Rationale: This district is used to provide for the protection
of agricultural activities and a very low-density residential area
for those who want to live in a rural environment and who retain enough
land with their residence to ensure that the rural environment is
maintained as long as the Rural Holding (RH) District designation
is retained. In this manner, even if all property were developed in
a given area with the Rural Holding (RH) District designation, the
rural community character of that area would still be maintained.
|
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the permanent
protection of a very-low-density residential area for those who want
to live in a countryside environment and retain enough land with their
residence or in their development to ensure that the countryside character
is maintained as long as the CR-10ac District designation is retained,
regardless of how much development occurs within that area.
|
Rationale: This district provides for the permanent protection
of a low-density residential area for those who want to live in an
estate environment and retain enough land with their residence or
in their development to ensure that the estate community character
is maintained as long as the ER-1 District designation is retained,
regardless of how much development occurs within that area.
|
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the permanent
protection of a moderate-density residential area for those who want
to live in a suburban residential environment and who retain enough
land with their residence or in their development to ensure that the
community character is maintained as long as the SR-4 District designation
is retained, regardless of how much development occurs within that
area.
|
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the permanent
protection of an area for those who want to live in a moderate-density
residential environment and who retain enough land with their residence
or in their development to ensure that the desired community character
is maintained as long as the TR-6 District designation is retained,
regardless of how much development occurs within that area. As such,
this district is intended to provide the principal location for a
wide range of single-family attached dwelling types, including single-family,
duplexes, twin houses and two-flats.
|
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the permanent
protection of an area for those who want to live in a higher-density
residential environment and who retain enough land with their residence
or in their development to ensure that the urban community character
is maintained as long as the MR-8 District designation is retained,
regardless of how much development occurs within that area. As such,
it is intended to provide the principal location for mixed residential
development.
|
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the permanent
protection of an area for those who want to live in a higher-density
residential environment and who retain enough land with their residence
or in their development to ensure that the urban community character
is maintained as long as the MR-10 District designation is retained,
regardless of how much development occurs within that area. As such,
it is intended to provide the principal location for mixed residential
development.
|
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the construction
of multiple-unit developments intended for use as housing for elderly
persons or elderly households, defined as 55 years or older, in a
higher-density setting in areas containing adequate public utilities,
public services and community facilities with the specific needs of
the elderly in mind. As such, it is intended to provide the principal
location for institutional residential development.
|
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the permanent
protection of an area which preserves the original residential appearance
yet permits office and institutional land uses, and which ensures
that the neighborhood character is maintained as long as the NO District
designation is retained, regardless of how much development occurs
within that area.
|
Rationale: This district is used to provide for the permanent
protection of an area for those who desire a high-quality office environment
which maintains the attractiveness of the site and retains enough
open land in its development to ensure that the community character
is maintained as long as the PO District designation is retained,
regardless of how much development occurs within that area.
|
Rationale: This district is used to provide both convenience-oriented
goods and services and for the permanent protection of adjacent residential
areas by permitting only a limited range of commercial activities.
Together, these requirements ensure that the desired character is
maintained as long as the NB District designation is retained, regardless
of how much development occurs within the area.
|
Rationale: This district is intended to provide the principal
zoning district for commercial development occurring after the adoption
of this chapter. The standards of this district are designed to provide
a clear distinction from the General Business and Central Business
Districts in terms of permitted intensity of development, treatment
of outdoor sales, and required green space areas. The desired suburban
community character of the development is attained through the landscape
surface area ratio (LSR) requirements. Together, these requirements
ensure that the desired community character is maintained as long
as the Planned Business District designation is retained, regardless
of how much development occurs within that area.
|
Rationale: This district is intended to provide an alternative,
primarily infill development, designation for commercial activity
to the Planned Business District. Performance standards for the General
Business District are designed to ensure the long-term economic health
of strip commercial development areas existing as of the effective
date of this chapter by limiting the attraction of the Planned Business
District to those uses which can afford the relatively higher development
costs and rents associated with development in that district.
[Amended 10-4-2016 by Ord. No. 16-18; 12-20-2016 by Ord. No. 16-24] |
Rationale: This district is intended to provide an alternative,
primarily infill development, designation for commercial activity
to the Planned Business (PB) and General Business District and is
designed to assist in maintaining the long-term viability of the central
City.
|
Rationale: This district is intended to provide a location for suburban-intensity light industrial land uses, such as assembly operations, storage and warehousing facilities, offices and light manufacturing, which are protected from potential nuisances associated with certain development permitted within the GI District. In addition, land uses shall comply with the minimum performance standards presented in Article XI.
|
Rationale: This district is intended to provide a location for urban-intensity light industrial land uses, such as assembly operations, storage and warehousing facilities, offices and light manufacturing, which are protected from potential nuisances associated with certain development permitted within the HI District. In addition, uses shall comply with the minimum performance standards presented in Article XI.
|
Rationale: This district is intended to provide a location for both light and heavy industrial uses in a zoning district in which the potential for nuisance complaints from nearby properties is minimized. It must be emphasized that this is not a district where virtually any land use is permitted, as all uses shall comply with the minimum performance standards presented in Article XI. In addition, certain land uses, such as junkyards and salvage operations and freight terminals, are permitted within this district only upon the granting of a conditional use permit.
