Sec. 10-02-08. Infill Lot Development.

Development regulations are listed for each respective district or zone. The dimensional standards for the district or zone establish intensity, lot dimensions, and height standards for all development applications. These standards allow for variety in building types while maintaining the overall character of neighborhoods and commercial areas of the City. This approach to regulating development standards promotes development intensities that match existing and proposed infrastructure investments.

The following page contains a graphic representation of the various development standards found within the development tables for each section.

(Ord. 20-29, §2, 9-21-20; Ord. 21-44, §1, 10-4-21)

Sec. 10-02-06. Zoning Map.

The Official Zoning Map is located on file at the Planning Division and on the City’s website (https://www.greenwood.in.gov/). The Zoning Map is incorporated into this chapter as a reference only.

Sec. 10-02-08. Infill Lot Development.

For development on an infill lot, the applicable setbacks shall be adjusted so that the minimum and maximum setbacks for the new construction shall be within ten percent (10%) of the average setbacks of the buildings on the adjacent lots.

(Ord. 20-29, § 2, 9-21-20)

Sec. 10-02-09. Classification of Permitted Uses.

Permitted uses are listed in the use table below. The following symbols are used and have a meaning as assigned below:

A. “PP” indicates that a use is Principally Permitted in the respective district or zone as a principal use. The use is also subject to all other applicable requirements of this Division.

B. “SE” indicates a use may be permitted in the respective district or zone only where approved in accordance with the Special Exception standards listed herein, and a Special Exception approval granted by the Plan Commission as outlined in Division VI. Special Exceptions are subject to all other applicable requirements of this Ordinance, including any applicable use standards. In the instance that a use already exists on a property within a district or zone where the use becomes a Special Exception upon adoption of this Ordinance, then said use may continue exempt from the Special Exception approval requirement.

C. “PA” indicates a use may be permitted as an accessory use to a Principally Permitted use. Permitted Accessory uses are subject to all other applicable requirements of this Division, including any applicable use standards.

D. A blank cell indicates that a use is not permitted in the respective district or zone. Uses not listed as Principally Permitted uses, Permitted Accessory uses or Special Exceptions are prohibited from the applicable district or zone.

(Ord. 20-29, § 2, 9-21-20)

Sec. 10-02-10. Similar Use Determinations.

A. It is not possible for a list of permitted uses to capture every possible use that could be established. The City will occasionally receive an application for approval of a use that is not expressly listed in the use table. If a particular use is not listed in the use table, the Planning Director will determine if a proposed use is similar to a listed use.

B. If the Planning Director determines that a proposed use is similar to a listed use, the regulations governing that use apply to the particular use not listed. The Planning Director may consider the following in deciding whether a use is similar:

1. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Master Plan, or Area Plan and the purposes of the district or zone.

2. Whether the use has similar impacts on the neighborhood, such as traffic, noise, lighting, or similar considerations.

3. Whether the unlisted use has the same characteristics as a listed use in terms of building and site arrangement, site area or floor space, equipment devoted to the activity, customer type, number of employees in each activity, hours of operation, vehicles used and parking requirements, number of vehicle trips generated, signs, and how the use is advertised.

C. The Planning Director may record a decision about whether a use is similar to an unlisted use in writing.

D. If the Planning Director determines that a similar use does not exist, the applicant has the following options:

1. Request a text amendment to establish a specific listing for the use in question under Division IV. If the Common Council declines to approve a text amendment, the use is not permitted.

2. Request a variance under Division VI. If the variance is approved, the use is treated as a permitted use. If it is denied, the use is prohibited.

3. Appeal the determination to the Board of Zoning Appeals under Division VI.
