on the premises and whose primary business purpose is to sell such
alcoholic beverages to its customers. No more than one (1) such adult
business may locate within one thousand (1,000) feet of another such
adult business.
c.
Distance Measured. The distance required in Subsection
(C)(29)(b) shall be measured by following a straight line, without regard to intervening structures or object, from the point of the parcel of property containing an adult business as specified above in Subsection
(C)(29)(b) that is nearest to the nearest point of the parcel of property containing another given adult business, residential zoning district, school, park, church, public community center, or other business establishment with a license to serve alcoholic beverages by the drink for consumption on the premises and whose primary business purpose is to sell such alcoholic beverages to its customers.

Waiver Of Compliance Authorized —
Types Of Waivers.
a.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of Subsection
(F)(4) and subject to all of the provisions and conditions of this Section, the owner(s) of residential property which adjoins a boundary of "I-1" property required to be fenced by these regulations may waive such fencing requirements by an instrument in writing. There shall be three (3) types of waivers:
(1) A "permanent waiver," which may only be amended or revoked under the limited conditions described in Subsection
(F)(8) of this Section;
(2) A "term waiver," which shall be for the term set forth in the waiver and which shall automatically renew unless terminated on or before the expiration date of a term as described in Subsection
(F)(8) of this Section; and
(3) A "terminable waiver," which shall be for an indefinite term, subject to termination upon such advance notice as shall be set forth in the waiver, as described in Subsection
(F)(8) of this Section.
b.
A waiver of any of the three (3)
authorized types shall be effective if:
(1) It contains a full legal
description of both the residential property and the adjoining industrial
property;
(2) It is executed by all
persons and entities having an interest in the residential property,
including all persons and entities having or claiming a lien of any
type against such property (except liens for real estate taxes or
assessments);
(3) The owners and lienholders
of all residential tracts which adjoin a boundary of commercial or
industrial property along the entire length or width of the property
for which the waiver is to be effective executes a waiver complying
with provisions of this Subsection; provided, however, that a terminable
waiver may be granted by an adjoining residential property owner whose
property lies at either end of the commercial or industrial tract
required to be fenced, without a joinder of all other residential
property owners along the common boundary, so long as such waiver
would effect only the beginning or ending points of the required fence
and if the required fence would not adjoin or connect to another fence
required to be constructed on either the same commercial or industrial
property or on adjoining or adjacent commercial or industrial property;
and
(4) It is recorded in the
office of the Recorder of Deeds of Polk County, Missouri.
c.
Prior to accepting waiver(s) for
recording pursuant to the provisions of this Subsection, the Zoning
Administrator shall require either an owner's and encumbrance report
issued by a reputable title company in Polk County, Missouri or an
informational title insurance commitment dated within ten (10) days
of the date of the presentation of the waivers to the Administrator.
The waiver(s) shall also be accompanied by cash or check for the full
amount of the fee to record the same in the office of the Recorder
of Deeds of Polk County, Missouri, according to the Recorder's fee

(F)(4), the owner(s) of "I-1" property required to construct a fence pursuant to the provisions of these regulations and the owner(s) of any adjoining residential property may agree, in a writing complying with each of the requirements for a waiver as set forth in Subsection
(F)(4)(b), to waive the fencing requirements of Subsection
(F)(4) in lieu of a landscape barrier which would otherwise comply with the provisions of these regulations, if the residential property was across a public right-of-way from the "I-1" property, rather than directly adjoining it. All conditions and requirements of Subsection
(F)(4)(b) for a waiver shall be fully applicable to an agreement under this Section and such conditions and requirements are incorporated into this Section haec verba. An agreement for the installation of a landscape barrier in lieu of a fence shall be a permanent waiver.
8.

Of Waivers And Agreements.
a.
A "permanent waiver" by a property owner made pursuant to the provisions of Subsections

the delivery of a notice of termination signed by all of the owners
and lien holders of residential property which constitutes no less
than seventy-five percent (75%) of the boundary of the adjoining "I-1"
property; or
(2) Ninety (90) days after the delivery of a notice of termination by any one (1) or more of the owners of residential property adjoining a boundary of "I-1" property, if such "I-1" property is later rezoned "C-S" Highway Services District, "C-2" General Commercial District or "I-2" Heavy Industrial District. A notice of termination given pursuant to this Subsection shall be in writing, shall be in recordable form and shall be given to the owner of the commercial or industrial property affected by the notice and to the Zoning Administrator of the City of Bolivar. A notice of termination given to the Zoning Administrator under item (1) shall be accompanied by an owner's and encumbrance report or an information title insurance commitment complying with the provisions of Subsection
(F)(6)(c) of this Section so that the Zoning Administrator may determine that the notice is signed by the correct and required number of owners and lien holders.
b.
A waiver which is for a stated period
of time subject to automatic renewal shall automatically renew for
a term that is the same as the original term unless, on or before
the expiration date, any one (1) or more of the residential property
owners which adjoins a boundary of the "I-1" property shall give written
notice, in recordable form, to the owner of the industrial property
and to the Zoning Administrator of the City of Bolivar that they elect
to terminate the waiver at the end of the then waiver term.
c.
A waiver which is for an indefinite
period of time shall continue until any one (1) or more of the residential
property owners which adjoin a boundary of the "I-1" property shall

property and to the Zoning Administrator of the City of Bolivar that
they elect to terminate the waiver as of or after the first date allowed
under the provisions of the original waiver.

of a waiver or agreement, the residential property owner giving a
notice of termination shall also deliver to the City, with the notice,
a check, cash or money order for the fee which is then required by

[R.O. 2009 § 410.240; Ord. No. 782 § 1 (Zoning Regs. Art. 2, Topic "P"
Planned Development District §§ 1 – 14), 7-31-1980; Ord. No. 1394 § 9, 8-11-1994; Ord. No. 2998 § XIV, 7-14-2011]
A. Purpose. The purpose of this district is to provide for elements of flexibility in design, placement, arrangement, bulk and other considerations involved in planned districts; to provide a framework within which the buildings and uses in the planned district may be interrelated with adjacent development and areas; and to maintain the desired overall intensity of land use, desired population densities and desired areas of open space. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, this district will not include any uses that would meet the definitions of adult arcade, adult bookstore, adult video store, adult cabaret, adult motel, adult motion picture theater, or adult theater, as those terms are defined by Section
410.030 of this Code.
B. Use Of The "P" District. The Planned Development
District must always be used in conjunction with one (1) of the other
zoning districts, known as the "underlying district." The requirements
of the "P" District shall be in addition to the requirements of the
underlying district, except that the "P" District may modify some
of the regulations of the underlying district in specific situations.
A "P" District may be used in conjunction with any of the other zoning
districts or with any combination of districts.
An application for rezoning to the
"P" District shall include a preliminary development plan and may
include a concurrent request to change the underlying zoning classification.
If the rezoning is approved, the new district shall include the designation
of the underlying district followed by "P." For example, a Planned
Development District of an "R-2" District shall be known as "R-2-P."
Approval of the rezoning based on
the preliminary development plan shall allow the applicant to submit
a final development plan for approval. No building or occupancy permit
shall be issued until a final development plan has been approved.
The use of the "P" District shall be separate from the subdivision
regulations of the City and the development plans required by the
"P" District shall not be construed as plats. It is recommended that
the subdivision process follow the rezoning/preliminary plan approval,
but precede the approval of the final development plan. Re-subdivision
may be a prerequisite to approval of the final development plan.
C. Use Regulations. Any use permitted in the
underlying zone shall be permitted. The uses permitted may be voluntarily
restricted by the applicant or restricted as a condition of approval
by the Planning Commission.
D. Height Regulations. The height regulations
provided for the underlying zoning district shall be required, provided
that the allowed height may be increased by one (1) floor or fifteen
(15) feet upon a showing that the proposed structure is consistent
in scale and bulk to the character of the community and the increase
in density as a result of the increase in height does not create an
adverse effect on the value or utility of adjacent property.
E. Yard Regulations. The yard regulations
provided for the underlying zoning district shall be required, provided
that the yard regulations may be reduced upon a showing of sufficient
open space accessible to occupants; a separation between structures
for firefighting purposes; and that there is consistency with the
visual character of the community. No yard reductions shall be permitted
for those yard spaces which abut another district.
F. Use Regulations.
1.
The proposed development shall provide
access to arterial streets in such a way that the traffic generated
by the development will not cause an unreasonably hazardous condition
or inconvenience in the area.

3645, 1-26-2021]
2.
Structures and traffic shall be arranged
so that all principal buildings are accessible to emergency vehicles.
3.
Parking shall be provided in a manner
which reduces to a minimum its adverse physical impact in the area.
Screening parking areas with landscaping or walls, breaking parking
areas into smaller units by introducing landscaped areas or other
physical separators are suggested approaches. The parking areas should
be appropriately spaced to serve those units they represent.
4.
The availability of services and
location of public utilities shall have the approval of each agency
involved. Evidence to this effect shall be presented with the preliminary
development plans.
5.
Approval of the final development
plan may be conditioned by the Planning Commission or Governing Body
to minimize any negative impact on the community.
G. Application For Rezoning. A petition to
change to a "P" Planned District shall be filed with the City, along
with the filing fee as set forth by separate ordinance. A preliminary
development plan shall be attached and shall include the elements
set forth in these regulations. The process for approval shall be
the same as for any rezoning as provided by these regulations.
H. Approval Procedure. Prior to the approval
by the Governing Body of the preliminary development plan and the
concurrent rezoning to the "P" District, there shall be a newspaper
publication and mailing of notice, a public hearing and a recommendation
by the Planning Commission. If the Governing Body disagrees with the
recommendation, the application shall be returned to the Planning
Commission for reconsideration. Approval of the preliminary development
plan shall be valid for two (2) years from the date of its approval.
The filing and approval of a final development plan for any phase
of the area contained in the preliminary plan shall extend the period
of validity an additional two (2) years. Once approved, the zoning
classification can only be changed through rezoning and cannot be
changed by expiration of the preliminary development plan.

previously reviewed by the appropriate City staff and shall include
a construction schedule development. A final approval by the Governing
Body shall authorize construction to begin according to the construction
schedule providing all appropriate permits have been received. Construction
of at least the first stage of development shall begin within three
(3) years from the date the ordinance of the zoning change was published
in the newspaper. If construction does not begin within this period
and no effort is made for an extension of time by the owner, the final
development plan shall be voided.

the Governing Body, the owner shall provide five (5) copies of the
approved final development plan to the City.
The Zoning Administrator or his/her
designee shall issue building permits only in accordance with the
approved final development plan.

or rearrangement of buildings, parking area and drives, entrances,
heights or open spaces is requested by the applicant, the applicant
shall proceed by following the same procedure previously followed
and outlined in the preliminary development plan.
