For the purposes of this appendix the City of St. Clair, Missouri, is divided into the following districts:

A-1, General Agricultural district

R-1a, Single-Family Estate Residential district

R-1b, Single-Family Residential district

R-1c, Single-Family Residential district

R-2, Two-Family Residential district

R-3, Multi-Family Residential district

(1)

A-1, General Agricultural district—Primarily undeveloped land usually found on the periphery of the city. Such lands are usually restricted to agriculture and limited residential use, and constitute the prime areas for urban growth and expansion.

(2)

R-1a, Single-Family Estate Residential district—Restricted residential areas with large Lot size requirements. Such districts create a graceful transition between standard residential areas and rural farmlands.

(3)

R-1b, Single-Family Residential district—Low density residential district with related recreational, religious, and educational facilities being provided.

(4)

R-1c, Single-Family Residential district—Districts similar to R-1b districts but usually permitting higher density.

(5)

R-2, Two-Family Residential district—Residential districts with slightly higher population densities. Such districts create a smooth transition between single-family and multi-family areas.

(6)

R-3, Multi-Family Residential district—High density residential areas served by common facilities and open space.

(7)

C-1, Neighborhood Business district/Limited Commercial district—This district is intended for retail sale of convenience goods or personal services primarily for persons residing in adjacent residential areas. Because the retail and personal services uses permitted may be an integral part of the neighborhood, closely associated with the residential, religious, recreational and educational uses in the neighborhood, more restrictive requirements for light, air, open space and landscaping are established than are provided for in other commercial districts.

(8)

C-2, General Commercial district—Automobile oriented commercial districts providing a wide variety of business services and retail outlets. Such districts usually generate a lot of traffic and require strict parking, paving width, and building setback provisions.

(9)

C-3, Shopping Center district—This district usually consists of large retail outlets such as department stores or shopping malls which usually create a high flow of traffic. The same requirements as the C-2, General Commercial area generally apply.

(10)

C-4, Central Business district—The commercial district usually composing the city center. Such a district should offer a wide range of services and outlets and should be pedestrian oriented.

(11)

I-1, Light Industrial district—An industrial district intended primarily for light manufacturing, assembling, fabrication or warehousing, wholesale and service uses. This area may require access to rail and street transportation.

(12)

I-2, Heavy Industrial district—An industrial district intended to provide for a class of uses other than those specified in the I-1, Light Industrial category. This is an area of intense use and should be separated from residential and commercial uses wherever possible.

(13)

F, Floodplain district—Areas subject to periodic inundation and to be developed in accordance with applicable floodplain regulations. Development in these areas may be confined to agriculture or recreation.

(14)

M, Manufactured Home district—An area intended for the orderly, planned development of manufactured homes and related facilities. The requirements for open spaces and facilities are similar to those provided for in the R-3, Multi-Family district.
