The Campus-Institutional District (C-I) and its regulations are established in order to accommodate institutional facilities and their associated uses in a manner that recognizes the unique development and location characteristics of large-scale institutional uses while respecting the needs of adjacent property owners and residents. As a result, this District sets out to both adequately buffer institutional uses from adjacent lower-density residential uses and integrate institutional uses with adjacent nonresidential neighborhoods.
Specifically, the Campus-Institutional District and its regulations are established in order to accommodate civic buildings and other institutional facilities and their associated uses in a manner that:
(a) Provides for proper location of such facilities so as to increase the general convenience and safety of the City's residents;
(b) Provides for orderly growth and development in the City of Euclid;
(c) Reflects and reinforces the existing density and pattern of development while accommodating the need for future growth;
(d) Provides for and encourages a balanced, compatible mix of uses, rather than a separation of uses, in a pedestrian-friendly environment;
(e) Ensures that such facilities are compatible with adjacent land uses by requiring development plan review for any proposed development near the periphery of the District; and
(f) Provides flexibility for large-scale campus and institutional uses by applying the C-I District designation to locations with a minimum of three acres of contiguous land area.
