with one (1) of the other Zoning Districts, known as the "underlying
district." The requirements of the "P" District shall be
in addition to the requirements of the underlying district, except
that the "P" District may modify some of the regulations of the underlying
district in specific situations. A "P" District may be used in conjunction
with any of the other Zoning Districts or with any combination of
districts.
2.
An application for rezoning to the "P" District shall include a Preliminary
Development Plan and may include a concurrent request to change the
underlying zoning classification. If the rezoning is approved, the
new District shall include the designation of the underlying District
followed by "P". For example, a Planned Development District of an
"R-2" District shall be known as "R-2-P."
3.
Approval of the rezoning based on the Preliminary Development Plan
shall allow the applicant to submit a Final Development Plan for approval.
No building or occupancy permit shall be issued until a Final Development
Plan has been approved. The use of the "P" District shall be separate
from the Subdivision Regulations of the City, and the Development
Plans required by the "P" District shall not be construed as plats.
It is recommended that the subdivision process follow the Rezoning/Preliminary
Plan approval, but precede the approval of the Final Development Plan.
Resubdivision may be a prerequisite to approval of the Final Development
Plan.
C.
Use Regulations. Any use permitted in the underlying zone
shall be permitted. The uses permitted may be voluntarily restricted
by the applicant, or restricted as a condition of approval by the
Planning Commission.
D.
Height Regulations. The height regulations provided for
the underlying Zoning District shall be required, provided that the
allowed height may be increased by one (1) floor or fifteen (15) feet
upon a showing that the proposed structure is consistent in scale
and bulk to the character of the community, and the increase in density
as a result of the increase in height does not create an adverse effect
on the value or utility of adjacent properly.
E.
Yard Regulations. The yard regulations provided for the
underlying Zoning District shall be required, provided that the yard
regulations may be reduced upon a showing of sufficient open space
accessible to occupants; a separation between structures for fire-fighting
purposes; and that there is consistency with the visual character
of the community. No yard reductions shall be permitted for those
yard spaces which abut another District.
F.
Use Regulations.
1.
The proposed development shall provide access to the major street
system in such a way that the traffic generated by the development
will not cause an unreasonably hazardous condition nor inconvenience
in the area.
2.
Structures and traffic shall be arranged so that all principal buildings
are accessible to emergency vehicles.
3.
Parking shall be provided in a manner which reduces to a minimum
its adverse physical impact in the area. Screening parking areas with
landscaping or walls, breaking parking areas into smaller units by
introducing landscaped areas or other physical separators are suggested
approaches. The parking areas should be appropriately spaced to serve
those units they represent.
4.
The availability of services and location of public utilities shall
have the approval of each agency involved. Evidence to this effect
shall be presented with the Preliminary Development Plans.
5.
Approval of the Final Development Plan may be conditioned by the
Planning Commission or Board of Aldermen to minimize any negative
impact on the community.
G.
Application For Rezoning. A petition to change to a "P"
Planned District shall be filed with the City, along with the filing
fee as set forth by separate ordinance. A Preliminary Development
Plan shall be attached and shall include the elements set forth in
these Zoning Regulations. The process for approval shall be the same
as for any rezoning as provided by these Zoning Regulations.
H.
Approval Procedure. The approval by the Board of Aldermen
of the Preliminary Development Plan and the concurrent rezoning to
the "P" District shall be preceded by the publication and mailing
of notice, a public hearing, and a recommendation by the Planning
Commission. If the Board of Aldermen disagrees with the recommendation,
the application shall be returned to the Planning Commission for reconsideration.
Approval of the Preliminary Development Plan shall be valid for two
(2) years from the date of its approval. The filing and approval of
a Final Development Plan for any phase of the area contained in the
Preliminary Plan shall extend the period of validity an additional
two (2) years. Once approved, the zoning classification can only be
changed through rezoning and cannot be changed by expiration of the
Preliminary Development Plan.
I.

|
The Final Development Plan shall substantially conform to the
approved Preliminary Plan, shall be in final form for the issuance
of a building permit, shall have been previously reviewed by the appropriate
City Zoning Official and shall include a Construction Schedule Development.
A final approval by the Board of Aldermen shall authorize construction
to begin according to the Construction Schedule providing all appropriate
permits have been received. Construction of at least the first stage
of development shall begin within three (3) years from the date the
ordinance of the zoning change was published in the newspaper. If
construction does not begin within this period and no effort is made
for an extension of time by the owner, the Final Development Plan
shall be voided.
|
L.
Amendments. If any substantial variation or rearrangement
of buildings, parking area and drives, entrances, heights or open
spaces is requested by the applicant, the applicant shall proceed
by following the same procedure previously followed and outlined in
the Preliminary Development Plan.
M.
Open Space. The Planning Commission may require the provision
of open space to buffer dissimilar uses; to protect environmentally
sensitive areas; or to counterbalance any reduction in lot area, yard
size or bulk limitations.

[R.O. 2012 §405.380; Ord. No. 522 §§1—3, 12-1-1992]
A.
Purpose And Intent. An Overlay District is a mapped area
with restrictions beyond those in the underlying zone. An Overlay
District is usually used when there is a special public interest in
an area that does not coincide with already mapped traditional zones.
An Overlay District may cover parts of several zones or only a portion
of the underlying zone. Because of this, it is much easier to set
up an Overlay District than it is to write zoning categories for each
of the pertinent districts. Generally, the underlying zone determines
the permitted land uses, while the Overlay District may restrict the
design, require additional setbacks, or set into place any other restrictions
that will meet the District's purpose. In cases where there is a conflict
between the requirements of the Overlay District and the underlying
zone, the overlay restrictions apply.
The purpose and intent of this Overlay District is to protect
the health, safety and welfare of persons and property in the vicinity
of the Whiteman Air Force Base. This is accomplished by:
1.
Reducing noise and safety hazards associated with aircraft operations;
2.
Preserving the operational stability of Whiteman Air Force Base;
and
3.
Assisting in the implementation of policies and recommendations in
the Knob Noster Comprehensive Plan and the Air Installation Compatible
Use Zone (AICUZ) Report. The Overlay District further:
a.
Promotes the compatibility between Air Force Base operations and
land uses in the vicinity of the base through the establishment of
criteria for regulation of land use, building height and development
density;
b.
Protects the public from exposure to areas with a high degree of
potential for aircraft accidents by limiting the type of land uses
that concentrate large numbers of people where aircraft accidents
are most likely to occur;
c.
Increases the protection of persons exposed to high levels of aircraft
noise by requiring acoustical treatment of buildings located in these
areas and regulating those uses which are sensitive to such noise;
and
d.
Prohibits uses which create potential hazards to the safe approach
and departure of aircraft.
B.
Applicability.
1.
Where AOD and other City requirements or regulations apply to the
same property, the more restrictive applies.
2.
For property partially within the AOD, the following apply:
3.
For areas outside the City limits, which have not been annexed by
the City of Knob Noster, Missouri, the AOD provisions apply upon annexation.
4.
The provisions of the AOD apply to the following on all property
located within the AOD boundaries:
5.
Nothing in this Section affects existing property or the right to
its continued use for the purpose legally used at the time these Zoning
Regulations become effective; nor do these Zoning Regulations affect
any reasonable repair or alteration of buildings or property used
for such existing purposes.

and approach paths) where the potential for aircraft accidents is
most likely to occur.
The Knob Noster Planning Commission.
Any area of land or water where man-made structures, trees
or use of land can obstruct the airspace required for the flight of
aircraft in landing and taking-off at any airport.
An additional level of zoning requirements providing an extra
layer of protection for those parcels of lands within the accident
potential zones.
FAR is determined by dividing total floor area of all buildings
on a platted lot or tract by the total area of the lot or tract.
The use of a particular property existing on December 1,
1992.
A distinct area within an Airport Overlay District marked
for particular uses.

A building occupied by a use that is non-conforming to the provisions
of this Chapter may be replaced, by a new building of the same or
lesser ground coverage, in the same location or in another location
on the same lot or tract or an adjacent lot or tract that is under
the same ownership, provided that the new location is in the same
or a less restrictive subdistrict.
