(2) RS-1, RS-2, R-1, And R-2 Zones: In RS-1, RS-2, R-1, and R-2 Zones, only one principal structure or building may be built upon a single development site, parcel or lot, except as it may be otherwise specified in this article and/or as part of a planned unit development. The following zones, without having a planned unit development, are allowed to have more than one principal structure or building upon a single development site, parcel or lot: R-3, T-N, C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, M-1, M-2, I-P, A-D, C-D, C-C, and H-C.
(3) Uses: More than one classification of uses (residential, commercial, or industrial) and more than one use within these use classifications (example: bakery, food store, restaurant, retail store) shall be permitted on a lot or parcel within the same building (or different buildings), in any zoning district and/or without a planned unit development application approval, if the proposed individual uses are permitted uses or special uses. In the case of a proposed special use, such application should proceed through the standard procedures of a special use permit application.
(4) Business Permit: Any person establishing, operating, or carrying on any permitted and/or accessory use in a commercial, industrial, and/or mixed use zoning district shall first obtain a business permit from the Planning and Zoning Department prior to establishing, operating, or carrying on such use. When a business name, occupant or owner changes, the business owner is responsible for obtaining from, and completing and submitting to, the Planning and Zoning Department an application for a business permit. The Planning and Zoning Department shall, upon receipt of such application and any applicable fees as established by City Council through resolution, issue a business permit for display in a conspicuous place upon the premises after confirming the business address with the Mapping Department and confirming that the business is an allowed land use in the zoning district in which the business is located and/or that the business is a legally nonconforming land use. Once the permit has been issued, the Planning and Zoning Department will furnish the permit information to the Building Department, Fire Department, Water Department, Mapping Department and City Clerk.
(5) Residential Uses In Nonresidential And Mixed-Use Zones: Residential uses in nonresidential and mixed-use zones shall have the same requirements as set forth in the R-3 Zone. This includes, but is not limited to, requirements for setbacks, frontages, lot size and dimensions, signage, and fencing.
