1359.01 INTENT.

   Business and Industrial Districts and their regulations are established in order to achieve, among other things, the following purposes.

   (a)   To provide for orderly development and redevelopment of business and industrial uses in the City of Euclid.

   (b)   To provide sufficient areas, in appropriate and convenient locations, for business and industrial activities and the production, distribution and exchange of goods and services.

   (c)   To provide certainty to property owners, developers and neighbors on the limits of what is allowed in Business and Industrial Districts.

   (d)   To protect residential neighborhoods adjacent to business and industrial uses by regulating the types of establishments, particularly at the common boundaries, that would create congestion, noise or other objectionable influences and establishing performance standards.

   (e)   To protect and stabilize both residential and nonresidential developments from congestion by requiring off-street parking facilities.

   (f)   To carry out the following specific purposes:

      (1)   Neighborhood Retail and Service Districts (U-4). To provide sites for retail and service uses that typically serve a limited neighborhood area, or other retail uses that serve a more general market area but which can successfully operate in proximity to residential neighborhoods. Permitted uses are those that satisfy the types of basic shopping and service needs that occur frequently and that benefit from being located close to residential areas.

         A.   The character of these districts is intended to be compatible with that of surrounding residential neighborhoods, and hours of operation are limited.

         B.   Buildings in these districts are typically smaller in scale than those found in the general commercial districts.

         C.   Accommodation of pedestrians and multi-destination vehicle trips are encouraged.

      (2)   General Commercial Districts (U-5). To provide sites for a wide range of goods and services to a large consumer population coming from an extensive area. Permitted uses are those that service and sales in support of the primary business activities in the community. Their location is advantageous at specified points along major thoroughfares that can take advantage of the regional highway network. Outdoor storage is limited and properly screened from view from off the site.

      (3)   General Industrial Districts (U-6). To provide sites primarily for industrial uses that conduct most of their operations within completely enclosed buildings, yet also to allow as a conditional use limited accommodations for predominantly outdoor use and uses that generate heavy truck traffic.

(Ord. 201-2008. Passed 10-6-08.)

1359.02 USE REGULATIONS.

   In Class U4, U5 and U6 Districts, no building or premises shall be used, and no building shall be erected which is arranged, intended or designed to be used, except for a U4, U5 and U6 use as set forth in this chapter.

   (a)   Principal Uses Permitted by Right. A use listed in Schedule 1359.03 shall be permitted by right as a principal use in a district when denoted by the letter “P” provided that all requirements of other city ordinances and this Planning and Zoning Code have been met.

   (b)   Conditional Uses. A use listed in Schedule 1359.03 shall be permitted as a conditional use in a district when denoted by the letter “C” provided the Planning and Zoning Commission first makes the determination that the requirements of this chapter have been met according to the procedures set forth in Chapter 1368.

   (c)   Accessory Uses and Structures. A use or structure listed in Schedule 1359.03 shall be permitted as an accessory use or structure in a district when denoted by the letter “A”. Such use or structure shall be permitted as a subordinate building, structure or use when it is clearly incidental to and located on the same lot as the principal building or use. Accessory uses and structures are further regulated in subsequent sections of this Code. Additional uses that are determined to be customarily incidental to a permitted principal or conditional use may be permitted by the Zoning Commissioner.

   (d)   Compliance Required. Although a use may be indicated as a permitted principal, conditional or accessory use in a particular district, it shall not be approved on a parcel unless it can be located thereon in full compliance with all of the standards and other regulations of this Code applicable to the specific use and parcel in question.

   (e)   Uses Not Listed in Schedule. Any use not specifically listed as either a permitted principal or conditional use shall be a prohibited use in these zoning districts and shall only be permitted upon amendment of this Code and/or the Zoning Map as provided in Chapter 1343 or upon a finding that a use is substantially similar as provided in Section 1323.03.
