(b) SP Summit Park District. It is the purpose of the "SP" district to create a regional mixed-use area catering to the visitors of Summit Park, existing and new residents, and the adjacent office developments with integrated commercial, mixed housing, and office components.
(c) BAS Blue Ash South District. It is the purpose of the "BAS" district to create a commercial district with retail, grocery, restaurant, and office components that attract from the Blue Ash employment districts, the residential neighborhoods, and travelers along OH-126.
(d) DT Downtown District. It is the purpose of the "D" district to create a community mixed-use destination that contains a concentration of retail, restaurant, multi-family, and public amenity uses within an attractive and walkable district.
(Ord. 2017. Passed 1-26-17.)
(a) Table 1135-1: Commercial Permitted Uses lists the uses allowed within the commercial zoning districts.
(b) Permitted Uses. A "P" in a cell indicates that a use is allowed by-right in the respective zoning district. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of this code.
(c) Permitted Uses with Standards. A "PS" in a cell indicates that a use category is allowed by-right in the respective zoning district if it meets the additional standards set forth in the numerically referenced sections. Permitted uses with standards are subject to all other applicable regulations of this code.
(d) Conditional Uses.
(1) A "C" in a cell indicates that a use may be permitted if approved through a conditional use permit, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1127.06 Conditional Use Regulations. Conditional uses may be subject to use-specific standards as identified in the last column of Table 1135 1: Commercial Permitted Uses. Conditional uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of this code.
(2) The existence or lack of additional use-specific standards in this code shall not be implied to be the only standards the use is required to meet. Any use that is permitted as a conditional use shall be subject to the general review standards for all conditional uses established in Section 1127.06 Conditional Use Regulations.
