2-5(B)(3)   District Standards

2-5(B)(3)(a)   Eligibility for Rezoning to NR-BP

   1.   The minimum total contiguous area eligible for an NR-BP zone designation is 20 acres.

   2.   Rezoning to the NR-BP zone district requires the approval of a Master Development Plan that furthers and implements applicable goals and policies of the ABC Comp Plan, as amended, and complies with all applicable requirements of the DPM. The Master Development Plan shall be submitted at the same time as the rezoning to the NR-BP zone district, and the requests shall be reviewed and decided as described in Subsections 14-16-6-6(F) (Master Development Plan) and 14-16-6-7(H) (Zoning Map Amendment - Council).

2-5(B)(3)(b)   Allowable Uses

Allowable uses shall be per the NR-BP column in Table 4-2-1. Use-specific standards may be specified in the Master Development Plan as long they do not change the allowable uses in Table 4-2-1 and do not reduce requirements of any related Use-specific Standards in Section 14-16-4-3.

2-5(B)(3)(c)   Development Standards

   1.   The Master Development Plan may specify development standards that apply to all lots and structures in the plan area in order to implement a coordinated and cohesive design for the project.

   2.   The site-specific standards in the Master Development Plan shall not conflict with or reduce other standards in this IDO, including those of any Overlay zone that applies to the site. In particular, the standards in the Master Development Plan may not reduce requirements in Section 14-16-5-9 (Neighborhood Edges) designed to protect abutting properties from potential adverse impacts of development.

   3.   If the Master Development Plan does not specify development standards, or if there is no Master Development Plan but development is allowed pursuant to Subsection 14-16-2-5(B)(3)(e) below, standards in Part 14-16-5 (Development Standards) apply. If Development Standards for the NR-BP zone district are not specified or if an IDO standard specifies that it is "per approved plan" in the NR-BP zone district, development shall meet the Development Standards established for the NR-C zone district.

2-5(B)(3)(d)   Development on Properties with NR-BP Zoning and Master Development Plans

All permits and approvals for property within a Master Development Plan area shall be consistent with the Master Development Plan, as amended. Where the Master Development Plan is silent, other IDO standards apply.

   1.   Once a Master Development Plan has been approved, development can be approved through a Site Plan pursuant to the applicability, procedures, and criteria in Subsection 14-16-6-5(G) (Site Plan - Administrative) or 14-16-6-6(J) (Site Plan - EPC), as applicable.

   2.   Master Development Plans are on file at the City Planning Department.

   3.   See also Subsection 14-16-6-4(X) (Expiration of Approvals).

2-5(B)(3)(e)   Development on Properties with NR-BP Zoning but without a Master Development Plan

   1.   For properties zoned NR-BP that are less than 20 acres without a Master Development Plan, unsubdivided lots can be subdivided pursuant to Subsection 14-16-6-6(K) (Subdivision of Land - Minor).

   2.   For properties zoned NR-BP that are less than 20 acres without a Master Development Plan, development can be approved through a Site Plan pursuant to the applicability, procedures, and criteria in Subsection 14-16-6-5(H) (Site Plan - Administrative) or 14-16-6-6(K) (Site Plan - EPC), as applicable.

   3.   For properties zoned NR-BP that are 20 acres or more, development requires a Master Development Plan to be reviewed and approved by the Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) pursuant to the procedures in Subsection 14-16-6-6(F) (Master Development Plan).

2-5(B)(3)(f)   Master Development Plan Amendments

   1.   Master Development Plans may be amended by the procedures in Subsection 14-16-5-6-4(Y) (Amendments of Approvals) or Subsection 14-16-6-4(Z) (Amendments of Pre-IDO Approvals), as applicable.

   2.   See also Section 14-16-6-8 for Nonconformities.

2-5(B)(3)(g)   Deviations, Variances, and Waivers from Master Development Plan Standards

   1.   Deviations from Master Development Plan standards may be granted pursuant to the same thresholds and procedures as established by IDO Subsection 14-16-6-4(O).

   2.   Variances from Master Development Plan standards may be granted pursuant to the same thresholds and procedures as established by Table 6-1-1, IDO Subsection 14-16-6-6(N), and IDO Subsection 14-16-6-6(O).

   3.   Waivers from Master Development Plan standards may be granted pursuant to the same thresholds and procedures as established by Table 6-1-1 and IDO Subsection 14-16-6-6(P).?
