[Ord. No. 4873, 4-1-2019]
A.
Purpose. The "MC" Manchester Corridor Commercial District is intended,
by site plan approval, design standards, supplemental standards, and
other procedures hereinafter set forth, to provide for the development
of retail commercial, office, business and personal service, and multi-family
uses for an area along either side of the Manchester Road corridor
in the City of Brentwood. It is intended to promote larger planned,
mixed-use development with an emphasis on architecture and site design
that creates a distinct character for the area and promotes property
assembly to create unified land use development. The purposes of this
district include the following goals and objectives:
1.
Reduce vehicular access points for greater pedestrian and vehicular
traffic safety;
2.
Limit permitted uses for smaller parcels to encourage and promote
property assembly for larger, planned mixed-use development;
3.
Create a pedestrian-friendly, walkable environment with clear
and ample access to the City and Great Rivers Greenway trail system
and open-spaces along the flood mitigation areas;
4.
Encourage building site placement and design that encourages
creation of a "sense of place" and capitalizes on the trail and park-like
areas that the flood mitigation project will create in the area;
5.
Promote a mix of land uses and density that creates an identity
for the area and can offer the potential to create a "live/work" environment
that can take advantage of the District's proximity to public transit;
6.
Encourage increased private investment that will more closely
mirror the City's significant investment to mitigate/eliminate the
recurrent flooding;
7.
Provide benefit to existing property owners though flood mitigation
and the increased value of land that these regulations promote.
B.
Applicability. These provisions of this Section shall apply to all
development within the "MC" District involving:
1.
New construction on a vacant or cleared site;

4.
Yard And Setback Requirements. In the "MC" Manchester Corridor Commercial District, building setback for all Class B and Class C uses, or a development approved by site plan review and in accordance with the procedures of Article III, Section 400.1380, yard and setback requirements will be determined as part of the site plan approval process. All proposed development and uses on individual lots must comply with the standards below:
a.
Minimum Front Yard. Buildings shall be located at least five (5) feet from the right-of-way where the property line is coterminous with the right-of-way but in any event not closer than fifteen (15) feet from the back of curb line of Manchester Road. The provisions of Section 400.1840 shall prevail where applicable on Manchester Road. Where improved sidewalks exist in the abutting public right-of-way, the provisions of this Subparagraph (a) may be waived or modified as part of the site plan review process of Article II of this Chapter that is required for all development and uses within the "MC" District. See applicable example for setbacks on the north and south side of Manchester Road in Figure 5-1.
 |
b.
Minimum Side Yard. None required where commercial buildings are constructed simultaneously with party walls or firewalls, otherwise a minimum side yard of ten (10) feet shall be provided subject to the exceptions of Subsection (4)(c), below (See Figure 5-2):
 |
c.
Building Setbacks Along Streets Intersecting Manchester Road.
Along any street intersecting Manchester Road and within any portion
of the "MC" District wherever the MC District contains or adjoins
a publicly maintained greenway, trail or park area, in order to provide
viewsheds into the adjoining park-like scenes, the building setbacks
show in Figure 5-3 shall apply.
 |
(1)
In locations where the side yard is adjacent to
an existing or proposed street connecting to Manchester Road generally
on a north/south axis, the side yard or building setback line shall
be not less than fifty (50) feet measured from the centerline of said
street or not less than thirty-two (32) feet from the back curb line
of either side of said street;
(2)
In locations where the front yard is adjacent to
an existing or proposed street connecting to Manchester Road generally
on a north/south axis, the front yard or building setback line shall
be not less than fifty (50) feet measured from the centerline of said
street or not less than thirty-two (32) feet from the back curb line
of either side of said street;
(3)
Either of these standards may be modified during the site plan review process of Article II, Division 9 of this Chapter as required in Subsection (B)(5) of this Section but in any event the viewshed created by this standard shall not reduce the distance between buildings abutting either side of such street to less than one hundred (100) feet.
d.
Minimum Rear Yard. A minimum rear yard of ten (10) feet shall be provided. If any property adjacent to the site is zoned to an "A," "B," "AR" or, "MR" zoning classification, there shall be a twenty-five (25) foot rear yard and a sight-proof fence complying with the provisions of Article V, Division 5, of this Chapter.
e.
Transitional Yards, Etc.
(1)
Where a side or rear lot line coincides with a side or rear lot line of any lot in an adjacent residential zoning district ("A," "B," "AR" or "MR"), then a landscaped yard of at least twelve (12) feet in width shall be provided along such a lot. In addition, for any use that involves the construction of a new structure or the expansion of an existing structure, a masonry wall or solid fence complying with Article V, Division 5 of this Chapter of at least six (6) feet but not more than eight (8) feet in height shall be provided in such transitional yard within two (2) feet of the property line.
(2)
Where the rear or side wall of any non-residential
structure is located directly across the street from the front yard
of any residential structure located in a residential district, a
landscaped yard of at least twelve (12) feet in width shall be provided
along the entire length of such rear or side wall.
(3)
The transitional yard requirement may be modified by conditional use permit or by site plan approval as provided in Article II, Division 9. Such modifications may impose more stringent or less stringent requirements in order to mitigate the adverse effects of one (1) land use upon another or conflicts between two (2) different land uses.
5.
Off-Street Parking And Loading. All off-street parking and loading is required to comply with Article IV of this Chapter, but those requirements may be modified in conjunction with the site plan review process to reduce parking requirements and minimize paved surfaces based on the standards outlined in Subsection (G)(3), of this Section. Access to off-street parking and loading must be accessed via controlled access points and may not allow for parking that provides direct pull-in and back-out parking to and from Manchester Road across the site frontage. To reduce curb-cuts onto Manchester Road, all off-street parking for new development or redevelopment of existing sites must have access to an adjoining street other than Manchester Road and must provide for cross-access to adjacent property.
6.
Environmental, Stormwater Management, Grading And Erosion; And Flood Hazard Controls. All development shall conform with the environmental performance standards provided in Article V, Division 6; the stormwater management, grading and erosion control provisions of Article V, Division 7; and the flood hazard control requirements of Article V, Division 8.
G.
Development Requirements, Guidelines, And Standards. To achieve the goals and objectives as outlined in Subsection (A) of this Section and achieve the City's vision for the Manchester Road Corridor, the following development standards are established for each class and use within the Manchester Road Corridor. It is recognized that not all of the standards may be attainable with particular property or uses. Therefore, the regulations in the "MC" District are intended to provide flexibility to property owners and developers for many types of development particularly for the Class A and B sites as provided for in Subsection (F) of this Section with respect to building height and development density. In addition, the regulations are meant to provide a certain degree of latitude to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Aldermen to vary from these or other regulations when reviewing site plans in order to achieve the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and these regulations. The degree to which a site plan for development meets or exceeds the design standards set forth in this Subsection shall be considered and will be evaluated when considering site plans for proposed development. A developer should be prepared to explain why certain development standards cannot be met or that alternatives serve the same purpose as the standard. The standards are intended to allow the Manchester Road Corridor to become another recognized location within the City as a live/work/relax location. Examples of the various standards and/or design features intended to be carried out within the "MC" District are included throughout this Section.
1.
Building Design. New buildings should be designed to include
common features and materials so that a sense of place and character
is created for the "MC" District.

and installed in keeping with the chosen architectural style. Building
material colors should be varied and complementary and three (3) colors

Materials should be of a scale appropriate to the pedestrian and complement
adjacent structures. The table entitled "Exterior Material Legend"
below provides a listing of approved/not approved materials. This
table is intended to provide direction but is not intended to represent
absolute approval or disapproval of any listed item and will depend

Examples include pilasters, piers, columns, friezes, cornices, and
window surrounds. Building elements such as awnings, signs, doors,
windows, and lighting should complement the architecture of the building
facade and finishes (See Example 1).
 |
c.
Design Features And Structures. Use of awnings, canopies, or
other design features should enhance main facades, especially at building
entries. Attached structures such as covered arcades or porte cocheres
shall be compatible with and complement the overall design of the
building and its facade (See Example 2).
 |
d.
Building Entrances. Building entrances are required to be clearly
delineated and indicate a clear transition from the exterior to the
interior of the building. Every main entrance is required to have
a special emphasis when compared to the other portions of the building.
The building address should be clearly displayed in a readable typeface
of sufficient size for reading from a vehicle at a reasonable distance
and oriented to the street or drive frontage recognized by the US
Postal Service and the City's Fire and Police Departments (See Example
3).
 |
e.
Facade Articulation. Buildings and parking structures of three
(3) stories or less in height designed with completely flat facades
and monotone color schemes are not permitted. All buildings and parking
structures are required to have horizontal and vertical facade variations
such as pop-outs, bays, recesses, arches banding, columns, or similar
features. Buildings of more than three (3) stories may have a flat
facade of uniform design above the third floor (See Example 4).
 |
f.
Height And Roofline. Single-story buildings should have varying
roofline elevations to add architectural interest and avoid the appearance
of long, monotonous roofline expanses. A variation such as a parapet
or tower is required every fifty (50) feet of roofline. Also, if mechanical
HVAC equipment that is installed on the roof of any structure in this
district is visible from grade level in residential areas or, is visible
from Manchester Road or any primary access road within a larger development,
said equipment shall be screened by a wall with a finish surface compatible
in design and color to that which is used as a finish building wall
material. The back of parapets should also not be visible from Manchester
Road or any primary access road within a larger development and must
match the color and materials of the building (See Example 5).
 |
g.
Pedestrians/Bicycle Access. All buildings must be designed to
encourage pedestrian activity and social interaction and create a
walkable environment that encourages pedestrian access, as well as
bicycle access, to and within the Manchester Road Corridor and connectivity
to the adjacent greenway trail system.
h.
Windows. Windows are key to the overall design of a building
and the relationship between the exterior and interior. Eye level
windows are required to relate to the scale of a person. Clear glass
for storefronts, windows and doors, within the retail merchandising
areas is required. Slightly tinted glass for energy efficiency purposes
may be used. Window tints shall be grey, blue, or bronze. Mirrored
glass is prohibited. Window signage is strongly discouraged (See Example
6).
 |
i.
Signs. Signs may only be located on buildings and will be planned for as part of the building's overall design and should integrate similar or complementary materials as the building, be harmonious in color, with controlled lighting and must include a comprehensive sign plan as provided for in Section 410.135 (See Example 7).
 |
(1)
Corporate logos are any letter, character or symbol used to represent a person, corporation or business enterprise and are considered graphics which are defined as signage. Corporate logos may be incorporated into a sign so long as the sign is compliant with the provisions of Chapter 410 and is an integrated element of the building design and facade.
(2)
Signs, other than those indicating entry or exit
locations, may not be located on parking structures or within parking
lots except for instances where a parking structure contains ground
floor retail uses.
(3)
Billboards are not permitted on any property within
the "MC" District.
2.
Site Design. New developments are required to match or complement
surrounding new developments and landscapes to create a building and
site design which follow the standards of this Chapter and adds positively
to the overall "MC" District environment. Where applicable and appropriate
site design should provide:

|
•
|
Not located within the ten (10) foot shared sidewalk and bikeway
on the south of Manchester Road.
|
b.
Access to the Great Rivers Greenway and Flood Mitigation Greenway
trail and park networks with a paved, ADA-accessible pathway of not
less than six (6) feet in width from building entries and that is
clearly delineated through parking areas or structures via changes
in paving materials, texture, and/or color. Pedestrian easements and
connections of appropriate width that can connect to other uses within
the area shall also be provided where possible and appropriate with
adjacent landscaping and lighting particularly where such connections
are between buildings. To encourage and promote biking to and from
the "MC" District bike racks shall be provided at appropriate locations
at any building (See Example 8).
 |
c.
Elements such as plazas or large patio areas that can be used
for occasional entertainment events and promote social interaction
in pleasant environments.

Shared Off-Street Parking For Different Categories Of Uses:
In order to minimize stormwater runoff through minimizing paved surfaces,
development in the "MC" District should encourage situations where
shared parking might be appropriate. Subject to site plan review by
the Planning and Zoning Commission and written authorization of the
Zoning Administrator, business establishments constituting different
categories of use whose hours of operation have minimal overlap may
share parking as follows:
(1)
Office use and a retail sales and service use.
The parking requirement for the retail sales and service use may be
reduced by twenty percent (20%), provided that the reduction does
not exceed the minimum parking requirement for the office use.
(2)
Residential use and a retail sales and service
use (other than eating and drinking establishments or entertainment
uses). The parking requirement for the residential use may be reduced
by thirty percent (30%), provided that the reduction does not exceed
the minimum parking requirement for the retail sales and service use.
(3)
Office Use And A Residential Use. The parking requirement
for the residential use may be reduced by fifty percent (50%), provided
that the reduction does not exceed the minimum parking requirements
for the office use.
f.
Shared Off-Street Parking For Uses Of The Same Type: Subject
to site plan review by the Planning and Zoning Commission and written
authorization of the Zoning Administrator, business establishments
constituting commercial uses of the same type having over-lapping
operating hours may share parking allowing reductions in the total
minimum number of required parking spaces as follows:
(1)
Up to a twenty percent (20%) reduction in the total
minimum number of required parking spaces for four (4) or more separate
