A.
A Comprehensive
Plan for the City of St. Robert was adopted by Ordinance No. 632,
February 8, 1999. Said Comprehensive Plan includes estimates of population
growth, land use surveys, a land use plan, plans for major thoroughfares,
other transportation facilities, community facilities, public services
and utilities and a capital improvement program.
B.
Need
for public services and facilities in both size and location depends
upon the character and intensity of land use. Regulation of the use
of land is thus fundamental to a coordinated optimum physical development
of the community. These Land Development Regulations are intended
to be the foundation of the entire process of improvement of the physical
environment.
C.
The regulations
are intended to preserve and protect existing property uses and values
from adverse or non-harmonious adjacent uses.
[Ord. No. 2118 §§1 —
3, 8-18-2008]
The "A-1" District is composed of those areas of the City whose
principal use is large lot single-family and agricultural uses. The
regulations are designed to ensure harmony between the primary uses
of this district and to promote the development of the "Town and Country"
residential neighborhood. For residential single-family developments,
a maximum density of approximately one (1) residential building lot
per three (3) acres lot will be established as controlling. A trade-off
between the construction of fewer impervious surface areas (i.e.,
rooftops, sidewalks, etc.) and allowances for the creation of greater
open space areas (larger lot areas) will allow the developer to create
the "Town and Country" residential development without being required
to construct curbs and gutters or sidewalks as an integral part of
the dedicated street right-of-way. This relief does not apply to street
light requirements.
[Ord. No. 2118 §§1 —
3, 8-18-2008]
A.
The principal
land use in residential districts is the single-family dwelling. Certain
other uses necessary to serve governmental, educational, religious,
recreational and other needs are allowed as conditional uses subject
to restrictions intended to protect the single-family character of
the district. Internal stability, harmony, attractiveness, order and
efficiency are encouraged by providing for adequate light, air and
open space for dwellings and related facilities as well as considering
the functional relationship between permitted uses in the district.
The following residential districts are established within the City
of St. Robert:
1.
Single-family low-density "R-1L". The "R-1L" District is
intended to promote single-family low-density residential developments
at a maximum density of approximately one (1) residential dwelling
unit per acre. Waiver of curb and gutter and sidewalk requirements
may be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission on a case-by-case
basis and supported by sound engineering analysis of the proposed
development area and the impact of stormwater runoff to adjoining
and downstream properties. This relief does not apply to street light
requirements.
2.
Single-family medium-density "R-1M". The "R-1M" District
is intended to promote single-family medium-density residential developments
at a maximum density of approximately three (3) residential dwelling
units per acre. Requirements for the construction of curbs and gutters
and sidewalks by the developer shall not be waived.
3.
Single-family high-density "R-1H". The "R-1H" District is
intended to promote single-family high-density residential developments
at a maximum density of approximately six (6) residential dwelling
units per acre. Requirements for the construction of curbs and gutters
and sidewalks by the developer shall not be waived.
4.
Two-family "R-2". The "R-2" District is intended to accommodate
mixed housing types, including single-family and duplex dwellings
at moderate residential densities. The two-family district is also
intended to serve as a transition between the single-family district
and the multiple-family district at a maximum density of approximately
four (4) residential dwelling units per acre. Requirements for the
construction of curbs and gutters and sidewalks by the developer shall
not be waived.
5.
Multiple-family "R-3". The "R-3" District is intended to
support apartment type developments at a maximum density of approximately
twenty-eight (28) dwelling units per acre. Developments of this intensity
should have access for vehicular traffic from collector or higher
classified streets, with traffic circulation designed to minimize
the impact on adjoining residential neighborhoods. Hotels, motels
and other developments of similar character do not meet this classification
of use. Requirements for the construction of curbs and gutters and
sidewalks by the developer shall not be waived.
6.
Manufactured home "R-M". The "R-M" District is intended
to promote affordable housing needs through the development of higher
density residential uses primarily for manufactured homes that are
to be used as detached single-family residences. The maximum density
established for this district shall not exceed eight (8) residential
dwelling units per acre. Requirements for the construction of curbs
and gutters and sidewalks by the developer shall not be waived.
[Ord. No. 2118 §§1 —
3, 8-18-2008]
A.
The principal
land use trend in commercial districts within the City of St. Robert
is moderate to high-density retail mercantile's and hospitality services.
Certain other land uses that are intermittently integrated into the
general commercial districts include personal and automotive services.
Careful planning in the development of commercial property within
the City must ensure that the internal stability, harmony, attractiveness,
order and efficiency of adjoining or adjacent residential neighborhoods
are preserved. The following commercial districts are established
within the City of St. Robert:
1.
Commercial Office "C-O". The "C-O" District is designed
to be a restrictive district for low intensity office or professional
uses to allow their location near a residential district without creating
an adverse effect. It is intended that this district be established
in areas that may not be viable for general commercial development
because of location or other market factors, but remain viable locations
for commercial office development because of high traffic volumes
on adjacent streets. Such areas may also generally constitute transition
or buffer zones between arterial streets, or more intensively developed
commercial areas, and residential districts.
2.
Neighborhood Commercial "C-1". The "C-1" District is intended
for uses that provide convenience goods or personal services primarily
to people residing in adjacent residential areas. It also includes
selected retail and service uses that are similar in land use intensity
and physical impact to the neighborhood sales and service uses permitted
in this district. This district is designed to accommodate compact,
freestanding commercial buildings or to function as a transition between
more intense commercial uses and residential neighborhoods. Because
the permitted retail and personal service uses may be an integral
part of the neighborhood, it is intended to be a mixed-use district
that accommodates a variety of low intensity commercial uses. It is
intended to address the planning flexibility needed for the ever-expanding
growth of the City of St. Robert. This district should be utilized
as a transition or buffer zone between higher intensity commercial
land uses and single- and two-family residential districts.
3.
General Commercial "C-2". The "C-2" District is intended
for uses that provide community-wide personal and business services,
shopping centers, retail plazas, hotels and motels, restaurants and
specialty shops that depend upon high visibility, generate high traffic
volumes or cater to the traveling public. No unscreened outside display
of merchandise is permitted, except where indicated. Commercial uses
permitted in this district are generally required to conduct business
activities indoors. The need for community-wide accessibility dictates
that this district should be located along or at the intersection
of two (2) or more arterial or higher classification streets.
[Ord. No. 2118 §§1 —
3, 8-18-2008]
A.
The intent
of the Mixed-Use District is to encourage diversification, variation
and imagination in the relationship of mixed-uses, exterior design,
open spaces and heights of structures for developments conceived and
implemented as comprehensive and cohesive unified projects than is
possible under conventional zoning regulations. It is intended to
permit, upon the approval of a conceptual plan and subject to the
procedures and standards in other Chapters of these regulations, the
creation of Mixed-Use Districts for residential and non-residential
land uses.
B.
The suitability
of each tract of land considered for Mixed-Use District designation
shall be determined in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and
designed to lessen congestion in the streets, to secure safety from
fire, panic and other dangers, to promote health and the general welfare,
to provide adequate light and air, to prevent the over-crowding of
land, to avoid undue concentration of population, and with a reasonable
consideration being given to, among other things, the character of
the district and its peculiar suitability for mixed-uses and with
a goal of conserving the land.
C.
Conventional
subdivision-oriented designs do not fit in Mixed-Use Districts as
the mixed-use standards are significantly different than the conventional
standards by permitting more flexibility and creativity in site, building
and streetscape design and location. The mixed-use standards place
more emphasis on the form or design of new developments and encourage
a compatible mix of residential and non-residential uses. The following
Mixed-Use Districts are established within the City of St. Robert:
1.
Mixed-use low-intensity "MU-1". Provides areas in which
a variety of single-family housing types may exist among neighborhood-serving
commercial and public uses.
2.
Mixed-use medium-intensity "MU-2". Provides areas in which
a variety of higher density housing types may exist among commercial,
public, institutional and selected low-intensity industrial uses.
[Ord. No. 2118 §§1 —
3, 8-18-2008]
The following districts are hereby established primarily to accommodate enterprises engaged in the manufacturing, processing, creating, repairing, renovating, painting, cleaning or assembling of goods, merchandise or equipment: "I-1" and "I-2". The performance standards set forth in Article II and Article III of Chapter 411, Supplementary Uses, place limitations on the characteristics of uses located in these districts. The limitations in the "I-2" District are less restrictive than those in the "I-1" District.
[Ord. No. 2118 §§1 —
3, 8-18-2008]
The "P-1" District is established for those land uses where
State and local government activities are conducted and where such
jurisdictional entities hold title to such lands. Public educational
facilities, hospitals and medical facilities, cemeteries, recreational
facilities and parks are land uses that shall be included in this
district. The district is also intended to classify land that is vacant
but has been designated for activities listed above in an adopted
Comprehensive Plan.
[Ord. No. 2118 §§1 —
3, 8-18-2008]
A.
The "FH-1" District is hereby established as an "overlay" district, meaning that these districts are overlaid upon other districts and the land so encumbered may be used in a manner permitted in the underlying district only if and to the extent such use is also permitted in accordance with Chapter 421 (Floodplain Management) of these regulations. The following "FH-1" Districts exist within, and adjacent to, the City limits of St. Robert:
