[Ord. No. B05-22, 3-21-2022]
A. In
the event a landowner — who owns one (1) or two (2) lots under
common ownership and part of one (1) lot is located in the City of
Glendale, Missouri, and part of one (1) lot is located in the City
of Oakland, Missouri (hereinafter the “Cities”), and such
lots have been maintained by the landowner, or a prior landowner,
as a single-family residential property for a period of at least ten
(10) years — desires to build or expand a single-family residential
dwelling unit on one (1) or two (2) lots located partially in Glendale
and partially in Oakland, the following shall apply:
1. The eleven (11) such lots shall be designated as a “Special
Residential Zoning Overlay District” (“SRZD”) on
the Zoning maps of Glendale and Oakland, Missouri, and shall be subject
to the regulations created herein, which shall be known in each City
as the “SRZD District” regulations. The base zoning district,
"R-4C" in Oakland, and "R-1" in Glendale shall not change, but the
regulations of the "SRZD" District, to the extent they conflict with
the base zoning districts, shall supersede or supplement, as applicable,
the regulations of the base zoning district(s) in Oakland and Glendale,
but the base zoning districts shall otherwise remain in full force
and effect. All property in the "SRZD" overlay district shall be used
and developed or improved in conformity with the overlay and base
district requirements that do not conflict with the overlay district
regulations.
2. Lots within the "SRZD" District shall be considered to be single-family
residential uses pursuant to the applicable Municipal Zoning Code
Sections in each of the Cities;
3. Any existing single-family residential dwelling unit must have been
constructed on a lot that either shares a common border between the
Cities, or is partially located in Glendale and partially located
in Oakland for at least ten (10) consecutive years immediately preceding
a building permit application; and
4. The landowner of lots within the "SRZD" District must notify each
City, in writing, of the desire to expand or build a single-family
residential dwelling unit on a lot or lots located within the "SRZD"
District in order to proceed with the zoning consolidation process
set out in this Section.
5. The zoning consolidation process as referred to herein shall be for
zoning purposes only, and shall not alter or affect the tax identification
numbers of any lot located within the "SRZD" District for taxation
purposes by the Assessor’s and Collector’s offices of
St. Louis County, and the landowner shall not be required to record
the lot consolidation with the Recorder of Deeds of St. Louis County,
but only with the City Clerk of each City.
B. The
Cities shall each deem lots within the "SRZD" District as developable
for single-family residential uses and the existing rear or side yard
setbacks in each City’s Zoning Code shall not be based on the
common boundary line between the Cities, but shall be regulated as
set forth herein.
C. By
and through a Cooperation Agreement between the Cities, the City within
which a majority of a lot or lots (when combined for the zoning purposes
of this Section) is located within the "SRZD" District shall be the
sole governmental entity responsible for issuing appropriate zoning,
building and Architectural Review Board (“ARB”) permits,
as applicable and except as set forth below regarding construction
in rear yards, with respect to any proposed new single-family residence
construction or expansion, and such dwellings shall be built or expanded
in accordance with that City’s zoning, building and ARB codes,
as applicable except as set forth below regarding construction in
rear yards; provided, however, that the rear yard setback shall in
no event be less than thirty (30) feet and side yard setbacks shall
be not less than the greater of six (6) feet or ten percent (10%)
of the lot width, unless a variance to such rear yard or side yard
setback is granted by both Cities’ Boards of Adjustment.
D. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary above, any and all permits required for any
demolition or construction of any stormwater systems or parts of systems,
accessory structures or parts of such structures (including, but not
limited to detached garages), decks, fences, swimming pools and flatwork
in the rear yard, or part of a rear yard, of a lot consolidated for
purposes of this Section under the "SRZD" District rules shall be
issued by the City in which the rear yard or impacted part of the
rear yard is located.
