The Live-Work Overlay (LWO) District is established to permit and promote shared occupancy by residential uses in combination with work activities in suitable locations. By facilitating establishment of such "live-work" space, the district is intended to meet an identified need for buildings that combine living space with work space. In addition, the district is intended to assist in revitalizing areas impacted by the presence of under-utilized and deteriorated buildings suitable for re-use as live-work space.
(Ord. 147-2018. Passed 7-2-18.)
The LWO District shall only occur in locations where the underlying zoning district is a Business or Industrial Zoning District. The regulations of the underlying district shall govern except where in conflict with the regulations of the LWO District. The LWO District shall be mapped in an area where the underlying zoning prohibits residential occupancy only if it has been determined that current and anticipated future uses in the immediate vicinity will be compatible with live-work occupancy. (Ord. 147-2018. Passed 7-2-18.)
No Live-Work Unit shall be occupied nor shall the use of a Live-Work Unit, including the work use, be changed without issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Such Certificate shall be issued only if it is determined that the proposed work activities and living space meet all applicable regulations of these Codified Ordinances, including the Health and Fire Codes.
(Ord. 147-2018. Passed 7-2-18.)
