1176.01   ESTABLISHMENT; PURPOSE.
   A.   A Redevelopment Overlay District (RDOD) is a mapped zone that permits the additional regulations of other use districts (the "Overlying Zone") in addition to those of the underlying zoning district (the "Base District"). A B-G Business- General District may be the Base Zone in which a L-I Light Industrial District is the Overlying Zone, or a L-I Light Industrial District may be the Base Zone in which a B-G Business-General District is the Overlying Zone.
   B.   The purpose of a Redevelopment Overlay District is to provide a mechanism to accommodate development, reuse, and redevelopment in certain B-G Business- General and L-I Light Industrial Districts, which are in the public interest and may not otherwise be permitted pursuant to this Code.
   C.   A Redevelopment Overlay District shall offer the following advantages:
      1.   To constitute a hybrid zoning district that reflect the City's vision to develop or redevelop underutilized, vacant, or blighted areas of the City in furtherance of economic growth, vitality, and resurgence; and/or
      2.   Designs that are intended to encourage flexibility, innovation, and creativity in site and development design by allowing the mixing of permitted uses and/or modification or variation from otherwise applicable zone district and development standards.
      3.   Exterior operational components associated with the use shall be subject to Design Review Approval.
(Ord. 2021-32. Passed 2-22-21.)
1176.02   ESTABLISHMENT AND DESIGNATION OF A REDEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT.
   A.   A Redevelopment Overlay District may be requested as set forth in Chapter 1133 of the Codified Ordinance.
   B.   Redevelopment Overlay District considerations shall comply with all procedural requirements set forth in Chapter 1133 of this Code.
   C.   In determining whether to establish a RDOD, Council and the Planning Commission shall consider whether the purpose and standards set forth in Section 1176.01 of this Code are met.
(Ord. 2021-32. Passed 2-22-21.)
1176.03   PERMITTED USES.
   Uses listed as permitted uses in the Base District and uses listed as permitted uses in the Overlying Zone are permitted uses in a RDOD, except that automotive repair and service, printing and publishing, and public utility yards in an RDOD shall be a conditionally permitted use, provided, however, where applicable, such conditionally permitted uses shall be screened from view by a wall of material similar to and compatible with that of the building or buildings on the site and neighboring properties, or be suitably screened by a fence or dense landscaping so that such storage areas are not visible from neighboring sites, lots, common areas or public roads, streets or rights-of-way.
(Ord. 2021-32. Passed 2-22-21.)
1176.04   ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS.
   Additional regulations concerning signage, lot size, setbacks, height, parking, screening, buffering, land use intensity, and any additional required conditions shall be as specified in either the Design Review Guidelines, or, if not specifically addressed in the Design Review Guidelines, then in the relevant Base Zone regulation or in the relevant regulation of the Overlying Zone; provided, however that where a RDOD abuts a residential district, the stricter regulations shall apply to those portions of the RDOD that abut a residential district.
(Ord. 2021-32. Passed 2-22-21.)
