§ 157.050 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

   (A)   Purpose.

      (1)   The business districts set forth herein are established to protect public health, to promote public safety, comfort, convenience and the general welfare and to protect the economic base of the village and the value of the property.

      (2)   These general purposes include, among others, the following objectives:

         (a)   To promote the most desirable use of land in accordance with a well considered plan so that adequate space is provided in appropriate locations for the various types of business uses, thereby protecting and strengthening the economic base of the village;

         (b)   To place in separate districts those businesses which may create noise, odors, hazards, unsightliness or which may generate excessive traffic;

         (c)   To permit selected business uses in districts adjacent to residential areas where sufficient value or convenience to the residential area offsets the disadvantages of the business use;

         (d)   To encourage the grouping in appropriate locations of compatible business uses which will tend to draw trade that is mutually interchangeable and so promote public convenience and business prosperity and contribute to the alleviation of traffic and pedestrian congestion by encouraging the use of a common ingress and egress;

         (e)   To promote the establishment of off-street parking facilities permitted and required so as to alleviate traffic congestion and so promote shopping convenience and business prosperity; and

         (f)   To promote design appearance, style and construction of structures in the business districts which will be essentially compatible with the residential character of the village.

   (B)   Business districts. The business districts described in this subchapter include:

      (1)   B-1, downtown business district;

      (2)   B-2, community business district;

      (3)   B-3, service business district;

      (4)   B-4, automotive business district; and

      (5)   O-D, office district.

   (C)   Special uses.

      (1)   It is recognized that there are certain uses which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly classified without consideration of the impact, in each case, of these uses upon neighboring land and of the public need for the particular use at the particular location.

      (2)   These uses fall into two categories:

         (a)   Uses publicly operated or traditionally affected with a public interest; or

         (b)   Private uses of such an unusual nature the their operation may give rise to unique problems with respect to their impact upon neighboring property.

      (3)   The special uses listed in each district may be permitted by the adoption of a special use ordinance by the Village Board of Trustees upon receiving the recommendation of the Plan Commission. The procedures for requesting a special use permit are described in §§ 157.190 through 157.192.

   (D)   Accessory uses.

      (1)   These uses include building or other structures customarily incidental to and commonly associated with a permitted or special use. These uses may be permitted provided they are operated and maintained under the same ownership and on the same lot as the permitted or special use and do not include structures or structural features inconsistent with these uses and do not involve the conduct of any business, profession, trade or industry.

      (2)   A further discussion on, and the standards for accessory buildings and uses, are described in §§ 157.080 through 157.092.

   (E)   Lot and bulk provisions. With the exception of planned developments, these regulations shall be as set forth under each specific business district contained herein.

   (F)   Allowable use of land or buildings. 

      (1)   Allowable uses table. Permitted uses, special uses, accessory uses, and temporary uses in the business districts shall be as indicated on the following table. All other provisions of this chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, the Building Inspector shall determine whether a proposed use that is not specifically listed on the table is most similar to and compatible with one or more permitted uses, special uses, accessory uses, temporary uses, or prohibited uses and classify the use accordingly. Such determinations shall be recorded in writing and maintained on file in the Village Clerk's office.
