[Ord. No. 05-424 §1, 11-14-2005]
A. 
Intent And Purpose. Within the Village, certain existing lots, structures and uses of land which were lawful prior to the adoption or amendment of this Zoning Code are prohibited under the terms of this Chapter. This Article is intended to declare non-conformities to be incompatible with the permitted uses in each district; to permit non-conformities to continue until they are removed; and to prohibit non-conformities from being expanded, enlarged or increased in intensity.
B. 
Non-Conforming Lots Of Record. Notwithstanding anything in this Chapter 405, otherwise conforming structures may be built on lots of record that were made non-conforming by this Chapter as to size, width or area; provided however, that such structures shall conform to setbacks and other regulations not involving size, area or width of the lot.
C. 
Non-Conforming Structures.
1. 
Authority to continue. Any non-conforming structure, except for a structure located in the setbacks and which is devoted to a use which is permitted in the zoning district in which it is located, may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the restrictions in Subsections (A) through (D) hereof.
2. 
Repair, alterations. Any such structure described in Subsection (A) above may be maintained, repaired or remodeled; provided however, that no such maintenance, repair or remodeling shall either create any additional non-conformity or increase the degree of existing non-conformity with all or any part of such structure. Nothing in this Zoning Code shall be deemed to prevent the strengthening or restoring of a structure to a safe condition in accordance with an order of a public official who is charged with protecting the public safety and who declares such structure to be unsafe and orders its restoration to a safe condition (where such restoration will not be in violation of this Section).
3. 
Damage, decay, destruction. In the event that any non-conforming structure or any structure devoted in whole or in part to a non-conforming use is damaged or becomes extensively deteriorated or is destroyed by any means to an extent equaling greater than fifty percent (50%) of its then current fair market value, such structure shall not be restored except in conformity with all applicable provisions of this Chapter including the regulations of the zoning district in which the building is situated. However, such structure may be restored if the Board of Adjustment finds a compelling public necessity requiring the continuance of the non-conformity. When a structure, the use of which does not conform to the provisions of this Chapter, is damaged or becomes extensively deteriorated or is destroyed by any means to an extent of more than twenty-five percent (25%) but less than fifty percent (50%) of its then current fair market value, it may only be restored on the issuance of a permit by the Zoning Administrator with the approval of the Board of Trustees. If such damage is twenty-five percent (25%) or less of its fair market value, then restoration may be made as otherwise provided by all applicable ordinances of the Village.
4. 
Extension within building only. Any non-conforming use may be extended throughout any parts of a non-conforming structure which were manifestly arranged or descended for such use at the effective date of this Zoning Code or any amendments thereto, but no such use shall be extended to occupy land outside of such building or structure.
5. 
Moving. No structure described in this Section shall be moved in whole or in part for any distance whatever, to any other location on the same or any other lot unless the entire structure shall thereafter conform to the provisions of the zoning district in which it is located after being moved.
D. 
Non-Conforming Uses.
1. 
Authority to continue. Any lawfully existing non-conforming use of part or all of a structure or any lawfully existing non-conforming use of land, not involving a structure or only involving a structure which is accessory to such use of land, may be continued so long as otherwise lawful, subject to the provisions contained in Subsections (2) through (9) hereof.
2. 
Ordinary repair and maintenance.
a. 
The normal maintenance and repair or the replacement, installation or relocation of non-bearing walls, non-bearing partitions, fixtures, wiring or plumbing may be performed on any structure that is devoted in whole or in part to a non-conforming use. Neither this nor any other provision of this Chapter shall be interpreted to authorize any increase in the size or degree of the non-conforming use or any violation of the provisions of any other Subsections of the Section.
b. 
Nothing in this Zoning Code shall be deemed to prevent the strengthening or restoring of a structure to a safe condition in accordance with an order of a public official who is charged with protecting the public safety and who declares such structure to be unsafe and orders its restoration to a safe condition (where such restoration will not be in violation of Section 405.380.)
3. 
Major rehabilitation or structural alterations. A structure devoted in whole or in part to a non-conforming use shall not be renovated, remodeled or rehabilitated to an extent equaling greater than fifty percent (50%) of its fair market value prior to such renovation, remodeling or rehabilitation, nor shall the structural system of the building be altered, unless the entire structure and use of the structure shall thereafter conform to all provisions of this Zoning Code and of the zoning district in which the use is located.
4. 
Extension. A non-conforming use shall not be extended, expanded, enlarged or increased in intensity or area.
5. 
Damage, decay, destruction. In the event that any non-conforming structure or any structure devoted in whole or in part to a non-conforming use is damaged or becomes extensively deteriorated or is destroyed by any means to an extent equaling greater than fifty percent (50%) of its then current fair market value, such structure shall not be restored except in conformity with all applicable provisions of this Chapter including the regulations of the zoning district in which the building is situated. However, such structure may be restored if the Board of Adjustment finds a compelling public necessity requiring the continuance of the non-conformity. When a structure, the use of which does not conform to the provisions of this Chapter, is damaged or becomes extensively deteriorated or is destroyed by any means to an extent of more than twenty-five percent (25%) but less than fifty percent (50%) of its fair market value, it may only be restored on the issuance of a permit by the Zoning Administrator with the approval of the Board of Trustees. If such damage is twenty-five percent (25%) or less of its fair market value, then restoration may be made as otherwise provided by all applicable ordinances of the Village.
6. 
Moving. No structure that is devoted in whole or in part to a non-conforming use, shall be moved in whole or in part for any distance whatever, to any other location on the same or any other lot, unless the entire structure and use thereof shall thereafter conform to all provisions of the zoning district in which it is located after being so moved.
7. 
Change in use. A non-conforming use shall not be changed to any use other than a use permitted in the zoning district in which the use is located. When a non-conforming use has been changed to any permitted use, it shall not thereafter be changed back to a non-conforming use.
8. 
Abandonment or discontinuance. In the event that the non-conforming use of any building or premises is discontinued for a period of six (6) months, regardless of any reservation of an intent not to abandon or to resume such use, any subsequent use or occupancy of such structures shall comply with provisions of this Zoning Code including those of the zoning district in which the structure is located.
9. 
Non-conforming accessory uses. No use which is accessory to a principal non-conforming use shall continue after such principal use shall cease or terminate.
E. 
Non-Conformities Within Setback Lines. In addition to the provisions of this Chapter regulating setbacks, the following regulations shall apply to those non-conformities located within prescribed setback lines.
1. 
Projection of existing structures into required setbacks. No structure shall be constructed, reconstructed or structurally altered in such a manner as to project into the area prescribed as a setback as established by this Chapter.
2. 
The lawful use of any building (and specifically excluding signs, billboards or other structures which are not buildings), all or part of which may otherwise be in violation of this Chapter, may be continued, provided that no structural alterations shall thereafter be made on the portion of the non-conforming building located within the prescribed setback lines. New buildings to replace destroyed or removed non-conforming buildings shall conform to the provisions of this Article.
3. 
Removal of signs and other material. Any advertising sign, billboard or structure other than a building or any stored material within the prescribed setback from the right-of-way of a public or approved private street or highway shall be removed within two (2) years from the effective date of this Chapter, November 14, 2005, or any amendments hereto. Signs, billboards and other structures located within setbacks not involving the right-of-way of a public or approved private street or highway shall be governed by the provisions of this Section.
[Ord. No. 05-424 §1, 11-14-2005]
A. 
The foregoing height and area requirements shall be subject to the following exceptions and regulations:
1.

Permitted accessory structures, other than fences, screens, main buildings or detached garages, may be constructed up to ten (10) feet from the required setback for the rear yard except for corner lots where no structures shall be within ten (10) feet of the side lot line abutting the street.
[Ord. No. 05-424 §1, 11-14-2005; Ord. No. 06-431 §3, 3-13-2006]
A. 
Purpose. In the past the commercial districts of the Village of Marlborough ("Village") have been developed in a haphazard, disjointed fashion with little consistency throughout the districts(s). Certain general regulations have prevented desirable development while a lack of more detailed regulations has left the commercial corridor subject to some inappropriate development. The Village has developed an Initial Comprehensive Plan ("Comprehensive Plan") to address and evaluate all future redevelopment activities within the Village's commercial districts. Therefore, applications for "redevelopment" or "development" within any of the Village's commercial districts shall be subject to "development plan" approval process set forth herein where specified circumstances exist. It is the intent of this Section to authorize these "planned uses" only where the location and circumstances are appropriate to the use and a development plan is approved by the Board of Trustees for any use designated as a planned use. It is also the intent of this Section to increase the flexibility of development design through evaluation and approval of a redevelopment plan. Approval of a redevelopment plan shall be considered a legislative act of rezoning. Any ordinance approving a redevelopment plan shall be deemed to incorporate the provisions of this Section.
B. 
Site Development Plan Process — When Required.

Expansion of existing buildings in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the existing floor area;
c. 
Any development or addition wherein a drive-through window is contemplated; or
d. 
Any development or expansion of a walk-up, drive-through establishment or automotive convenience store or used car lot.
e. 
An applicant proposes a change in use where the use is not authorized by the underlying zoning but where the Board finds that such change will not violate the spirit of the Zoning Code or the Village's Comprehensive Plan; or

Procedure. Except as established by this Section, the procedures and requirements for filing, review and approval of either a site development plan (referred to as a "development plan") shall be the same as those set forth in Section 405.105 (Changes and Amendments) for other amendments to zoning district regulations or boundaries.
2. 
Criteria for approval. The Board of Trustees shall use the applicable zoning district regulations, the Village's Comprehensive Plan, as amended, and any supplements thereto as a guide for review of a development plan. The Board of Trustees may permit modifications from the underlying district regulations. Use regulations, however, shall not be modified to permit uses specifically prohibited in the zoning district governing the property or to which the applicant seeks rezoning or that are not otherwise permitted by the Comprehensive Plan. If the Board of Trustees imposes conditions or restrictions on a development plan, it may designate specific requirements that must be met before an applicant may submit a final development plan application or be issued a building permit. To the extent they are pertinent to any development plan application, the Commission and the Board of Trustees shall give consideration to the following criteria:
a. 
Whether the development is compatible with and incorporates standards and principles contained in the Village's Comprehensive Plan, any supplement thereto and/or adopted regulations.
b. 
The criteria governing the rezoning of property.
c. 
Whether the development is designed, located and proposed to be operated so that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected.
d. 
Whether the development will impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property or impair the use and enjoyment or value of neighboring properties.
e. 
Whether the development incorporates adequate ingress and egress and an internal street network that minimizes traffic congestion.
f. 
The capability of the site to accommodate the building, parking and drives with appropriate open space and safe and easy ingress and egress.
g. 
The degree of harmony between the proposed use and the surrounding neighborhood.
h. 
The degree of harmony between the architectural quality of the proposed building and the surrounding neighborhood.
i. 
The appropriateness of the minimum dimensions and areas of lots and yards set forth in the applicable zoning district regulations.
The above list is not exhaustive; the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Trustees may also consider other factors relevant to the particular application.
3. 
Development plan in rezoning ordinance. If the development plan application was submitted with an application to change the zoning district category, any development plan approved through the hearing process, concurrent with such application, shall become part of the ordinance that amends the zoning district category of the property.
4. 
Conditions on approval. If the Board of Trustees attaches conditions to the approval of a development plan, it shall designate specific requirements, if any, that must be met before executing the final plan. The Board of Trustees delegates to the Building Commissioner the authority to determine whether the specifically prescribed conditions attached to the approval have been satisfied by the applicant. Such conditions may arise from a change in circumstances since the original approval, identification of new information or other reasonable factors warranting conditions as necessary to satisfy the approval criteria.
E. 
Submission Of Final Plan.
1. 
The applicant shall file a clean and corrected original of the approved development plan including any changes or conditions required by the Board (the "final plan") with the Village Clerk who shall, along with Building Commissioner and Village Attorney or other consultant, determine whether the final plan conforms to the terms of the Board of Trustee's approval of the site development plan. The final plan shall be accompanied by an application (in a form approved by the Village Clerk) signed by the applicant and which states the applicant's name and address. The application shall also include a legal description of the property affected. The original application shall be accompanied by five (5) copies. If the final plan conforms with any changes or conditions imposed by the Board, a bill for approval of the final plan shall be placed on the next Board of Trustees meeting agenda for consideration and approval by the Board.
2. 
All final plans shall include the map or plan requirements for either a site development plan plus any conditions or changes required by the Board of Trustees, during its review of the development plan, to be added to the final plan;
3. 
Along with final plans, applicant shall submit, if applicable:
a. 
Final written approval from all interested jurisdictions, including MSD and the fire district.
b. 
Deeds of dedication for all rights-of-way or easements required as a result of site development plan approval, if conveyance thereof is not to be made by plat or by the filing of the improvement plan pursuant to this Section.
c. 
A copy of all covenants and restrictions applicable to the development, if required by the terms of the site development plan.
d. 
Evidence of the establishment of the agency for the ownership and maintenance of any common open space and all assurances of the financial and administrative ability of such agency, if required by the terms of the approved site development plan.
e. 
Evidence of satisfaction of any conditions of the site development plan approval.
F. 
Recording Of Final Plans. Following the Village's approval by ordinance of a development plan, a copy of the final plan executed by the designated Village Official shall be filed by the applicant with the Recorder of Deeds of St. Louis County within sixty (60) days. All filing fees shall be paid by the person who filed the development plan application. The authorization for the use approved by the development plan shall not become effective until a copy of the recorded plan bearing its recordation notations shall be returned and placed on file with the Village Clerk.
G. 
Modification Of Zoning Map. Any approved improvement plan shall be reflected on the Zoning Map as an amendment of the district by designation of "-P" after the district abbreviation of the district in which the plan was approved (for example, an approved improvement plan in the "C-1" District will be denominated as "C1-P").
[Ord. No. 05-424 §1, 11-14-2005]
A. 
Purpose. Not all situations require the detail of the full site development plan process set forth. Generally, no development plan approval is required simply by reason of a change in ownership or change in tenant occupancy of property when the existing or proposed use is a permitted use in the zoning district and the proposed use does not involve any alteration, expansion or other modification to the property or the exterior of the structure(s) thereon. However, if a proposed use by an applicant is not allowed in the zoning district in which the property is located, such a use may not be carried on absent either an amendment to the Zoning Code to allow the use or a change in zoning for the property to a district that allows the use. An applicant may also seek to modify the use regulations for the district in which the property is located through the full development plan process, as long as it will not violate the Village's Comprehensive Plan. In other situations, the proposed use is allowed in the zoning district but only as a planned use. Thus, although, based on the proposed use of the existing structure and property, an evaluation of that use through the development plan process is necessary, such review, since it does not involve any changes to the physical features of the property or exterior of the structures, does not need the more detailed review of the development plan process. While all of the purposes for a development plan apply, less review is often required for changes in tenancy or ownership when the applicant seeks to only to improve the interior of the existing structure(s) or the type of use on the property without drastically changing the exterior of the building. It is the purpose of the sketch plan to allow a more focused review of the relevant circumstances surrounding an application to allow a use not otherwise permitted.
B. 
Sketch Plan Process — When Required.
1. 
The sketch plan process set forth in this Section shall be required in the "C-1" Commercial District or "C-2" Higher Intensity Commercial District when none of the criteria in Subsection (B) of Section 405.090 above apply and:
a. 
An applicant seeks a change in the use from a use on property for which a sketch plan has already been approved; or
b. 
An applicant seeks to use the property for a use, not previously in existence on the property, that is listed in the Table of Uses; or
c. 
Any alteration changing existing drive aisles or vehicle access to or on the site.
C. 
Sketch Plan — Application, Contents And Submission Requirements.
1. 
The sketch plan application shall constitute a petition for amending the applicable zoning regulations for the particular property unless deemed otherwise by the Board of Trustees and/or Planning and Zoning Commission.
2. 
An applicant shall submit the sketch plan and ten (10) eight and one-half (8½) by eleven (11) or eight and one-half (8½) by fourteen (14) copies of the plan along with all general application requirements and a review and processing fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) to cover the Village's administrative costs. If the fee is insufficient to cover the actual costs of these administrative expenses, the Village may require the applicant to reimburse the Village for any shortfall as a condition precedent to issuance of an occupancy permit. Conversely, if the fee exceeds the amount needed to cover the actual costs of the Village, the Village shall refund the difference to the applicant within a reasonable time.
3. 
The following information shall be submitted by the applicant:
a. 
A verified application signed by the owner(s) of the property affected and, if applicable, the tenant(s) (referred to as the "applicant") seeking approval of the application;
b. 
A sketch plan consisting of:
(1) 
A detailed description of the proposed use of the property;
(2) 
A sketch plan of the site (may be hand drawn) showing approximate location of buildings, other structures and lot arrangements as well as any proposed landscaping or exterior improvements and proposed location and type of signage;
(3) 
The approximate gross floor area of existing and proposed use;
(4) 
A description of the expected parking needs;
(5) 
Details of any proposed improvements to the property;
(6) 
A description of the types of products to be sold or services to be provided;
(7) 
The proposed hours and days of operation;
(8) 
The maximum number of employees;
(9) 
The date on which the applicant proposes to begin the use;
(10) 
A description of any other existing uses and/or tenants on the property; and
(11) 
A description of the uses of adjacent properties.
c. 
Any Federal, State or St. Louis County licensing requirements for the proposed use along with copies of all licenses obtained; and
d. 
A written statement explaining the need for a change in the applicable zoning district regulations to allow the applicant's proposed use, if applicable. The statement shall address the potential positive and negative impact of the proposed use on the surrounding properties and uses.
e. 
If the property contains more than one (1) tenant, the applicant may, but is not required to, provide the Village with letters from the other tenants supporting the application.
f. 
Any other information requested by the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of Trustees.
4. 
The applicant shall furnish the Village with ten (10) copies of the completed application and requested information.
5. 
When there are other occupants currently engaged in other uses on the property effected by an application, the Village must determine whether approval of a Sketch plan will impact the other occupants, whether the other occupants should be joined in the application and whether a sketch plan is feasible for the property in light of the number of other occupants/tenants and the various types of uses. If the Village determines that the sketch plan process is not feasible for the particular situation, it may treat the application as one for a text amendment.
6. 
If the applicant is requesting a modification to the applicable area requirements, a narrative statement that explains the need for modification shall be submitted in support of the application for the sketch plan approval.
D. 
Review Of Sketch Plans.
1. 
Procedure. The sketch plan shall be submitted directly to the Board of Trustees for review and consideration. The Board may refer the sketch plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission for its review and recommendation if the Board desires or if required by law.
2. 
Criteria for approval. The Board of Trustees shall use the applicable zoning district regulations, the Village's Comprehensive Plan, as amended, and any supplements thereto as a guide for review of a sketch plan. The Board of Trustees may permit modifications from the underlying district regulations. Use regulations, however, shall not be modified to permit uses specifically prohibited in the zoning district governing the property or to which the applicant seeks rezoning or that are not otherwise permitted by the Comprehensive Plan. If the Board of Trustees imposes conditions or restrictions on a sketch plan, those requirements must be met before an applicant may be issued a building permit. To the extent they are pertinent to any sketch plan application, the Commission and the Board of Trustees shall give consideration to the following criteria:
a. 
Whether the development is compatible with and incorporates standards and principles contained in the Village's Comprehensive Plan, any supplement thereto and/or adopted regulations.
