11-8-1: GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The TC-1, TC-2, TC-3, and TC-4 Town Center Zoned Districts are intended and designed to provide for an economically viable, diverse place, located within and adjacent to the NW 86th Street corridor, with quality residential, commercial, service, employment and recreational uses of various densities and intensities needed to promote quality of life, health and general welfare of citizens and visitors within the City and which draws citizens and visitors to the corridor. It shall be generally recognized that the type of use is not as important as the manner in which the use is accomplished. It is intended that the district shall not be used indiscriminately to permit any use that could potentially be detrimental to the intent of the zoning ordinance.
For the purposes of this chapter, other than the principal permitted uses table, the regulations contained herewithin shall only apply to the redevelopment, or substantial expansion of the existing development, of the properties currently zoned TC-1, TC-2, TC-3 and TC-4. The term substantial expansion of the existing development shall mean the cumulative set of site improvements that result in the expansion of the impervious surface area of the site by more than fifteen percent (15%) of the surface area of the property at the time of adoption hereof.
If the proposed site improvements result in less than a fifteen percent (15%) expansion of the impervious surface area of the site, the zoning district regulations and design standards for that property that existed prior to the rezoning of the property to TC-1, TC-2, TC-3 or TC-4 shall be applicable with respect to the proposed site improvements.
The principal permitted uses table in this chapter shall continue to be enforced in accordance with the current zoning district of each property. (Ord. 1059, 7-12-2018)
