Willoughby City Zoning Code
CHAPTER 1153
Limited Retail and Limited Industrial Overlay Districts
1153.01 PURPOSE.
The purpose of the Limited Retail and Limited Industrial overlay zoning districts is to allow the City to establish special land use regulations in areas with land use, site planning, and/or building design issues. These overlay zoning districts are also an appropriate mechanism to implement the City's long-term economic development goals.
(a) The Limited Retail Overlay District is intended to be applied to areas of the City zoned Limited Industrial District (L-I) in order to allow additional, primarily retail/service uses in locations that are adjacent to existing G-B districts.
(b) The Limited Industrial Overlay District is intended to be applied to areas of the City zoned General Business District (G-B) in order to allow additional, primarily storage, distribution and limited industrial uses in appropriate locations.
(Ord. 2020-21. Passed 2-18-20.)
1153.02 APPLICATION OF THE DISTRICTS.
The Limited Retail and Limited Industrial Overlay Districts are overlay districts that, when applied, are in addition to and shall overlay the existing base zoning district where the Overlay District is established, so that any parcel of land lying in a Limited Retail Overlay District (LR-O) or a Limited Industrial Overlay District (LI-O) shall also lie in one or more of the other zoning districts provided for in this Code.
The Planning and Zoning Code provisions of the underlying district(s) shall apply within the Overlay District for permitted and conditional uses enumerated in the underlying district, except where specifically modified or supplemented by provisions of the overlay district.
Except as modified by the overlay zoning district, the provisions of the applicable base-zoning district shall apply to all development within the boundary of the designated area. If regulations conflict, the applicable overlay zoning district regulations shall prevail.
(Ord. 2020-21. Passed 2-18-20.)
1153.03 ESTABLISHMENT AND DESIGNATION.
A Limited Retail Overlay District and a Limited Industrial Overlay District shall be established in accordance with the required procedures for a Zoning Map amendment pursuant to Chapter 1121.03 and shall be applied in conjunction with base zoning districts. The boundaries of all Limited Retail (LR-O) and Limited Industrial (LI-O) Overlay Districts shall be indicated on the Official Zoning Map and the district designation of LR-O or LI-O, as appropriate, shall be superimposed over the existing zoning designations on the Zoning Map.
