Requests for amendments to existing planned district ordinances
in the C8 or M3 district, or other special procedures, such as obtaining
a conditional use permit or LPA status, are permitted. However, additional
or new parcels of land are prohibited from zoning to either of these
districts.

B.ย
Overlay Districts And Special Procedures. An overlay district
or special procedure is an additional zoning requirement that is placed
on a geographic area but does not change the zoning of the site. These
zoning tools may add additional restrictions or provide certain incentives
in specific geographic areas or for land with specific physical features
or characteristics. The purpose of using an overlay district or special
procedure is to address certain community interests, such as historic
preservation or protection of environmentally sensitive areas. Requests
for an overlay district or special procedure may only be sought for
land zoned to one of the districts listed in Table A-1 above. Overlay
districts and special procedures found in the City of Chesterfield
are as listed in Table B-1 below:

District Boundaries. The boundaries of these districts are hereby
established as shown on the City of Chesterfield Zoning Map consisting
of a series of maps at a scale of one (1) inch equals two hundred
(200) feet, as adopted by Ordinance No. 624 (1991), together with
all subsequent amendments thereto. All district classifications, however,
need not appear on the Zoning Map at one time. Official copies of
said map shall be maintained in the Director of Planning (the Department)
and shall be public records. All subsequent amendments to the zoning
maps shall be designated on said official copies. The Planning Commission
may, at its discretion, cause the City of Chesterfield Zoning Map
and its official copies thereof to be photographed, microphotographed,
photostated or reproduced on file, which maps when so reproduced shall
be deemed to be an original record for all purposes.
D.ย
Inactive Districts And Inactive Special Procedures List. Table C-1 provides a list of zoning district categories and special procedures which are inactive. While parcels do exist within the City of Chesterfield which are zoned to these districts or which have one of these special procedures applied to it, any changes, modifications, or amendments to any of these districts or special procedures is prohibited, except as described in Section
405.03.020(A) of this Article. Any site-specific ordinance establishing any of these districts or procedures on any given parcel enacted prior to the passage date of this UDC is still valid. See City of Chesterfield Zoning Ordinance dated November 17, 1997, for specific information on any inactive district or procedure.

F.ย
Interpretation And Extension Of District Boundaries.
1.ย
The Board of Adjustment shall interpret the provisions of this
Section of the UDC in accordance with the City of Chesterfield ordinances.
Any area within the geographical boundaries which is added to or becomes
a part of the City of Chesterfield shall be designated the appropriate
zoning district upon review of the existing land use conditions and
Comprehensive Plan.
2.ย
In the event that a zoning district boundary line is shown on
a zoning district map as following a property line or a political
boundary line, the actual location of such zoning district boundary
line shall govern, as determined by survey, rather than the representation
for the location of said boundary line on the district map, if there
is a discrepancy between the two (2) locations.
3.ย
Zoning district boundary lines shall be construed to either
follow the center lines of railroad, street, or highway rights-of-way,
track or lot lines, or such lines extended, unless otherwise indicated.
G.ย
Use Regulations Applicable To All Districts.
1.ย
The use and development of land and structures within any zoning
district are limited to those uses set forth in the Use Tables by
Zoning District provided in this UDC.
2.ย
Permitted uses are those uses which are permitted by right in
any straight zoning district or are permitted through a special procedure
or zoning procedure in any planned district or overlay.
3.ย
Conditional uses are those uses which are permitted with a conditional
use permit as listed and described throughout this Article of the
UDC in the district in which the parcel of land is located.
4.ย
Accessory And Ancillary Uses. In addition to the permitted and
conditional uses expressly permitted in the Use Tables at the end
of this Article, each zoning district shall be deemed to include accessory
and ancillary uses.
a.ย Accessory uses are those uses that are incidental to and customarily found in connection with the principal use on the site. An accessory use must be conducted on the same zoning lot as the principal use to which it is related and does not occupy the majority of the space in the building or structure. Accessory buildings, structures and uses are permitted in conjunction with a permitted land use or development or (unless restricted by applicable condition) a conditional land use or development when such accessory building, structure or use is customarily found in conjunction with the primary use, or is a reasonably necessary incident to the primary use and is clearly subordinate to the primary use, and serves only to further the successful utilization of the primary use. It shall be the responsibility of the Director of Planning to determine if a requested accessory use meets the definition and criteria of an accessory use as described above. Determinations of the Director of Planning may be subject to appeal as described in Section
405.02.190 of this UDC.
b.ย Ancillary uses are accessory uses which do not have separate signage or separate access within the structure containing the principal use on the site. Ancillary uses are not open to the general public, but serve the guests, patrons, or individuals who are served by the primary use on the site. In addition, ancillary uses do not occupy the majority of the space in the building or structure. It shall be the responsibility of the Director of Planning to determine if a requested ancillary use meets the definition and criteria of an ancillary use as described above. Determinations of the Director of Planning may be subject to appeal as described in Section
405.02.190 of this UDC.

have a minimum platform of four (4) feet of ground immediately adjacent
to the edge of pavement which drains perpendicular and toward the
pavement. Said platform shall be constructed at a grade of not less
than two percent (2%) perpendicular to the pavement, except in areas
adjacent to a storm sewer, where there must be a platform of not less
than seven (7) feet from the edge of pavement at a grade not in excess
of two percent (2%). For the purposes of this requirement, "adjacent
to a storm sewer" shall mean within ten (10) feet, measured along
the curb, of a storm sewer intake.
(2)ย Open swales, as opposed to enclosed systems, shall
be permitted where appropriate as determined by the Department.

UC Urban Core District.
[Ord. No. 2830 ยงย 1, 1-21-2015]
1.ย
Purpose. The UC Urban Core District is intended to provide a
method for commercial or mixed commercial and residential development
within the area known as the "Urban Core." The regulations for the
UC District offer a method that allows flexibility in applying certain
zoning standards. Such flexibility requires a review process and development
plan to safeguard health, safety, and welfare concerns. In exchange
for flexibility, UC Districts are required to provide exceptional
design and amenities not otherwise required through traditional zoning
techniques. These requirements are designed to offset the impact of
changes in development standards allowed through these provisions.
The UC District allows innovative designs, solves problems on difficult
sites, meets market niches, encourages pedestrian access and connectivity
between developments, and promotes well-designed developments. The
UC District regulations should have the following outcomes:
a.ย Implement the vision of the area of the City identified
as the Urban Core in the Comprehensive Plan;
b.ย Promote pedestrian access, connectivity and facilities
between sites, between developments and to public facilities through
inclusion of a variety of site and building design features, such
as continuous pedestrian walkways between buildings and from parking
areas, trails, bicycle paths, covered walkways between buildings,
widened sidewalks at the entrance to commercial and office structures,
bicycle parking and continuous walkways through parking areas to buildings
within the development.
c.ย Allow flexibility that is not available through
standards and restrictions contained elsewhere in the Zoning Ordinance;
d.ย Promote more efficient use of land;
e.ย Incorporate site features, such as topography, views,
vegetation, water features, and other factors into the design so they
become assets to the development;
f.ย Promote building styles and architectural styles
that complement one another;
g.ย Allow a mix of uses that is designed to negate potential
conflicts that normally occur between incompatible land uses;
h.ย Promote the most efficient arrangement of circulation
systems, land use, and buildings;
i.ย Promote environmentally sensitive developments;
and
j.ย Allow development, under a specifically approved
design concept and site plan, which otherwise may not be permitted
by the Zoning Ordinance.
2.ย
Scope Of Provisions. This Section contains the regulations of
the UC District. These regulations are supplemented and qualified
by additional general regulations appearing elsewhere in the UDC.
Additional conditions may be established in the planned district ordinance
authorizing the establishment of a UC District.
3.ย
Where the City Council determines that any particular tracts
or areas should be developed for commercial use, a UC District may
be established on a tract of land in single ownership or single management
control, provided that:
a.ย The preliminary development plan and the application
for change of zoning are approved by the City Council; and
b.ย A site development plan is approved by the Planning
Commission and recorded in compliance with requirements of this Section.
4.ย
Minimum Standards Of Design. In addition to the development
standards and district requirements in Article 04 of this UDC, the
following performance standards are applicable to the UC District:
a.ย Uses. Permitted land uses shall be established in the conditions of the ordinance governing the particular UC District. Uses may include those uses designated as permitted or conditional uses in any commercial or residential district listed in Table A-1 of Section
405.03.020(A) of this Article.
(1)ย Uses requiring an adult entertainment area permit
are not permitted.
(2)ย Light industrial type uses which are permitted
in limited areas within a PC District are not permitted in the UC
District.
b.ย In order to promote reasonable and orderly development
within the City of Chesterfield, the following standards shall be
considered by the Planning Commission and City Council in consideration
for a change in zoning to the UC District. These standards are minimum
requirements and may be made more restrictive in the conditions of
the planned district ordinance governing the particular UC District.
(1)ย Lot Area. The minimum lot area for this district
is three (3) acres.
(2)ย Density. A maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of fifty-five
hundredths (0.55) is allowed.
(3)ย Height. The total height of any structure shall
not exceed eight (8) stories in height, excluding mechanical devices.
(4)ย Open Space. A minimum open space of thirty percent
(30%) is required. Open space should be integrated into the development
to provide aesthetic, recreational, or other public benefit. Covered
pedestrian walkways and bridges may be counted towards the open space
requirement of thirty percent (30%).
(5)ย Setbacks.
(a)ย The minimum yard setback for any structure from
the boundary of a UC District shall be thirty-five (35) feet.
(b)ย The minimum yard setback for any parking area,
parking structure, internal drive or loading space shall be thirty
(30) feet.
5.ย
Site Design Features And Flexibility. Any design features approved
under this Section shall be assured and implemented through inclusion
in the planned district ordinance. This ordinance shall be approved
concurrently with the change in zoning to the UC District.
a.ย While these features are not mandatory for approval,
they are desirable to the City of Chesterfield and may increase the
flexibility of design and the ability of the developer to negotiate
the mitigation of other requirements:
(1)ย Incorporation of parking areas into the design
of the development to minimize visual expanses of parking lots;
(2)ย Placement of structures on most suitable sites
with consideration of topography, soils, vegetation, slope, etc.;

and increased planting along residential properties, public rights-of-way,
open space/recreational areas, and the overall perimeter of the project;
(5)ย Utilization of mixed use buildings;
(6)ย Segregation of vehicular traffic from pedestrian/bicycle
circulation networks, and other traffic mitigation measures;
(7)ย Promotion of pedestrian access and connectivity
throughout the development as well as between sites and developments
and to public and community facilities;
(8)ย Incorporation of transit oriented development or
direct access to public transportation;
(9)ย Utilization of Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) construction and development standards and the proposed
LEED certification of buildings;
(10)ย Public benefits and community facilities and the
access thereto; and
(11)ย Sensitive treatment of perimeters to mitigate
impact upon adjoining property.
6.ย
The procedure for zoning to the UC District and site development
plan approval is established in Article 02 of this UDC.
I.ย
MXD Mixed Use District.
1.ย
Purpose. The MXD Mixed Use District is intended to provide a
zoning classification which permits developments with a mixture of
residential, commercial, industrial, cultural, and institutional uses
in a single structure or multiple structures. It is the purpose of
these regulations to encourage a diversification of uses in unified
projects located in proximity to major roadways and intersections
and through the interrelationship of uses and structures to promote
innovative and energy-conscious design, efficient and effective circulation
systems, a variety of housing types, and to encourage the conservation
of land resources, minimization of auto travel, and the location of
employment and retail centers in proximity to higher-density housing.
2.ย
Scope Of Provisions. This Section contains the regulations of
the MXD District. These regulations are supplemented and qualified
by additional general regulations appearing elsewhere in the UDC.
Additional conditions may be established in the planned district ordinance
authorizing the establishment of a MXD District.
3.ย
Minimum Standards Of Design. In addition to the development
standards and district requirements in Article 04 of this UDC, the
following performance standards are applicable to the MXD District:
a.ย Uses. Permitted land uses shall be established in the conditions of the ordinance governing the particular MXD District. Uses may include those uses designated as permitted or conditional uses in any residential, commercial, or industrial districts listed in Table A-1 of Section
405.03.020 of this Article.
(1)ย Each mixed use development district shall include
a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the total gross floor area in
residential uses, twenty percent (20%) of the total gross floor area
in retail commercial uses, and twenty percent (20%) of the total gross
floor area in office or industrial uses. Gross floor area used for
parking shall not be included in the above calculations.
(2)ย Gross floor area of hotels may be used for up to
fifty percent (50%) of the required floor area for residential uses.
Gross floor area devoted to institutional, cultural, entertainment,
or recreational uses may be used, on a one-to-one basis, to reduce
the required minimum floor area of any of the three (3) main use categories
up to a maximum reduction of twenty-five percent (25%).
(3)ย In addition to this approach where residential
development in a proposed MXD District is greater than fifty-one percent
(51%) of the total gross floor area, the remainder of the development
may consist of commercial uses or industrial uses or both without
limitation as to percentages of gross floor area.
(4)ย Uses requiring an adult entertainment area permit
are not permitted.
b.ย Residential density. Residential densities shall
be established in the conditions of the planned district ordinance
creating the MXD District, but in no event shall the density exceed
sixty (60) units per acre of land in the total development, excluding
land which is utilized for road right-of-way purposes, and excluding
right-of-way dedication for widening existing roadways, and including
land remaining within the 100-year floodplain elevation, as identified
in Article 05. This density restriction, however, shall not apply
to hotels.
c.ย No parking areas, internal drives, loading spaces,
and structures shall be permitted within ten (10) feet of a property
line adjoining property in the NU Non-Urban, PS Park and Scenic, AG
Agricultural or any residential district. In addition to the minimum
ten (10) feet, any structure exceeding thirty (30) feet in height
which adjoins property in the NU Non-Urban, PS Park and Scenic, AG
Agricultural or any residential district shall be set back an additional
one (1) foot for every two (2) feet in height above thirty (30) feet.
Greater setbacks may be required by condition if necessary to ensure
compatibility with adjoining developments or uses.
d.ย A sign package is required for all developments
in the MXD District.
e.ย The Planning Commission may recommend, and the City
Council may approve, a total reduction of not more than twenty percent
(20%), or thirty percent (30%) for developments greater than five
hundred thousand (500,000) square feet of gross floor area under single
ownership or management control, of the required off-street parking
and loading spaces, where it has been demonstrated by study of the
combined uses and customary operation of the uses that adequate parking
would be provided. The Planning Commission may recommend a further
parking reduction beyond thirty percent (30%) for developments greater
than seven hundred fifty thousand (750,000) square feet of gross floor
area under single ownership or management control based upon a similar
approved study as above.
f.ย Other conditions, such as building height, open
space, setbacks and minimum lot area, shall be established in the
planned district ordinance.
(1)ย Open space. A minimum common open space of thirty
percent (30%) is required. Open space should be integrated into the
development to provide aesthetic, recreational, or other public benefit.
(2)ย Setbacks.

J.ย
PC&R Planned Commercial and Residential District.
1.ย
Purpose. The PC&R District is intended to provide development
in the area of the City comprising a minimum of seventy (70) acres
in size and located only in the area bounded on the east by State
Route 340, on the west by Baxter Road, on the north by State Route
40/I-64, and on the south by Lydia Hill Drive/August Hill Drive. A
PC&R District development is intended to create a diverse residential
and commercial mixed use environment in which residential and commercial
uses can be integrated pursuant to a downtown concept that encourages
creative and coordinated design and architectural styles, efficient
and effective pedestrian circulation, conservation of land resources,
efficient and effective vehicular circulation, and where people can
choose to live, work, eat, shop, enjoy cultural amenities and recreate.
By definition, "downtown development" is mixed use, and usually follows
one (1) of two (2) patterns (or an adaptation of both). First, as
a vertical mix on a given parcel, land uses change from floor to floor
within the same building. Typically, this pattern is residential above
commercial (retail, professional services or office). The second pattern
occurs when buildings or spaces of a single use are combined with
those of other single uses. Examples are a street of residential buildings
with commercial buildings occupying the corners or a commercial Main
Street combined with residential side streets.
2.ย
Scope Of Provisions. This Section contains the regulations of
the PC&R District. These regulations are supplemented and qualified
by additional general regulations appearing elsewhere in the UDC.
Additional conditions may be established in the planned district ordinance
authorizing the establishment of a PC&R District.
3.ย
Where the City Council determines that any particular tracts
or areas should be developed for commercial use, a PC&R District
may be established on a tract of land in single ownership or single
management control, provided that:
a.ย The preliminary development plan and the application
for change of zoning are approved by the City Council; and
b.ย A site development plan is approved by the Planning
Commission and recorded in compliance with requirements of this Section.
4.ย
Minimum Standards Of Design. In addition to the development
standards and district requirements in Article 04 of this UDC, the
following performance standards are applicable to the PC&R District:
a.ย Uses. Permitted uses shall be established in the site-specific PC&R District ordinance governing a PC&R development and may include commercial uses permitted in the Planned Commercial (PC) District or any of the residential uses in any of the residential districts listed in Table A-1 in Section
405.03.020 of this Article.
(1)ย Residential and commercial uses may be combined
in the same building, combined on the same lot in separate buildings
or on separate lots within a PC&R development. The permitted uses
shall be combined within a PC&R development to create a downtown
concept.
(2)ย Uses which require an adult entertainment area
permit are not permitted.
b.ย Performance standards for the PC&R District
are provided in the UDC for the PC (Commercial) and R (Residential)
land uses. Conflicts between the commercial and residential performance
standards shall be resolved in the planned district ordinance for
the PC&R District, site development plan, site development concept
plan, or site development section plan.
(1)ย Specific performance standards may be provided
in the planned district ordinance for the PC&R District or provided
on the site development plan, site development concept plan, or site
development section plan.
(2)ย Said performance standards may supplement, modify,
or alter performance standards provided elsewhere in the UDC.
(3)ย Except where specifically stated otherwise in this
Section, performance standards established in the planned district
ordinance for the PC&R District or provided on the site development
plan, site development concept plan, or site development section plan
for a PC&R development shall supersede any performance standards
required by any other district regulation or UDC.
(4)ย Performance standards may include, but are not
limited to, addressing one or more of the following:
(b)ย Maximum height of buildings and structures.

A.ย
FP Floodplain Overlay District.
1.ย
Purpose. The flood hazard areas of Chesterfield, Missouri, are
subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property,
health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental
services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and
relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect
the public health, safety, and general welfare. These flood losses
are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains
causing increases in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy
of flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous to
other lands which are inadequately elevated, floodproofed, or otherwise
protected from flood damages.
2.ย
This Section is therefore necessary to protect human life and
health; to minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control
projects; to minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated
with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general
public; to minimize prolonged business interruptions; to minimize
damage to public facilities and utilities, such as water and gas mains,
electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges, located
in floodplains; and to help maintain a stable tax base by providing
for the sound use and development of flood-prone areas in such a manner
as to minimize future flood blight areas.
3.ย
It is the purpose of this Section to promote the public health,
safety, and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses
due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to
restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and
property due to water or erosion or flood heights or velocities; to
require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which
serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of
initial construction; to control the alteration of natural floodplains,
stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which are involved
in the accommodation of floodwaters; and to control filling, grading,
dredging, and other development which may increase erosion or flood
damage.
4.ย
Scope Of Provisions. This Section contains the regulations for
the FP Floodplain Overlay District of Chesterfield. Property zoned
FP is also zoned under another applicable district governed by this
UDC. The FP Overlay District constitutes an overlay district, and
the other applicable zoning district constitutes the underlying zoning.
a.ย The FP Overlay District regulations and requirements
herein control in the case of any conflict between the regulations
contained in this Section and the regulations otherwise applicable
to any property by virtue of its underlying zoning.
b.ย A portion of the area within this district is designated
as the floodway, as established by the maps applicable to this district.
Property within the floodway is subject to those provisions of this
UDC which so state.
5.ย
Minimum Standards Of Design. In addition to the development
standards and district requirements in Article 04 and Article 05 of
this UDC, the following performance standards are applicable to the
FP Overlay District:
a.ย Uses. Permitted and conditional uses for the FP Overlay District are found in Section
405.03.080 of this Article. In addition:
(1)ย Public utility facilities, provided that any installation,
other than poles and equipment attached to the poles, shall be adequately

AEA Adult Entertainment Area Procedure.
1.ย
Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to provide for regulation
of adult entertainment establishments and businesses in order to insure
that their secondary uses will not contribute to the blighting of
surrounding areas and to insure stability of said areas.
2.ย
Scope Of Provisions. Adult entertainment uses and establishments may only be established in a PC or PI District with approval of an AEA adult entertainment area. See Section
405.02.040 of this UDC for information pertaining to the development review process.
3.ย
The regulations herein have three (3) major intentions:
a.ย To provide for the confinement of adult entertainment
establishments and businesses to those areas in the City in which
the special impacts mentioned are judged to be least disruptive to
the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties.
b.ย To require that adult entertainment establishments
and businesses shall not be permitted to locate in such concentration
that their operation may establish the dominant character for the
areas where they are located.
c.ย To protect and balance lawful rights of expression
with other lawful rights to the enjoyment and use of properties.
4.ย
In addition to all other requirements applicable to the PC and
PI districts, the following requirements apply to any use in an adult
entertainment area:
a.ย Permitted uses shall be established in the permit for the adult entertainment area and are found in Section

h.ย The facility in which the use is located shall be
