of such district.
2.
Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated or
when the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks
and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be lot lines;
and where the districts designated on the Zoning Map are bounded approximately

Louis County Council, or the State of Missouri, the zoning districts

intended for regional commercial uses located along major arterial
roadways. Uses may include large-scaled businesses and service establishments
that cater to regional demands and attract traffic from out of the
immediate trade area. Uses in this district should benefit from and

[Ord. No. 1857 §1, 11-21-2013]
A.
Purpose. The "C-3" Shopping, Service and Office
District is intended to provide convenient commercial services to
the immediate neighborhood, as well as neighboring communities. Desired
uses are those that service the City of Woodson Terrace and surrounding
communities' day-to-day needs, yet attract outside transient market
bases. The uses in this district include larger commercial uses, institutional
and residential lofts that are mixed both horizontally and vertically.
Residential uses included in this district are not allowed on the
ground floor of any building. The main focus of this district is to
provide commercial development that is integrated into the community
that is a lower traffic generator than a typical big-box store or
regional retail development, but includes effective placement of parking,
bicycle, pedestrian and transit connections that allow walkable developments.
C.
Conditional Uses. The Board of Aldermen may authorize conditional use permits for uses listed as conditional uses in Appendix A pursuant to Section 400.420 of this Chapter and subject to such other restrictions and conditions as deemed necessary.
D.

"C-4" Retail Commercial District is no longer a zoning district available
for zoning classification of properties in the City other than such
properties already zoned "C-4" Retail Commercial District as of the

unless or until hereafter rezoned, continue to be subject to the requirements
of the "C-4" District. After the effective date of this Code, no additional
land shall be rezoned to the "C-4" District. Use of property maintaining
the "C-4" preexisting zoning shall be subject to all other regulations
of this Code.

Purpose. The "I" Industrial District is intended
to provide accessible industrial areas, uses not included in the mixed-use
or commercial districts, from major transportation facilities to achieve
a satisfactory correlation of factors such as effective buffering
from adjacent residential areas, low-impact design and maintenance,
efficient land assembly, adequate topographic conditions, and adequate
provision of public utility facilities required by industry. It is
the goal of these regulations to facilitate development and sustainability
so that the production and distribution of goods and services can
effectively compete regionally and nationally, yet integrate with
commercial and residential areas of the City.

[Ord. No. 1857 §1, 11-21-2013]
A.
Description. Planned overlay districts are special
zones placed on top of existing zoning districts available only for
two (2) designated areas of the City (Gateway Overlay Area and Town
Center Overlay Area). An overlay district provides relief from the
underlying zoning district requirements for a specific area allowing
greater flexibility for development that promotes the goals and objectives
of the City's Comprehensive Plan and complies with the procedures
and requirements of this Section while also authorizing conditions
that may be required to grant such flexibility. This allows the City
to maintain the current zoning for properties, yet addresses the special
needs of targeted areas when opportunities for redevelopment occur.
Except as provided in the planned overlay district zoning approval,
the requirements of the underlying zoning district classifications
shall fully apply.
B.
Purpose And Intent. The purpose of the overlay(s)
is to promote improvements to the City's underutilized or aging commercial
corridors and residential areas. The intent of the City's planned
overlay districts is to allow the development of land that is consistent
with the City's Comprehensive Plan and to promote the following development
objectives:
1.
Allow flexibility in the development and redevelopment of the
City's core activity areas by allowing versatility in the City's underlying
district regulations.
2.
Provide guidelines to establish an envisioned level of continuity
between existing and proposed development and preserve the scale and
character of buildings, homes and transportation network.
3.
Promote development that is at the forefront of evolving development
trends; including stormwater best management practices (BMP), bike
and pedestrian accessibility and place making.
4.
Advance the concepts of mixed-use development to achieve a blend
of retail, commercial service, office and residential activities.
C.
Planned Overlay Boundaries. The boundaries are shown
on the City's Official Zoning Map. They include:
1.
Gateway Overlay. The boundaries of the Gateway
Overlay generally follow Natural Bridge Road from the east City limit
to west City limit and extend south on Woodson Road to Aerospace Drive,
including adjacent parcels along the main roadway corridors.
2.
Town Center Overlay. The boundaries of the
Town Center Overlay generally follow the Town Center District as shown
on the Future Land Use Map in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The area
is located along Woodson Road from Aerospace to the southernmost City
limits and includes, but is not limited to, all parcels adjacent to
Woodson Road.
D.
Permitted Uses. Uses permitted by right or by conditional
use in the underlying district may be permitted subject to the procedures
and requirements of this Section. The overlay districts shall not
authorize uses that are not permitted in the underlying zoning district.
More than one underlying district may be utilized to permit a wider
range/mix of uses.
E.
When Required. Any change to the development characteristics
of an existing site or parcel(s) of land located within a designated
overlay area, as depicted on the City's Zoning Map, that includes
any of the following shall require rezoning to the appropriate planned
overly/underlying zoning district(s):
F.
Exceptions. The following exceptions shall apply:
1.
New additions to legally existing structures, provided no waivers
or modification of any district or other regulation is needed.
2.
The change is not detrimental to the neighboring properties
or community, does not materially alter or impact traffic, public
improvements, or public financial burdens, and is otherwise consistent
with all established City plans, policies and ordinances.
G.
Application Requirements. The procedures for application, review and approval of a planned overlay district shall follow the procedures as set forth in Section 400.430 (zoning amendments) and include the following:
1.
A fully executed City petition form signed by the property owner(s).
2.
