[Ord. No. 646 §2]
The regulations contained within this article are those of the
"PI" Planned Industrial District, to be designated "PI" on the city
zoning map. It is the purpose of these regulations to allow or assure
the establishment of combinations of developments or uses for which
no provision is made in the "M-1" or "M-2" Industrial Districts or
where it is appropriate or desirable to make special provision for
specific industrial developments to occur through approval of detailed
site plans in conjunction with appropriate development conditions
to ensure consistent and compatible uses or use groups in character
with the "Eureka City Plan."
[Ord. No. 646 §2]
A Planned Industrial District may be established on a tract of land through application and approval by the board of aldermen in accordance with procedures contained in Section 23-182; provided, that a final development plan is subsequently approved by the planning and zoning board and recorded by the petitioner in the office of the recorder of deeds of the county.
A Planned Industrial District may be established by ordinance
or resolution of the board of aldermen on its own motion where the
board has determined that a particular tract or area would be best
developed for a particular industrial use, but because of potential
conflict with adjoining uses existing or projected, a greater degree
of control than is possible under the "M-1" or "M-2" Industrial Districts
is necessary to protect the general welfare or assure the implementation
of an area-wide planning program.
[Ord. No. 646 §2]
In a Planned Industrial District, the uses permitted shall be
the same as those permitted with or without special use permit in
the "M-1" or "M-2" Industrial Districts and related or accessory commercial
uses or may be approved and specifically authorized by the board of
aldermen. However, the specific ordinance authorizing the establishment
of a Planned Industrial District may further limit the uses permitted
on the tract.

No. 1016 §1, 3-3-1992; Ord. No. 1337 §1, 2-17-1998; Ord.
No. 1387 §1, 12-15-1998; Ord. No. 1488 §24, 10-17-2000; Ord. No. 1653 §8, 10-15-2002]
(a)
The minimum lot area for the establishment of a Planned Industrial
District shall not be less than three acres, unless such parcel is
a logical extension of or is being developed in conjunction with an
adjacent existing or proposed nonresidential use.
(b)
Yard area for structure, open area and setback for parking areas
and lighting shall be established by the conditions of the particular
Planned Industrial District ordinance so as to ensure consistency
or compatibility with adjoining developments or zoning districts;
however, no structure or parking area shall be permitted within twenty-five
(25) feet of any property line adjoining a residential district. Any
structure exceeding forty-five (45) feet in height which adjoins property
in a residential district shall maintain a setback from such property
line, in addition to the minimum twenty-five (25) feet, a distance
of two (2) feet for each additional one (1) foot in height over forty-five
(45) feet; additional setback distance may be imposed if deemed necessary
or beneficial by the board of aldermen to protect the general welfare.
(c)
Landscape Buffers and Screening of Outdoor Storage Areas.
(1)
A landscape buffer of twenty (20) feet shall be established
and maintained adjacent and parallel to all Missouri Highway and Transportation
Department rights-of-way. Landscaping areas in front of buildings
and in parking lot islands may substitute for up to one-half (½)
of the required landscape buffer. The landscape buffer areas shall
contain evergreen or ornamental trees and shrubs approved by the City.
Outdoor display areas shall not encroach into the landscape buffer.
Landscape buffers consistent with the topographic and aesthetic needs
of each City and private roadway shall also be established and maintained
along City of Eureka rights-of-way or private road easement. As approved
by the City and the Missouri Department of Transportation, landscape
buffers required under this Section may be located in whole or in
part in State rights-of-way. The Board of Aldermen may approve certain
exceptions and/or adjustments to the landscape buffer requirements
under this Section based on practical difficulties including topography
or existing site improvements or structures.
(2)
Outdoor storage areas shall be screened from public view through
use of earth berms, fencing, or landscaping, or a combination thereof.
Fencing and landscaping used for screening of outdoor storage areas
shall be decorative in nature and maintained in an acceptable manner.
Decorative fences do not include chain link fences, with or without
slats. Outdoor storage areas shall have a minimum surface covering
of six (6) inches of rolled gravel. An applicant may propose on a
site-specific basis, outdoor storage area fencing of alternate materials
and/or configurations including chain-link fencing, which may be considered
for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Aldermen
based on criteria including, but not limited to, the proposed use
of the subject property, adjacent uses, and adjacent zoning districts.
Any authority relating to the use of alternate fence materials and/or
configurations may include conditions of approval. If such authority
is granted, it shall be subject to review and possible revocation
upon changes in ownership and/or use. An exception to the outdoor
storage area screening requirement may be authorized by the Board
of Aldermen upon the applicant evidencing extraordinary circumstances
based on factors such as topography, relative elevation or term of
the intended use.
[Ord. No. 2648, 4-5-2022]
(3)
A site plan illustrating the landscape buffers and screening
of outdoor storage areas shall be submitted to the Building Commissioner,

which shows all property lines, buildings, storage areas, easements,
roadways, and existing trees, in addition to proposed screening materials.
For purposes of meeting presentations, site plans may be submitted
drawn to a scale of one (1) inch equals two hundred (200) feet. The
site plan shall be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission
with a recommendation sent to the Board of Aldermen for final review
and approval.
