(Ordinance 2019-42 adopted 10/8/19)
(a) Purpose.
The community facilities district is established
to apply to those lands where Federal, State, or local government
activities are conducted, where governments hold title to such lands,
for public and private educational facilities, and hospitals. In addition,
certain non-governmental and non-institutional uses may be permitted
in this district to provide necessary services to governmental and
institutional uses.
(b) Height and area regulations.
The height of buildings,
the minimum dimensions of lots and yards, and the minimum lot area
permitted on any lot in CF district shall be as follows:
(1) Maximum height.
Sixty (60) feet. This height limitation
may be waived by action of the city council.
(2) Minimum front yard setback.
Twenty (20) feet.
(3) Other setbacks.
Refer to section
14.02.401(c)(2), setbacks for minimum setbacks based on zoning district adjacency.
(Ordinance 2019-42 adopted 10/8/19)
(a) Purpose.
The commercial, office, and retail district
is established to be a generic district that provides areas for retail
sales that are not part of an overall larger mixed-use development.
Buildings in this zoning district may be freestanding, fully contained
on a single lot or tract of land, or a shopping center that consists
of various retail shops, along with restaurant and/or office uses.
(b) Height and area regulations.
The height of buildings,
the minimum dimensions of lots and yards, and the minimum lot area
permitted on any lot in CF district shall be as follows:
(1) Maximum height.
Eighty (80) feet. This height limitation
may be waived by action of the city council.
(2) Minimum front yard setback.
Twenty (20) feet.
(3) Minimum lot area.
One (1) acre, unless otherwise approved
during the site plan process.
(4) Other setbacks.
Refer to section
14.02.401(c)(2), setbacks for minimum setbacks based on zoning district adjacency.
(Ordinance 2019-42 adopted 10/8/19)
(a) Purpose.
The industrial district is established to provide
areas intended primarily for manufacturing, assembling, and fabrication
activities, and for warehousing, research and development, wholesaling,
and service operations that do not depend upon frequent customer or
client visits. Such uses do require accessibility to major thoroughfares
and/or other means of transportation, such as railroads or large-scale
transport vehicles. Industrial uses that are permitted “by right”
are not listed within the “heavy” or “high risk”
manufacturing or industrial uses, but are those types of manufacturing
and industrial uses that have low or no impact on the environment
and are considered “employment generators.” Those “heavy”
or “high risk” manufacturing or industrial uses require
a specific use permit (SUP) for approval, which affords greater scrutiny
by the city council as to the location and proximity to other non-compatible
uses.
(b) General locations.
Locations of industrial zoning districts
should be sited away from areas that have residential development.
These could be located behind retail zoning districts or on land that
is less accessible or desirable for residential development. The ideal
location for industrial districts is adjacent to railroad rights-of-way,
along or set back from major thoroughfares, and areas that include
other uses with higher traffic flow, noise, and commercial interactions.
(c) Height and area regulations.
(1) Maximum height.
Eighty (80) feet. This height limitation
may be waived by action of the city council.
(2) Minimum front yard setback.
Twenty (20) feet.
(3) Minimum lot area.
One (1) acre.
(4) Other setbacks.
Refer to section
14.02.401(c)(2), setbacks for minimum setbacks based on zoning district adjacency.
(d) Performance standards.
Such uses shall not propagate
excessive dust, fumes, gas, noxious odor, smoke, glare, or other atmospheric
influence beyond the boundaries of the property on which such use
is located and which produces no noise exceeding the average intensity
of noise due to street traffic at that point and provided that such
use does not create fire hazards to surrounding property. Any application
for a specific use permit (SUP) in this district must include an emission
and dust mitigation plan.
(Ordinance 2019-42 adopted 10/8/19)
(a) Purpose.
The agricultural district is established to
permit the use of land for ranching, propagation and cultivation of
crops, and similar uses of raw land (but excluding mining or. Single-family
uses on large lots are also appropriate for this district. Territory
that has been newly annexed and not immediately zoned into the appropriate
district for development is automatically zoned AG, agricultural district.
It is anticipated that Agricultural zoned land will eventually be
rezoned to another zoning classification in the future, as appropriate,
unless said land is preserved for rural purposes. However, the AG,
agricultural zoning district also encompasses both private agricultural
land uses and commercial agricultural land uses, the latter of which
requires the approval of a specific use permit (SUP).
(b) General locations.
Locations of agricultural zoning
districts shall be any location with sufficient acreage to sustain
farming and/or ranching.
(c) Height and area regulations.
The height of buildings,
the minimum dimensions of lots and yards, and the minimum lot area
permitted on any lot in agricultural district shall be as follows:
(1) Maximum height.
Fifty (50) feet. This height limitation
may be waived by action of the city council.
(2) Minimum front yard setback.
Fifty (50) feet.
(3) Minimum lot area.
Ten (10) acres.
(4) Setback for agricultural buildings.
Agricultural accessory
structures that contain livestock shall be set back from any single-family
district a minimum of 100 feet.
(5) Other setbacks.
Refer to section
14.02.401(c)(2), setbacks for minimum setbacks based on zoning district adjacency.
(d) Other applicable regulations.
(1) Agricultural open storage.
Open storage is prohibited
except for materials for the resident’s personal use or consumption
such as firewood, garden materials, etc. Agricultural, ranching, and
crop production storage is allowed, including agricultural vehicles
necessary for the agricultural use.
(2) Agricultural fencing.
If livestock (animals typically kept in pastures and/or stables and not in the home), then the restriction for fencing within the front yard setback shall not apply. Fences suitable for containment of livestock (but not barbed wire or razor wire) shall be allowed along the property boundary (see article
14.04, part three, screening walls and fencing). Notwithstanding the above, barbed wire fencing may be allowed on undeveloped tracts of land over three (3) acres in size to contain livestock.
(Ordinance 2019-42 adopted 10/8/19)
(a) Purpose.
The mixed-use district is established to encourage
and promote well-planned, compact, and viable development consisting
of an integrated blend of residential, retail, commercial, and office
uses. The proposed uses may be located in a single building (integrated)
or in separate buildings (stand-alone). Through the mixing of uses,
a more diverse selection of residential, retail, and office space
will be provided within the city, and at the same time, allowing developers
the flexibility to respond to a changing economic conditions. It is
expected that mixed-use districts will be developed as planned developments
and therefore the development standards may be amended to better suit
the specific site, development attributes, and economic platform at
the time of development.
(b) General locations.
Mixed-use developments should encourage
efficient land use by facilitating blended vertical and/or horizontal
development, with a strong relationship to the surrounding environment.
This type of development shall promote full utilization of public
services, whether existing or new, such as water lines, sewers, streets,
and emergency services, by centralizing the demands on these services.
It is expected that these districts will have an urban character.
(c) Height and area regulations.
The height of buildings,
the minimum dimensions of lots and yards, and the minimum lot area
permitted on any lot in mixed-use district shall be in keeping with
the urban character sought in the development.
(d) Land use mix.
All MU zoning districts should have a
mix of residential and nonresidential uses.
(1) C, commercial, office, and retail: Minimum of thirty percent (30%).
(2) SF-R, single-family detached residential uses: Maximum twenty-five
percent (25%).
(3) SF-A, single-family attached residential uses: Maximum fifty percent
(50%).
(4) MF-1, multifamily garden style: Maximum fifteen percent (15%) and
no fewer than fifteen (15) acres (i.e . minimum of 15 acres to qualify).
(5) MF-2, multifamily urban edge: Maximum forty percent (40%).
(6) MF-3, multifamily urban living: Maximum sixty percent (60%).
