[R.O. 2012 §405.320]
The purpose of this district is to provide contiguous, functional
areas for medium density vehicular-oriented commercial and service
activities. Specifically, those uses directly related to motorized
vehicular activity, i.e., service stations, auto laundries, drive-in
restaurants, motels; those uses generating large traffic volumes,
i.e., community shopping centers, recreational complexes; and/or uses
whose operations require large scale open storage, i.e., automobile
dealerships, building supply yards, shall be located in this district.
The district will be concentrated along and provide maximum frontage
on arterial roads and as such is essentially linear in configuration.
Sufficient lot depth shall be provided in all parts of the district
to assure adequate landscaped buffer areas between highway businesses
and any abutting residential districts.
[R.O. 2012 §405.325; Ord. No. 3741 §1, 8-13-2012]
The permitted uses in the "B-2" Highway Business District shall be as set out in Appendix A of this Title. Any dwelling placed or constructed within said district shall also comply with all of the requirements set forth in Sections 405.100 through 405.130 for "R-1" dwellings, Sections 405.150 through 405.180 for "R-2" dwellings or Sections 405.200 through 405.230 for "R-3" dwellings.

The conditional uses in the "B-2" Highway Business District
shall be as set out in Appendix A of this Title.
[R.O. 2012 §405.335]
A.
Subject
to compliance with the procedures of this Section, accessory buildings,
structures and uses are permitted in conjunction with a permitted
land use or development or (unless restricted by applicable condition)
a conditional land use or development when such accessory building,
structure or use is customarily found in conjunction with the primary
use, is a reasonably necessary incident to the primary use, is clearly
subordinate to the primary use, and serves only to further the successful
utilization of the primary use. Accessory buildings which are not
a part of the main building may be built only in a required rear yard,
but such accessory building shall not be nearer than five (5) feet
of the rear lot lines nor eight (8) feet of the side lot lines. Accessory
uses include the following:
1.
Accessory uses or buildings customarily incidental to the above uses.
2.
Refuse disposal. The storage and collection of refuse
shall be so managed as to create no health hazard, rodent harboring,
insect breeding areas, accident hazards, or air pollution. All refuse
shall be stored in fly-tight, water-tight, rodent-proof containers
which shall be provided in sufficient number and capacity to accommodate
all refuse. Satisfactory containers shall be provided at permanent
locations, in areas appropriately and visually screened and accessible
to solid waste collection vehicles.
3.
Driveways shall be provided on the site where necessary for convenient
access to service entrances of buildings, to delivery and collection
points for fuel, refuse and other material, and elsewhere as needed.
[R.O. 2012 §405.340]
Every building hereafter erected shall be on a lot having an
area of not less than ten thousand (10,000) square feet and a width
at the established building line of not less than eighty (80) feet.
[R.O. 2012 §405.345; Ord. No. 2716 §1, 2-11-2002; Ord. No. 3693 §1, 11-14-2011]
A.
Front Yard. Each lot upon which a building is constructed
shall have a front yard of not less than fifty (50) feet except for
those parcels on the south side of Highway 50 between Clearview Road
and Highway 47 North which may have a front yard equal to the distance
between the building line as such exists on the effective date hereof
(February 11, 2002) and the right-of-way of Highway 50.
Provided further, in those instances wherein the right-of-way
width of the adjoining street is less than sixty (60) feet in width,
no parking area, sign or other structure shall be located closer than
six (6) feet to the right-of-way without prior approval of the City
Engineer. The City Engineer shall review any request to locate a parking
area, sign or structure within the six (6) additional feet giving
due consideration to traffic safety, access from the subject property
onto adjoining streets, traffic visibility and the type and/or location
of the parking area, sign or structure to be constructed. The City
Engineer shall have the right to eliminate in whole or in part the
requirement of not building within the additional six (6) feet if
the City Engineer determines that doing so would not create a safety
hazard. Pump islands shall be located at least twenty (20) feet from
any street or highway right-of-way.
B.
Side Yard. No side yard is required, except for a lot which
abuts upon an "R" District. There shall be then provided a side yard
equal to twice the front yard required in the abutting "R" District,
but in no case less than forty (40) feet.
C.
Rear Yard. There shall be a rear yard of not less than twenty
(20) feet.
D.
Lots Abutting Streets Or Highways. If a lot abuts street(s) or highway(s) on two (2) or more sides, the Building Inspector or designated Zoning Enforcement Official shall determine, after reviewing the proposed plans and use, whether or not side or rear yard requirements will be required. In making such determination, such official shall consider among other factors the impact such use would have on traffic flow in the affected area, the effect, if any, the proposed structure shall have on the safe operation of motor vehicles in the affected area, and the effect the absence of a side and/or rear yard will have on the surrounding area. In the event that the designated official believes that a given proposed use or building on any such lot is such that it is of great concern to the public at large, such official will refer the decision to the Board of Aldermen for action. The provisions of Subsection (B) of this Section pertaining to lots which abut an "R" District shall take precedence over this paragraph as concern side yard requirements. The provisions of Subsection (C) of this Section pertaining to "rear yard" requirements shall take precedence over this paragraph. Any of the foregoing notwithstanding, in no event shall a side or rear yard which abuts a street or highway be required to be greater than fifty (50) feet.
E.
Buffer Area. On lots abutting "R" Districts on the rear
or side, there shall be provided a ten (10) foot wide planting strip
extending the length of the abutting portion of the lot. The buffer
area shall be in addition to any yard area that may be required and
shall be landscaped and planted with trees and/or shrubs to provide
a typical opaque planting screen in accordance with Appendix B of
this Title. Such area shall be maintained in a neat and attractive
manner. No parking of vehicles, or location of structures, trash containers
or other facilities shall be permitted within the buffer area.
