The Special District provides for a range of spatial forms based upon the use and intensity intended.

9.1.1 General Provisions

The intent is for concentrations of medical facilities and related uses to be in a “campus” setting that will better accommodate the needs of the medical profession and those served by it. Facilities on and immediately surrounding Hospital Road will be subject to these provisions.
Uses include: assisted living facilities, care centers, community associations, civic associations, nursing homes, educational facilities, group care homes, hospitals, life care communities, municipal buildings, municipal facilities, parks, places of worship, public buildings, public facilities, medical offices, professional offices, retail sales, and research facilities.

9.4.1 Intent

The intent of the special uses infill compatibility standards is to accommodate and encourage compatible development and appropriate redevelopment in existing special use areas, while reinforcing the established character of the area and mitigating adverse impacts on adjacent residential and commercial uses.

9.4.2 Applicability

When indicated on the base dimensional standards chart as “infill standards”, infill development standards shall be applied unless determined to be not applicable in accordance with Section 9.4.2. The base dimensional standards of the district shall apply if infill standards are not applicable.
The standards contained within this section apply to any building in an S-I and S-E district.
These infill development standards do not take precedence over any requirements found in a Historic District.
Front Setback
1. The proposed building must be located within the range of setbacks, no closer than the smallest setback in the range and no further than the largest setback in the range.
2. On an interior lot, the range of setbacks is measured on the basis of the two (2) closest lots in both directions along the primary street. This shall be considered the measurement of the block face.
3. On a corner lot, the range of setbacks is measured on the basis of the two (2) closest lots along the primary street. This shall be considered the measure of the block face.
4. Where the calculation cannot be applied to at least four (4) lots on an interior lot or two (2) lots on a corner lot, the building shall meet the base dimensional standards for the zoning district.
5. Where a setback in any lot(s) used in the calculation is significantly out of the range of setbacks along the block face, the City Planner may eliminate it from the range.
Side Setback
1. The minimum side setback is equal to the average side setback of the two (2) closest lots in either direction along the block face.
2. On a corner lot, the side setback adjacent to a street (also known as a secondary street), shall match the front setback of the two (2) closest lots along the secondary street.
3. No setback is required to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the subject lot width.
4. No structure shall be sited within ten (10) feet of an existing structure on the adjacent lot.
