[Added by Ord. No. 2018-3, eff. 8-26-2018]
(a)
The MP Macatawa Park Overlay District is designed to promote the
health, safety, and general welfare of the Township through the following
goals and objectives:
(1)
Limit densities that would compromise safe access by emergency
vehicles, unnecessarily increase fire loads, and restrict the ability
to provide adequate emergency service.
(2)
Improve access on roads by lessening congestion.
(3)
Provide for the safe movement of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
(4)
Protect woodlands, dune areas, and areas adjacent to Lake Macatawa
and Lake Michigan, and other environmentally sensitive areas from
overdevelopment.
(5)
Limit site improvements to blend with the existing topographic
character of the earth.
(6)
Allow for the modernization of existing single-family and two-family
dwellings.
(7)
Maintain stable single-family and two-family neighborhoods within
Macatawa Park.
(a)
The Macatawa Park Overlay District does not replace or restrict the range of uses allowed in the underlying zoning districts but provides additional development standards that must be met for any lot located partially or completely within the Macatawa Park Overlay District identified on the Zoning Map, which includes the lots listed within Section 38-322 of this chapter.
(b)
Where the standards of the Macatawa Park Overlay District are less
restrictive or more restrictive than the underlying zoning district
or any other provision of this chapter, as determined by the Zoning
Administrator, the standards of the Macatawa Park Overlay District
shall apply. Where the standards of the Macatawa Park Overlay District
are silent, the general regulations and restrictions of this chapter,
including, but not limited to, the underlying zoning district, shall
control. No new planned unit developments within the Macatawa Park
Overlay District shall be permitted.
(c)
Permitted and special uses within the Macatawa Park Overlay District
shall be regulated in the underlying zoning district subject to the
following additional provisions:
(1)
Improved lot. A lot containing a single-family dwelling or a
two-family dwelling shall comply with the following:
a.
Front yard averaging. The required front yard of the principal
building may be reduced to 75% of the average depth of at least three
front yards of existing principal buildings on lots within 300 feet
of the lot in question and within the same block and within the same
underlying zoning district; provided, however, if there are fewer
than three such principal buildings within 300 feet of the lot in
question, then the 300-foot distance shall be extended to the distance
necessary to utilize a minimum of three such principal buildings for
the purpose of determining the average depth, as established by a
licensed surveyor or the Zoning Administrator.
b.
Side yard averaging. The required side yard of the principal
building may be reduced to 75% of the average depth of at least three
side yards of existing principal buildings on lots within 300 feet
of the lot in question and within the same block and within the same
underlying zoning district; provided, however, if there are fewer
than three such principal buildings within 300 feet of the lot in
question, then the 300-foot distance shall be extended to the distance
necessary to utilize a minimum of three such principal buildings for
the purpose of determining the average depth, as established by a
licensed surveyor or the Zoning Administrator.
c.
Rear yard averaging. The required rear yard of the principal
building may be reduced to 75% of the average depth of at least three
rear yards of existing principal buildings on lots within 300 feet
of the lot in question and within the same block and within the same
underlying zoning district; provided, however, if there are fewer
than three such principal buildings within 300 feet of the lot in
question, then the 300-foot distance shall be extended to the distance
necessary to utilize a minimum of three such principal buildings for
the purpose of determining the average depth, as established by a
licensed surveyor or the Zoning Administrator.
d.
Mitigation. Any improved lot subject to a building permit that
reduces the front yard to less than five feet or increases the building
area within five feet of the street right-of-way shall provide means
to mitigate hazards for vehicular and pedestrian traffic within the
adjacent street to the satisfaction of the Zoning Administrator, who
shall confer with the appropriate expert(s) regarding the proposed
means to mitigate hazards, including, but not necessarily limited
to, the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department, the Township Fire Chief,
the Township Planner, the Township Attorney, or any other Township
staff or consultant qualified to assess hazard mitigation. Alternatively,
a professional study or studies containing evidence that mitigation
is impossible shall be provided.
e.
Automatic fire extinguishing system. Pursuant to Section 901.4.4
of the International Fire Code, as amended, because special hazards
exist in addition to the normal hazards of occupancy, and access for
fire apparatus is unduly difficult, the Park Township Fire Chief may
require an automatic fire extinguishing system be installed within
any single-family dwelling or two-family dwelling subject to a building
permit.
f.
Parking area. Any improved lot subject to a building permit shall provide an on-site parking area meeting the minimum number of parking spaces and the minimum dimensions for each parking space pursuant to Section 38-601 of this chapter. Alternatively, off-site parking or a combination of on-site parking and off-site parking, when located entirely within MP Overlay District, may be provided. In addition, for each 600 square feet of principal building floor area beyond the first 1,800 square feet of principal building floor area, one additional parking space shall be required.
g.
Preexisting principal building and reconstruction. All setbacks for a principal building in existence prior to the adoption of this chapter shall be considered conforming. Any principal building destroyed by fire, wind, act of God, public enemy, or any other means not self-inflicted may be rebuilt and restored to its former building footprint. Reconstruction of a preexisting principal building is subject to Section 38-321(c)(1)f of this division.
(2)
Unimproved lot. A lot vacant of a principal building, accessory
structure or combination thereof shall comply with the following:
a.
New construction. No new principal building shall be constructed
on an unimproved or vacant lot unless the lot meets the minimum lot
area and the minimum lot width of the underlying zoning district.
b.
Front yard averaging. The required front yard of the principal
building may be reduced to 75% of the average depth of at least three
front yards of existing principal buildings on lots within 300 feet
of the lot in question and within the same block and within the same
underlying zoning district; provided, however, if there are fewer
than three such principal buildings within 300 feet of the lot in
question, then the distance 300-foot distance shall be extended to
the distance necessary to utilize a minimum of three such principal
buildings for the purpose of determining the average depth, as established
by a licensed surveyor or the Zoning Administrator.
c.
Side yard averaging. The required side yard of the principal
building may be reduced to 75% of the average depth of at least three
side yards of existing principal buildings on lots within 300 feet
of the lot in question and within the same block and within the same
underlying zoning district; provided, however, if there are fewer
than three such principal buildings within 300 feet of the lot in
question, then the 300-foot distance shall be extended to the distance
necessary to utilize a minimum of three such principal buildings for
the purpose of determining the average depth, as established by a
licensed surveyor or the Zoning Administrator.
d.
Rear yard averaging. The required rear yard of the principal
building may be reduced to 75% of the average depth of at least three
rear yards of existing principal buildings on lots within 300 feet
of the lot in question and within the same block and within the same
underlying zoning district; provided, however, if there are fewer
than three such principal buildings within 300 feet of the lot in
question, then the 300-foot distance shall be extended to the distance
necessary to utilize a minimum of three such principal buildings for
the purpose of determining the average depth, as established by a
licensed surveyor or the Zoning Administrator.
e.
Building footprint. The building footprint shall include all
foundation walls and any cantilevered building faces together with
any attached accessory buildings, but excluding decks and patios of
30 inches or less in height.
f.
Automatic fire extinguishing system. Pursuant to Section 901.4.4
of the International Fire Code, as amended, because special hazards
exist in addition to the normal hazards of occupancy, and access for
fire apparatus is unduly difficult, the Park Township Fire Chief may
require an automatic fire extinguishing system be installed within
the entirety of any new single-family dwelling or two-family dwelling.
g.
Parking area. Any unimproved lot subject to a building permit shall provide an on-site parking area meeting the minimum number of parking spaces and the minimum dimensions for each parking space pursuant to Section 38-601 of this chapter.
