. These structures may not be located nearer the front lot line than the main building and at least six (6) feet from side and rear lot lines. Attached accessory building shall conform to the same side, rear and front yard setback requirements as principal structures.

Those persons petitioning for the development of a Planned Residential Development District, Planned Business District or Planned Industrial District shall file and present records to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Aldermen, respectively. The petitioner shall make a payment of one hundred dollars ($100.00) plus two dollars ($2.00) for each lot planned for development. Any petition shall be accompanied by a preliminary development plan and the following required information:

The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing and petition the Board of Aldermen. The Board of Aldermen shall defer action on the petition, until it has received the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. In a case where a property may be or is already zoned "B-3", the Planning and Zoning Commission shall hold a public hearing.

The Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation shall state how the proposed development utilizes good planning practices, impacts uses in adjoining districts and contributes to the general welfare of the community. If the Planning and Zoning Commission approves development, development plans shall meet the regulations listed below, as follows:

After the Board of Aldermen passes an ordinance authorizing the establishment of a Planned District, the developer shall submit the final development plans to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The plans shall include any information required by the Planning and Zoning Commission for adequate consideration of the plan. The plans shall satisfy the subdivision regulations and other pertinent City ordinances. If the Planning and Zoning Commission finds that the submitted plan deviates from the approved preliminary development plan, the Commission shall report to the petitioner and the Board of Aldermen how the said plan deviates from the approved preliminary plan. If deemed necessary, the Planning and Zoning Commission may forward a resolution of intent to the Board of Aldermen for the purpose of a new public hearing regarding this matter.

Within sixty (60) days of approval, the Recorder of Deeds of Jefferson County, Missouri, will record and file the final development plan. Any additional regulations established in the ordinance shall apply.

No building, facilities, commercial establishments or service concerns may occupy or use any portion of the district until the developer provides the required on-site and off-site improvements, including (but not limited to) streets, sidewalks, sanitary and storm sewers, street lights, street trees, landscaping, screens and buffers. If necessary, a performance bond or escrow posted covering the estimated cost of said improvements shall suffice. The developer shall be required to identify the improvements, their construction cost and construction time period in a submitted development plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Should the developer fail to complete the improvements according to plan within the construction time period approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, proceeds from the performance bond or escrow account shall be paid to the City of Pevely in the amount required for the improvements to be brought into conformance with the plan. If the Planned District is developed in sections, all improvements necessary for the proper functioning of the section shall be constructed and installed or a performance bond or escrow posted to the City of Pevely covering the estimated cost of the improvements.

If substantial development of the district does not begin within the period of time specified in the ordinance pertaining to this district, the Board of Aldermen may revoke the new zoning and re-establish the zoning which was in place prior to development of the Planned District. A public hearing shall be required for this rezoning. The owner shall be notified of the proposed rezoning before any action is taken.

The Board of Aldermen may extend deadlines for the submission of final development plans and construction completion schedules.

After the City records a final development plan for a Planned District, the Planning and Zoning Commission may approve changes which are consistent with the purposes of this district and the Comprehensive Plan. The developer shall submit a new petition explaining the nature of the proposed changes.
