The purpose of this overlay is to encourage renovation and reuse of the existing structures within this corridor. Many of the City’s historic resources are within this corridor. This overlay also includes many of the old motor hotels built during the time when Route 66 was the main cross-country transportation corridor. These structures present both opportunities and challenges.
(Ord. 736 Art. IV § (A)(10)(a), 1997)
To allow maximum flexibility in innovation and creative reuse of these structures, all of the uses permitted in the underlying zone are permitted in the overlay, and additional uses are permitted in the Route 66 overlay as follows:
A. 
Within the Residential zones, offices/professional services and Class II home occupations shall be permitted.
B. 
Within the (C) Commercial zone, all listed permitted uses subject to the property development standards in the R1-12, R1-7, R-2 and MFR zones shall be permitted.
C. 
Within the (C) Commercial zone, all listed permitted uses in the Industrial zone may be permitted by conditional use permit.
D. 
Within the Industrial zone, all listed permitted uses subject to the property development standards in the R1-12, R1-7, R-2 and MFR zones shall be permitted; and all listed permitted uses in the (C) Commercial zone shall be permitted with the exception of sexually oriented businesses, which are not permitted.
E. 
All permitted conditional uses within all underlying zones shall be permitted conditional uses within the Route 66 Overlay subject to Chapter 17.68, with the exception of sexually oriented businesses in the Industrial zone, which are not permitted, and with the exception of one (1) family and two (2) family dwelling units in the (C) Commercial and Industrial zones, which are permitted as set forth in subsections B and D of this section.
F. 
Trees, shrubbery and other landscape features shall not be considered obstructions.
G. 
Landscape structures such as arbors, fountains or trellises are permitted in the required front yard up to a height of six (6) feet. Structures over six (6) feet require a conditional use permit.
(Ord. 736 Art. IV § (A)(10)(b), 1997; Manual, Amended, 04/15/2003; Ord. 911, 2003; Ord. 1119 (part), 2010; Ord. 1149 (part), 2011)
All property development standards of the underlying zones shall apply in the Route 66 Overlay except the setback requirements for nonresidential uses in the (C) Commercial zone and (I) Industrial zone which shall be as follows:
A. 
Front Setback. Where the properties on both sides of the property in question are in the (C) Commercial zone or the (I) Industrial zone, no front setback shall be required. Where one (1) or both of the properties on either side of the property in question is in the more restrictive zone than (C) Commercial or (I) Industrial zone (i.e., MFR, MH-MF, R-2, etc.), the front setback of the more restrictive zone shall apply.
B. 
Side Setback. Where a side lot line in the (C) Commercial zone or (I) Industrial zone abuts the side lot line of a more restrictive zone (i.e., MFR, MH-MF, R-2, etc.), the side setback requirements of the more restrictive zone shall apply. Multi-story buildings adjacent to a Residential zone shall provide a side setback of ten (10) feet for each story of the building. On interior lot lines adjacent to (C) Commercial and (I) Industrial zones, there shall be no required side setback. On all exterior lot lines (adjacent to a public street), there shall be a side setback of ten (10) feet which shall not be used for parking.
C. 
Rear Setback. There shall be a rear setback of not less than ten (10) feet except that no rear set-back is required where an alley exists at the rear of the lot. Buildings adjacent to a Residential zone shall provide a rear setback of twenty (20) feet except that a rear setback of ten (10) feet shall be provided where an alley exists at the rear of the lot. Multi-story buildings adjacent to a Residential zone shall provide an additional rear setback of ten (10) feet for each story of the building in addition to the first.
