Sec. 050-120. - Resiliency uses.

The City Commission finds that new uses are emerging relating to community resiliency technologies. These uses address matters such as, but not limited to, carbon sequestration, water storage, biofuels, solar collection arrays and distribution, and wind farms or other emerging renewable energy systems. This Section provides for and regulates these uses.

(A)

Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to provide for the conditional use approval of emerging resiliency uses.

(B)

Distinction. Resiliency uses are uses that are the sole or principal use on a parcel and provide service beyond the individual parcel or building on a parcel and address carbon sequestration, water storage, biofuels, or renewable energy collection and distribution. This is to be distinguished from green building features specific to and serving an individual project such as electric vehicle charging stations, photovoltaic system, solar water heating system, green infrastructure or wind turbines that are accessory uses and not the subject of the conditional use process required under this Section.

(C)

Applicability: Resiliency uses require conditional use approval and are permitted in any zoning district.

(D)

Approval procedure.

(1)

Application for conditional use approval for a resiliency use shall be made pursuant to Article 105, Conditional Uses.

(2)

A site plan application meeting the requirements of Article 85, Site Plans, and an operational plan shall be submitted with the application.

(E)

Building permits. Building permits are required for all resiliency uses.
