[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 9 §135), 11-2-2004]
A.
The following residential districts are hereby established: "R-1",
"R-2", "R-3" and "R-4". Each of these districts is designed and intended
to secure for the persons who reside there a comfortable, healthy,
safe and pleasant environment in which to live, sheltered from incompatible
and disruptive activities that properly belong in non-residential
districts. Other objectives of some of these districts are explained
in the remainder of this Section.
B.
The "R-1" District is designed to accommodate single-family residential
development in areas within the City for development at medium densities.
C.
The "R-2" District is designed primarily to accommodate single-family
detached, two-family and multi-family residential development at medium
densities.
D.
The "R-3" District is designed primarily to accommodate single-family
detached, two-family and multi-family residential uses at higher densities.
E.
The "R-4" District is designed primarily to accommodate single-family
detached residential development at low densities.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 9 §136), 11-2-2004]
A.
The following commercial districts are hereby established: "C-1",
"C-2", "C-3", "C-4" and "C-5". These districts are created to accomplish
the purposes and serve the objectives set forth in the remainder of
this Section.
B.
The "C-1" (central business) District is designed to accommodate
a wide variety of commercial activities (particularly those that are
pedestrian oriented) that will result in the most intensive and attractive
use of concentrated business areas.
C.
The "C-2" (community business) District is designed to accommodate
commercial development on a scale that is less intensive than that
permitted in a "C-1" District. A lesser intensity of development is
achieved through setback, height and minimum lot size requirements
that are more restrictive than those applicable to the "C-1" zone.
The types of uses permissible in these zones are generally similar
to the types permissible in a "C-1" zone, except that additional automobile
oriented businesses (e.g., drive-in banks and drive-in restaurants)
not allowed in the "C-1" zone are permissible in these zones. The
"C-2" thus may provide a transition in some areas between a "C-1"
zone and a residential zone or may provide for a smaller scale shopping
center that primarily serves one (1) neighborhood or area (as opposed
to a regional shopping center). The dimensional restrictions in the
zone are also designed in appropriate areas to encourage the renovation
for commercial purposes of buildings that formerly were single-family
residences.
D.
The "C-3" (office/residential) District is designed to accommodate
a mixture of residential uses and uses that fall primarily within
the 3.000 classification in the Table of Permissible Uses (office,
clerical, research, services, etc.). It is intended that this zoning
classification be applied primarily in areas that no longer are viable
as single-family residential areas because of high traffic volumes
on adjacent streets or because of other market factors but remain
viable as locations for multi-family residential developments or offices.
Such areas will also generally constitute transition or buffer zones
between major arterials or more intensively developed commercial areas
and residential districts.
E.
The "C-4" (general commercial) District is designed to accommodate
the widest range of commercial activities.
F.
The "C-5" (highway service) District is designed to accommodate commercial
activities that draw business primarily from and provide services
primarily to Interstate 44.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 9 §137), 11-2-2004]
The following districts are hereby established primarily to accommodate enterprises engaged in the manufacturing, processing, creating, repairing, renovating, painting, cleaning or assembling of goods, merchandise or equipment: "M-1" and "M-2". The performance standards set forth in Part 2 of Article XI place limitations on the characteristics of uses located in these districts. The limitations in the "M-1" District are more restrictive than those in the "M-2" District. Manufacturing districts may also be used to allow more traditionally offensive businesses including, but not limited to, adult bookstores and adult cabarets.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 9 §138), 11-2-2004]
A.
There are hereby established twelve (12) different Planned Unit Development
(PUD) Districts as described in this Section. Each PUD District is
designed to combine the characteristics of at least three (3) and
possibly four (4) zoning districts.
1.
One (1) element of each PUD District shall be the medium density residential element. Here are two (2) possibilities, each corresponding either to the "R-1" or "R-2" residential districts described in Section 400.503(B) and (C). Within that portion of the PUD zone that is developed for medium density residential purposes, all development must be in accordance with the regulations applicable to the residential district to which the particular PUD zoning district corresponds (except that planned residential developments shall not be permissible).
2.
A second (2nd) element of each PUD District shall be the higher density residential element. This is the "R-3" zoning district described in Section 400.503(D). Within that portion of the PUD District that is developed for higher density residential purposes, all development must be in accordance with the regulations applicable to the higher density residential district to which the PUD District corresponds.
3.
A third (3rd) element of each PUD District shall be the commercial element. Here there are three (3) possibilities, each one (1) corresponding to one (1) of the following commercial districts identified in Section 400.505: "C-1", "C-2", "C-3". Within that portion of a PUD District that is developed for purposes permissible in a commercial district, all development must be in accordance with the regulations applicable to the commercial district to which the PUD District corresponds.
4.
A manufacturing/processing element may be a fourth (4th) element
of any PUD District. If an "M-1" element is included, then within
that portion of the PUD District that is developed for purposes permissible
in an "M-1" District, all development must be in accordance with the
regulations applicable to the "M-1" District.
B.
In accordance with the description set forth in Subsection (A), the twelve (12) PUD Districts shall carry the following designations to indicate their component elements:
1.
"R-1", "R-3", "C-1", "M-1".
2.
"R-1", "R-3", "C-1".
3.
"R-1", "R-3", "C-2", "M-1".
4.
"R-1", "R-3", "C-2".
5.
"R-1", "R-3", "C-3", "M-1".
6.
"R-1", "R-3", "C-3".
7.
"R-2", "R-3", "C-1", "M-1".
8.
"R-2", "R-3", "C-1".
9.
"R-2", "R-3", "C-2", "M-1".
10.
"R-2", "R-3", "C-2".
11.

12.
"R-2", "R-3", "C-3"
C.
No area of less than twenty-five (25) contiguous acres may be zoned
as a PUD District and then only upon the request of the owner or owners
of all the property intended to be covered by such zone.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 9 §139), 11-2-2004]
The Floodplain and Floodway Districts are hereby established as "overlay" districts, meaning that these districts are overlaid upon other districts and the land so encumbered may be used in a manner permitted in the underlying district only if and to the extent such use is also permitted in the applicable overlay district. The Floodplain and Floodway Districts are further described in Part 1 of Article XVI of these regulations.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 9 §142), 11-2-2004]
A.
There shall be a map known and designated as the Official Zoning
Map which shall show the boundaries of all zoning districts within
the City.
B.
The Official Zoning Map dated January 1998, is adopted and incorporated herein by reference. Amendments to this map shall be made and posted in accordance with Section 400.523.
C.
Should the Official Zoning Map be lost, destroyed or damaged, the
Administrator may have a new map drawn on acetate or other durable
material from which prints can be made. No further Board of Aldermen
authorization or action is required so long as no district boundaries
are changed in this process.
[Ord. No. 2974 §1(Art. 9 §143), 11-2-2004]
A.
Amendments to the Official Zoning Map are accomplished using the same procedures that apply to other amendments to these regulations as set forth in Article XX.

possible after amendments to it are adopted by the Board of Aldermen.
Upon entering any such amendment on the map, the Administrator shall
change the date of the map to indicate its latest revision. New prints
of the updated map may then be issued.
C.
No unauthorized person may alter or modify the Official Zoning Map.
D.
The Engineering Department shall keep copies of superseded prints
of the Zoning Map for a historical reference.
