This article presents the zoning district regulations.
Zoning districts are established in this chapter to promote compatible
land use patterns and to establish site development regulations appropriate
to the purposes and specific nature of each district.

A.
A base district designation shall apply to each lot
or site within the City and its planning jurisdiction. A site must
be in one base district.
B.
The Floodplain/Floodway, Planned Unit Development
and Environmental Resources Overlay Districts may be applied to any
lot or site or any portion thereof, in addition to a base district
designation. The Mixed Use and Public Use Districts may stand alone
as a base district.
References in this chapter to less-intensive or more-intensive districts shall be deemed to refer to those agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial base zoning districts established in the order of § 205-28 and shall represent a progression from the AG Agricultural District as the least intensive to the GI General Industrial District as the most intensive. The special and overlay districts shall not be included in this reference.
For each zoning district, permitted uses are
set forth in Table 205-38[1]. Individual sections describe the purpose and specific
development regulations for each zoning district. Supplemental regulations
may affect specific land uses or development regulations in each zoning
district. The applicable supplemental regulations are noted in Table
205-38.
[1]
Editor's Note: Table 205-38 is included as an attachment to this chapter.
A.
Adoption of Zoning Map. Boundaries of zoning districts
established by this chapter shall be shown on the Zoning Map. This
map, together with all legends, references, symbols, boundaries and
other information, shall be adopted as a part of and concurrent with
this chapter. Said Zoning Map shall be prominently displayed in the
Council chambers and/or an area accessible to the public at Papillion
City Hall.
B.
Changes to the Zoning Map. The Zoning Map may be changed from time to time by ordinance, following the procedure set forth by Article XL. Such changes shall be reflected on an Official Zoning Map. The City Clerk shall keep a complete record of all ordinances that make changes to the Zoning Map.
[Amended 4-4-2017 by Ord.
No. 1766]
The following rules shall apply in determining
the boundaries of any zoning district shown on the Zoning Map:
A.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following lot lines, such lot lines shall be considered the district
boundaries.
B.
Where district boundaries are indicated as within
street or alley, railroad or other identifiable rights-of-way, the
center line of such right-of-way shall be deemed the district boundary.
C.
Where a district boundary divides a property, the
location of the boundary shall be determined by the use of the scale
appearing on the Zoning Map.
D.
The City Council shall determine any other uncertainty
regarding district boundaries not covered in this section.
Whenever a public street or alley is vacated,
the zoning district adjoining each side of such right-of-way shall
be extended out to the former center line. When a vacated street or
alley abuts a zoning district on one side but no zoned property on
the other side (such as in the case of frontage roads where one side
of the vacated right-of-way is adjacent to a major roadway), the zoning
district of the abutting zoned property shall be extended to the entirety
of the vacated street or alley.
All unimproved or agricultural territory that
may hereafter be added to the City extraterritorial jurisdiction through
annexation shall be considered as lying in the AG Agricultural District
until such classification shall be changed as provided by this chapter.
Any property under a different governmental jurisdiction's zoning
that is added to the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Papillion shall
be zoned according to the zoning district that most nearly resembles
either the designated zoning of the previous jurisdiction or the current
use of the property. This zoning conversion shall be established by
the Planning Director.
Except as specified in this chapter or provided
by the regulations governing nonconforming development or uses, no
building or structure shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed
or structurally altered, nor shall any building or land be used, that
does not comply with all of the district regulations established by
this chapter for the district in which the building or land is located.
No lot shall contain any building used in whole
or in part for residential purposes unless such lot abuts at least
one public street. A minimum of twenty feet of street frontage is
required for a single-family dwelling. A minimum of fifty feet of
street frontage is required for two-family or multiple-family dwellings.
For all other uses, a minimum of twenty feet of street frontage is
required per lot.
Within zoning districts in Papillion, different
uses are permitted with different conditions. These are displayed
in Table 205-38[1]: Use Matrix. Levels of permission include:
A.
Uses that are permitted by right. These uses are permitted
subject to issuance of a building permit by the Building Official,
subject only to compliance with all regulations of this chapter. Uses
permitted by right might be subject to supplemental regulations contained
in this chapter. These uses are indicated in the Use Matrix by a "P"
in the applicable cell.
B.
Special uses. These uses are subject to approval of a special use permit by the City Council, following the procedure set forth in § 205-302. These uses are indicated in the Use Matrix by an "S" in the applicable cell.
[Amended 4-4-2017 by Ord.
No. 1766]
C.
Site plan approval. Site plan approval is required
for all use types, except single-family residential. The site plan
review is conducted by the Planning Department prior to or at the
time of the building permit application.

Editor's Note: Table 205-38 is included as an attachment to this chapter.
The regulators set forth in the tables in Articles V through XXVIII establish the limits and requirements for most development in the City of Papillion and its extraterritorial jurisdiction. This section is intended to provide guidance for applying the regulators contained in these tables.
A.
Site area per housing unit. This indicates the gross
land area per unit within a residential development. For example,
a forty-lot subdivision on a ten-acre (435,600 square foot) tract
will have a site area per unit of 10,890 square feet. Site area per
unit, which measures gross density, may differ from minimum lot size.
In conservation development, the site area per unit will be larger
than the minimum lot size, permitting the clustering of lots in exchange
for common open space. In multifamily development, the site area per
unit will usually be smaller than minimum lot size, because the lot
is the legal parcel on which a multiple-unit building is built.
B.
Minimum lot area. This indicates the minimum size
of a legally described and recorded parcel upon which development
can take place. As noted above, minimum lot area and site area per
unit may not be the same.
C.
Minimum lot width. This is the required minimum distance
connecting at points along opposite side lot lines, measured at the
required front yard setback. For example, the lot width of an irregular
lot in a district requiring a twenty-five-foot front yard setback
is determined by:
D.
Minimum yards. These define the required setbacks
of buildings from front, side, and rear property lines. While the
yard requirements apply to a majority of development, this chapter
provides for a number of exceptions. Some of these include:
(1)
Planned unit developments. Front yard setbacks can
be varied within planned unit developments, which are reviewed and
approved by the City Council after a recommendation from the Planning
Commission.
(2)
Major streets. The City may require greater than normal
setbacks along segments of the City's arterial street system, as defined
in the Comprehensive Development Plan.
E.
Maximum setbacks. Some specific zoning districts provide
maximum as well as minimum setbacks. These setbacks establish "build-to"
lines that may be necessary to protect the appearance and character
of special urban districts.
F.
Maximum height. Height normally measures the vertical
distance from the established grade to the highest point of a building.
However, as established by the definition of "height," the point of
measurement may vary for different types of buildings and roof slopes.
G.
Maximum building coverage. This measures the percentage
of a site that may be covered by the footprint of buildings. Thus,
a twenty-thousand-square-foot building on a forty-thousand-square-foot
site has a building coverage of 50%. This is a method of regulating
the scale of buildings in an area.
H.
Maximum impervious coverage. This measures the percentage
of a site that may be covered by buildings and other surfaces and
development features which prevent the penetration of water into the
ground (such as driveways, porches, parking lots, and other features).
Limits on impervious coverage help control the velocity and quantity
of stormwater runoff and provide for groundwater recharge.
I.
[1]Maximum amount of total parking in street yard. This controls
the maximum amount of parking that can be located in the area between
a building facade and the street. When applied in certain zoning districts,
it is intended to reduce the number of cars seen from the street,
encourage site planning which locates parking in rear and side yards,
and produce a stronger relationship between buildings and streets.
For example, a project with 100 parking stalls and a fifty-percent
limit on the amount of parking located in street yards must locate
50 of its stalls in rear or side yards without street exposure.
J.
Minimum depth of landscaping adjacent to street rights-of-way. This establishes the depth of landscaping that must be provided on private property adjacent to and in from the right-of-way line. Thus, if the required minimum depth is 15 feet, a project must landscape the first 15 feet of its site back from the right-of-way line. All landscaping must be done in accordance with Article XXXV, establishing landscaping standards.
K.
Minimum buffer yard requirements. This establishes the depth of a buffer yard that must be provided by intensive land uses that are adjacent to less-intensive land uses. Less-intensive land uses typically consist of residential uses zoning districts. All landscaping must be done in accordance with Article XXXV, establishing landscaping and screening standards.
L.
Supplemental use regulations. Certain permitted uses require satisfaction of specific requirements in order to function successfully in their urban or rural contexts. These supplemental requirements are set forth in Article XXXIII. These requirements are cross-referenced in the supplementary regulations column of the Use Matrix.
