SECTION 5.5 "RETIRED DISTRICTS ", SECTIONS A, B, C, D, AND E ARE HEREBY
AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:
Sec. 12 -5.5. Retired Districts.
Retired Districts include districts existing prior to the amendment of this UDO. Existing districts will
continue to remain in effect but these districts are not available for any new Zoning Map Amendment
proposals.
A. Single - Family Residential (R -1 B).
This district is designed to provide and for detached single - family residential suburban development.
This district contains lots that are larger than the minimum GS lot, but smaller than the minimum E.
B. Light Commercial (C -3).
This district is designed to provide locations for commercial sites that are too small for many
permitted uses in the GC, General Commercial District. These are moderately low traffic generators
that have little impact on adjacent areas or on adjacent thoroughfares.
The following supplemental standard shall apply to this district:
No C -3 zoning district, including adjacent C -3 zoning districts, shall exceed a combined total of five
(5) acres in area.
C. Research & Development (R &D).
This district is designed for administrative and professional offices, and research and development
oriented light industrial uses meeting the standards and performance criteria established in this
section. These uses could be compatible with low intensity uses and all residential uses, thereby
maintaining the character and integrity of neighborhoods. This district should be carefully located in
areas where there is sufficient access to arterial level thoroughfares. The following supplemental
standards shall apply to this district:
1. Performance Criteria for All Uses.
a. Impervious Surface: Impervious surface is limited to seventy (70) percent.
b. Floor Area Ratio (FAR): The maximum FAR in this district shall not exceed fifty (50)
percent.
c. Building Materials: All main buildings shall have not less than ninety (90) percent of the
total exterior walls, excluding doors, windows and window walls, constructed or faced with
brick, stone, masonry, stucco or precast concrete panels.
d. Signs: Any detached or freestanding signage shall meet the criteria for low- profile signs
established in Section 12 -7.5, Signs. Materials shall match building facade materials.
e. Other District Regulations: Uses should be designed to provide adequate access and
internal circulation such that travel through residentially -zoned or developed areas is
precluded. All processes are to be conducted inside buildings and there shall be no outside
storage or business activity. Any business operations occurring during the hours between
7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. must meet all the performance criteria established in this section,
Chapter 12 UDO One- and Two - Family Residential Zoning Districts
Ordinance Amendment Page 25 of 53
•
as well as limit vehicular access into the site through a designated access point that
mitigates any adverse impacts of the traffic on surrounding residential areas.
2. Additional Standards.
a. This section may be applied to any conditional use proposed in this district when either the
Administrator or Development Engineer believes that the existing performance standards
contained in this UDO are insufficient to address the proposed use because of its
technology or processes and thus, will not effectively protect adjacent existing or future
land uses. One (1) or both shall so advise the Planning and Zoning Commission in writing.
b. In such cases, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall hold a hearing to determine
whether a professional investigation or analysis should be performed to identify and
establish additional reasonable standards. If so determined, based on the information
presented at the hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission will identify the areas to be
investigated and analyzed and will direct the staff to conduct the appropriate research
necessary to develop standards for successful management of the new project. Any and all
costs incurred by the City to develop additional standards shall be charged to the applicant
and included as an addition to the cost of either the building permit fee or zoning
application fee.
D. Light Industrial (M -1).
This district is provided for offices, research and development activities and high technological, light
manufacturing, non - polluting industries that are self- contained. It is further intended that the Light
Industrial District may be compatible with adjacent uses in any other district, depending upon the
character of the operation and the conditions imposed.
E. Heavy Industrial (M -2).
This district is designed to provide land for manufacturing and industrial activities with generation of
nuisance characteristics greater than activities permitted in the CI and M -1 zoning districts. Permitted
uses within this district are generally not compatible with residential uses of any density or lower
intensity commercial uses.

B. Definitions.
1. Trip Generation Rates.
Trip Generation Rates are used to estimate the amount of vehicular traffic generated by
proposed rezoning or a proposed site plan. For Zoning TIAs, these rates are shown by
zoning district in the table below. Site plan TIAs shall use rates set forth in the latest edition
of the Trip Generation Report published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE),
unless said Report does not adequately address the type or intensity of the proposed land
use. In this event the applicant or his agent shall submit projected vehicle trips to the
Administrator. For land uses adequately represented in said Report, alternate trip
generation rates shall not be accepted.

1. Zoning TIA.
Any zoning request, except for certain "redevelopment" areas, requests for R, E, GS, R-
1 B, D, or T zoning classifications which is expected to generate at least one hundred fifty
(150) vehicle trips during any peak hour period requires a TIA. Where the Comprehensive
Plan designates a property as "Redevelopment" a TIA is required if the zoning request is
expected to generate at least one hundred fifty (150) vehicle trips during any peak hour
period more than those generated by the currently approved use(s) on the property. A
zoning request involving multiple zoning districts is required to have a TIA based on the
Chapter 12 UDO One- and Two - Family Residential Zoning Districts
Ordinance Amendment Page 41 of 53
total traffic generated for all the proposed districts. A TIA may be required for a zoning
request that generates less than one hundred fifty (150) trips in the peak hour, where the
peaking characteristics could have a detrimental impact on the transportation system as
determined by the Administrator.
A TIA shall be required unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that a TIA is not necessary for the proposed rezoning request. In cases
where a TIA is required, the rezoning application will be considered incomplete until the
TIA is submitted.

"SUBDIVISION DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENTS" SECTION 8.3 "GENERAL
REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM STANDARDS OF DESIGN FOR SUBDIVISIONS

"SIDEWALKS," IS HEREBY AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:
Article 8. Subdivision Design and Improvements
Sec. 12 -8.3. General Requirements and Minimum Standards of Design for Subdivisions
within the City Limits.
H. Lots.
4. Cluster Development.
a. General Purpose.
A cluster development is intended to provide open space, preserve unique environmental
features, or protect the character of rural areas. It is a residential subdivision in which the
lots are allowed to be smaller (in area and width) than otherwise required for the
underlying, base zoning district, but in which the overall density of all the lots collectively do
not exceed the maximum density limit for the underlying zoning district. Through the cluster
development option, a subdivision can contain no more lots than would otherwise be
allowed for a conventional subdivision in the zoning district, though the individual lots within
the development can be smaller than required in a conventional subdivision. The average
lot size in a cluster development must be less than the minimum lot size of the base zoning
district, Smaller lot sizes within a cluster development are required to be offset by the
provision of open space as set forth below.
b. Conflict with Other Regulations.
If there is a conflict between the cluster development standards of this Section and any
other requirement of this UDO, the standards of this Section control. Where no conflict
exists, a cluster development is subject to all other applicable requirements of this UDO.
c. Where Allowed.
Cluster developments are allowed in residential E Estate, RS Restricted Suburban, and GS
General Suburban zoning districts.
d. Approval Procedure.
Cluster Developments are subject to the subdivision procedures set forth in this UDO. A
note shall be provided on the plat that states the subdivision is a cluster development with
additional descriptions as necessary.
e. Specific District Standards
1. Estate —
a. Lot Size. The minimum average lot size is 20,000 square feet with an absolute
minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet as long as individual lot sizes are adequate
to meet all other required density, district, and development standards. There is no
set minimum lot width or depth requirement within a cluster development, except
Chapter 12 UDO One- and Two - Family Residential Zoning Districts
Ordinance Amendment Page 43 of 53
as noted below. Subdivisions with all lots over 20,000 square feet and lot widths of
100 feet may use rural character roads, Subdivisions containing any lots below
20,000 square feet must use urban street standards.
b. Setbacks and Building Separations. The minimum setback standards of the
base zoning district apply along the perimeter of a cluster development. All
detached structures within a cluster development must be separated by a minimum
distance of ten feet.
2. Restricted Suburban —
a. Lot Size. The minimum average lot size is 8,000 square feet with an absolute
minimum lot size of 6,500 square feet as long as individual lot sizes are adequate
to meet all other required density, district, and development standards. There is no
set minimum lot width or depth requirement within a cluster development.
b. Setbacks and Building Separations. The minimum setback standards of the
base zoning district apply along the perimeter of a cluster development. All
detached structures within a cluster development must be separated by a minimum
distance of ten feet.
3. General Suburban —
a. Lot Size. The minimum lot size is 3,750 square feet as long as individual lot sizes
are adequate to meet all other required density, district, and development
standards. There is no set minimum lot width or depth requirement within a cluster
development.
b. Setbacks and Building Separations.
The minimum setback standards of the base zoning district apply along the
perimeter of a cluster development. All detached structures within a cluster
development must be separated by a minimum distance of ten (10) feet.
f. Open Space.
1. Description of Open Space.
Any parcel or parcels of land or an area of water, or a combination of land and water
within a development site provided and made legally available for the use and
enjoyment of all residents of a proposed project. Open space may include amenities
such as private outdoor recreation facilities, natural areas, trails, agricultural lands, or
stormwater management facilities designed as a neighborhood amenity. Areas
encumbered by right -of -way, easements, or utilized as parking may not be counted
towards the Open space requirements. Open spaces must be privately owned and
maintained by a Home Owners Association (HOA).
Common open space must be set aside and designated as an area where no
development will occur, other than project - related recreational amenities or passive
open space areas. The Commission may require that up to fifty (50) percent of required
common open space be useable recreational space, if deemed necessary by the
Commission to ensure adequate recreational amenities for residents of the
development.
2. Common Open Space Required for Cluster Developments.
a. Minimum Requirement.
Chapter 12 UDO One- and Two - Family Residential Zoning Districts
Ordinance Amendment Page 44 of 53
1. Common open space is required within a cluster development to ensure that
the overall density within the development does not exceed the maximum
density allowed by the underlying zoning district.
2. Common open space must be provided in an amount of at least ten (10)
percent of the gross area of the development, or fifteen (15) percent of the
gross area if the development is located in a Growth Area.
3. All proposed lots shall have direct access to the common open space, via
access easement, sidewalk, or street. Common open space may be located at
the rear of lots only when the space is designed for active recreation or a
design concept is submitted to staff for approval. Examples of active
recreation areas may include amenities such as sports fields, hike or bike trails,
parks, amenity centers, and golf courses.
4. All open space areas shall be part of a larger continuous and integrated open
space system within the parcel being developed. The required common open
space must be arranged to provide at least 30 percent of the space in at least
one contiguous area. The minimum dimensions of such space must be 25 feet
by 25 feet. The remaining required common usable open space may be
distributed throughout the building site and need not be in one such area;
provided, however, no area containing less than 1000 square feet will be
considered common usable open space.
5. The minimum common open space area must be at least equal to the
difference between:
a. The actual, average lot area per dwelling unit within the cluster
development; and
b. The required lot area per dwelling unit for conventional development within
the underlying base zoning district.
6. The common open space requirement shall not be credited toward the
parkland dedication requirements specified in the City subdivision ordinance.
K. Sidewalks.
3. Sidewalk Exceptions.
Sidewalks are not required:
d. Along new or existing streets within a Rural Residential subdivision constructed to the rural
section; or
e. Along existing local /residential streets unless sidewalks have been identified in the Bicycle,
Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan or in the applicable neighborhood, district, or
corridor plan.
