(A) Purpose.
(1) The development and execution of this chapter is based upon the division to the community into districts, within which districts the use of land and buildings, and the bulk and location of buildings and structures in relation to the land are substantially uniform. It is recognized, however, that there are certain uses which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly classified in any particular district or districts, without consideration, in each case, of the impact of those uses upon neighboring land and the public need for the particular use in the particular location.
(2) Such special uses fall into two categories:
(a) Uses publicly operated or traditionally affected with a public interest; and
(b) Uses entirely private in character, but of such a nature that their operation may give rise to unique problems with respect to their impact upon neighboring property or public facilities.
(B) Application for special use permit. An application for a special use permit shall be filed with the Administrative Officer on a form prescribed by the Plan Commission if the special use permit is required for a planned development and by the Zoning Board of Appeals in all other cases. The application shall include a disclosure of beneficial interests as required by § 159.046. Such application shall be filed by the legal or beneficial owner of the property from which the special use permit is sought. The application shall be accompanied by plans and data prescribed by the appropriate Board or Commission, and shall include a statement in writing by the applicant and adequate evidence that the proposed special use will conform to the standards set forth in division (E) below. All such applications shall be forwarded to the appropriate Board or Commission at the next available agenda after all required notices have been provided in accordance with state statutes and city ordinances.
(C) Hearing on application for special use permit. Within 60 days of receipt of any application by the Administrative Officer for a special use permit the appropriate Board or Commission shall hold a hearing of such application at such time and place as shall be established by the appropriate Board or Commission. The hearing shall be conducted and a record of such proceedings shall be preserved in such manner as appropriate Board or Commission shall prescribe.
(D) Notice of hearing. Notice of time and place of such hearing shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the city not more than 30 nor less than 15 days before such hearing. Supplemental or additional notices may be published or distributed as the appropriate Board or Commission may, by rule, prescribe form time to time.
(E) Findings of fact and recommendations of the Plan Commission.
(1) The appropriate board or commission shall make written findings of fact and shall submit same together with its recommendations to the City Council within 30 days after the close of the hearing on a special use. The Board’s or Commission’s report to the City Council shall indicate the vote of each member present and voting upon every recommendation and shall contain a statement of reasons why a member or members did not vote in favor of a recommendation.
(2) No special use shall be recommended by the Board or Commission for approval by the City Council unless the Board or Commission shall find that the petitioner has shown that:
(a) The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare;
(b) The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, not substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood;
(c) The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district, including in business districts, the special use will not negatively affect the overall character of the area or detract from the primary retail nature of the district;
(d) The exterior architectural appearance and functional plan of any proposed structure will not be incompatible with either the exterior architectural appearance functional plan of structures already constructed or in the course of construction in the immediate neighborhood or the character of the applicable district so as to cause a substantial depreciation in the property values within the neighborhood;
(e) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or are being provided;
(f) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets; and
(g) The special use shall conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations may, in each instance, be modified by the City Council.
(F) Conditions. The appropriate Board or Commission may recommend and the City Council may require such conditions or restrictions upon the construction, location and operation of a special use as shall be deemed necessary to secure the general objectives of this chapter and maintain the value of property in the neighborhood. Such conditions may include, but not be limited to, provisions for the protection of adjacent property, the expiration of such special use permit after a specified period of time, or off-street parking and loading.
(G) Action by the City Council.
(1) The City Council shall not act upon a proposed special use permit until it shall have received written findings of fact and a recommendation from the appropriate Board or Commission on the special use permit.
(2) Upon receipt of written findings of fact and recommendation from the appropriate Board or Commission, the City Council shall place such report on its agenda within 30 days. special use permits shall be authorized by the City Council by ordinance.
(H) Effect of denial of a special use permit. No application for a special use permit which has been denied wholly or partly by the City Council shall be resubmitted for a period of one year from the date of such denial, except on the grounds of new evidence or proof of changed conditions found to be valid by the appropriate Board or Commission.
(I) Uses authorized. Within each zoning district a special use permit may include one or more of the uses listed therein as special uses.
(J) Revocation and expiration. In any case where a special use has not been established within one year after the date of granting hereof, the appropriate Board or Commission shall review the special use permit and recommend to the City Council whether or not the special use permit should be revoked. Should a special use or uses authorized by special use permit cease to exist for more than one year, the special use permit shall automatically expire and may be renewed only by complying with the provisions of this section.
(K) Special use development standards. Except as herein provided, the minimum size for each zoning lot designed or used for a special use and the minimum yard requirements shall be recommended by the appropriate Board or Commission and specified by the City Council.

(12) Residential developments in existing buildings having historic architectural or aesthetic significance, of educational institutions on zoning lots of ten acres or more in existence on May 13, 1978, which historically have provided complete residence and educational facilities for its faculty and students. The residential densities in such existing buildings may exceed those permitted for the underlying classification only when it is determined to be necessary to accomplish the objectives and intent of this section. However, no new residential structures or additions may be constructed on the site which will further increase the density beyond that permitted by the zoning classification. No new accessory facilities or additions may be permitted on the site which are not in harmony with the intent of this section to preserve the historical and architectural, aesthetic significance of existing structures and sites. In evaluating the appropriateness of the number of dwelling units proposed for such development, the following items, among other things, shall be considered: the historical residential population and use of the site during institutional use, the character of the surrounding area, the topography of the area, the bulk of the buildings existing on the site, and the extent of the benefit to the welfare of the community to be derived from preserving the existing aesthetic appearance of the site;

No such special use permit shall be granted unless the applicant demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the City Council that, in addition to the standards otherwise required for special permit uses found in division (E) above, the following standards are also satisfied.
(a) There is a demonstrable and immediate need for affordable, rental, senior housing units, as evidenced in a market analysis or other competent evidence, within the city and its immediate vicinity.
(b) The proposed senior cottage development is reasonably accessible to commercial areas, public and private services, public transportation routes or other identified senior magnets, including:
1. Market Square;

(c) The proposed senior cottage development is to be located on property owned by either the city, the City Housing Foundation or some other similarly situated not-for-profit corporation involved in the development and management of affordable senior housing for the city community. Where the property is owned by a not-for-profit corporation other than the City Housing Foundation, the not-for-profit corporation shall produce evidence, satisfactory in form and substance to the City Manager in consultation with the City Attorney, that it owns the property in fee simple. Notwithstanding anything provided in this division (L)(14)(c), senior cottage developments may be proposed on property where neither the city, the City Housing Foundation, nor another similarly situated not-for-profit corporation has a fee simple or lesser interest in the property; provided, however, that the owner of the property is prepared to transfer ownership in fee simple to either the city, the City Housing Foundation or a similarly situated not-for-profit corporation as a condition of the special use permit.
(d) The proposed senior cottage development is designed to be architecturally and structurally compatible and consonant in overall site design with surrounding properties. The determination as to whether a senior cottage development is architecturally and structurally compatible and consonant with surrounding properties shall be made by the Building Review Board, and where appropriate, the Historic Preservation Committee.
(e) Each senior cottage within a proposed senior cottage development shall be designed to accommodate the independent living requirements of persons at least 65 years of age, and shall contain no more than 1,300 square feet of space with no more than one bedroom. Each senior cottage shall have an attached or detached single car garage or carport that shall contain no more than 330 square feet. All square footage calculation for senior cottages shall be based on the city’s building scale ordinance. In addition, the senior cottage development shall contain at least one senior cottage, but in no instance more than five senior cottages, and shall provide direct connection to public sidewalks.
(f) Each senior cottage within a proposed senior cottage development shall be made available exclusively for rental occupancy by a family of not more than two people, provided that at least one of the family-members is at least 65 years of age and the other family-member is at least 21 years of age.
(g) Any senior cottage development shall have a restrictive covenant recorded against its property. The restrictive covenant shall be in a form and substance acceptable to the City Attorney and shall contain such terms to assure compliance with the requirements of this code, and include the following provisions:
1. The senior cottage development within a proposed senior cottage development shall be made available exclusively for rental occupancy by a family in accordance with the limitations of division (L)(14)(f) above; and
2. The senior cottage development serves a demonstrable sector of the community in need of affordable, rental housing units that qualify as “low income housing” under the “safe harbor” provisions, adopted as Rev. Proc. 96-32, 1996-1 C.B. 717, by the Internal Revenue Services, (as it may be amended from time to time).
(h) Any applicant for a senior cottage development special use permit must demonstrate the financial capability, in form and substance satisfactory to the City Manager to undertake and operate such development in compliance with the requirements of this code. In evaluating such financial capability, the city shall consider whether the senior cottages and their residents would be eligible to participate in rental subsidy programs designed to serve person of limited income.
(i) Notwithstanding any contrary regulations of this code, special use permits issued for any senior cottage development may multiple senior cottages on one zoning lot.

(b) Previous use. Previous use or uses of the proposed development area were uses other than single-family residential authorized through a special use permit.
(c) Historic significance. One or more structures of historic significance are located on the development area. Historic significance shall be deemed to exist if the structure(s) are included in one or more local or national historic districts or if the structure(s) are locally designated as individual historic landmarks.
(d) Adjacencies. The development area is adjacent to or located within 200 feet of at least one other zoning district and the density of the adaptive reuse development does not exceed the maximum density permitted in the most permissive of those districts.
(e) Regulations for adaptive reuse developments.
1. Lot size, building coverage, total impervious surface and open space. All adaptive reuse developments shall be subject to the lot size, building coverage, total impervious surface and open space requirements set forth in the ordinance approving the special use permit.

(f) Procedure for approval of a special use permit for an adaptive reuse residential development.
1. Application. The owner shall submit to the city a written application for approval of an adaptive reuse residential development plan on forms supplied by the city. The application shall be accompanied by payment of requisite filing fees and a development plan, as described in division (L)(15)(f)3. below.
2. Tentative development plan. A tentative development plan shall be prepared by a licensed architect, land surveyor, civil engineer, or planning consultant and shall include the following:
a. A survey showing existing features of the property, including contours, buildings, structures, conditions and species of trees over four inches in trunk diameter, streets, utility easements, right of way, land use and other data required by the city’s subdivision ordinance for tentative plat approval, the tree preservation and landscape ordinance and other applicable city codes, ordinances and regulations;
b. A site plan showing proposed building location and land use areas on the property in question. The site plan shall identify all bulk, space, and yard information relating to the property in question;
c. An area map identifying uses and showing the buildings, natural features, roadways, pedestrian ways, and other significant characteristics of the land lying adjacent to and within at least 500 feet of the property in question. In addition, the area map shall identify the nearest adjacent zoning districts to the various areas of the property in question;
d. Traffic circulation, parking areas, sidewalks and pedestrian walks;
e. Landscaping plans, including site grading, tree preservation and landscaping design;
f.

A copy of the report and recommendation of the appropriate Board or Commission shall be submitted with the final development plan; and
g. Preliminary engineering plans, including street, yard and open space lighting, street improvements, drainage system, sewer system and public utility extensions, shall be prepared. Such preliminary engineering plans shall demonstrate compliance, or the ability to comply with, the requirements of the subdivision ordinance, the watershed development ordinance and all other applicable regulations and shall address top of foundation heights, base flood elevations, off-site stormwater impacts, wetland and other buffering requirements, and tree removal and tree preservation activities.
3. Review of tentative development plan; hearing. The Plan Commission shall hold a public meeting on an application for approval of a tentative development plan for the adaptive reuse development. In the course of its review, the Plan Commission may require the owner to supplement the information provided, including without limitation the preparation and delivery of engineering or other feasibility studies on the handling of anticipated problems arising out of or in connection with the development. The Plan Commission, following its review of a tentative development plan, shall recommend to the City Council approval, approval with modifications or disapproval of the tentative development plan. Any approval may be with conditions, but it shall be recommended only upon findings that:
a. The proposed uses will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses;
b. The building massing, building footprints and open space reflected in the tentative development plan are consistent with those in adjoining zoning districts;
c. The proposed development is consistent with the general intent of the Comprehensive Plan, with consideration to the natural features on, development adjacent to, and the ingress to and egress from, the property. Alternatively, a finding that an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan consistent with the proposed adaptive reuse residential development is warranted;
d. Existing and proposed streets are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic within the proposed development and in the vicinity of the proposed development, as well as to avoid conflicts in the character and patterns of traffic. To the extent private streets are included in the tentative development plan, adequate provisions must be made for the long-term maintenance of such streets to ensure that they do not become a financial burden on the city. Provision in deed restrictions acceptable to the city requiring that such maintenance be performed and paid for by a mandatory owners association is deemed adequate provision;
e. Existing and proposed utility services are adequate for the proposed development;
f. The proposed development, or each phase of the proposed development if construction will be in stages, will contain the required parking spaces, landscape and utility areas necessary for creating and sustaining a desirable and suitable environment;
g. Construction, installation or performance of all mass grading, stormwater facilities, all underground utility mains and appurtenances, private roads or public streets (through first lift) and sidewalks, and major landscaping elements is capable of completion within two years unless a longer time frame is specified in the ordinance; and
h. The tentative development plan complies with all other criteria and the stated purpose set forth in this section.
4. Consideration of tentative development plan. The City Council shall, within 60 days after receipt of the recommendation from the Plan Commission on the tentative development plan, approve, approve with modifications or disapprove the tentative development plan; any approval may be with conditions. If the Council fails to act within such 60-day period, the tentative development plan shall be deemed disapproved; provided that, if the applicant requests an extension to such period, then the period will be so extended until the Council takes action on the tentative development plan.
5. Ordinance approving tentative development plan. Upon approval of a tentative development plan for an adaptive reuse development, the City Council shall pass an ordinance approving the tentative development plan. No ordinance approving a tentative development plan shall be effective unless all of its terms and conditions are accepted and agreed to by the owner within ten days after its passage by the City Council (unless a longer period is provided in the ordinance approving the tentative development plan). Such ordinance approving the tentative development plan shall constitute tentative plat approval. The city may grant the tentative development plan approval contemporaneously with the special use permit ordinance; provided, however, that there shall be no right to proceed with implementation of a development plan unless and until final development plan approval is granted.
6. Final development plan; special use permit approval.
a. The Plan Commission shall hold a public hearing on an application for approval of a final development plan. Notice shall be given in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Code relating to special uses. The owner shall submit a final development plan in accordance with the ordinance approving the tentative development plan and the final platting requirements in the city’s subdivision ordinance. The final development plan shall be processed contemporaneously with, and in accordance with, the procedures for a final plat and for a special use permit, and shall include at least the following information:
i. All submittal requirements for a final plat under the subdivision ordinance; the watershed development ordinance; and other applicable city codes, ordinances and regulations (including the ordinance approving the development plan). The information required for all of the foregoing, and demonstration of compliance, shall be fully presented, including without limitation provision for construction of underground electrical and telephone service. Final engineering plans, including street, yard and open space lighting, street improvements, drainage system, sewer system and public utility extensions shall be prepared. Location of garbage and refuse collection points and of mail pickup points shall also be specified;
ii. Any required declarations of covenants shall be presented for review and approval by the City Attorney;
iii. Construction sequence and time schedule for completion of improvements, infrastructure, buildings, parking spaces and landscaped areas within the adaptive reuse residential development shall be set forth as part of the final development plan; and
iv. Any information required pursuant to the ordinance approving the tentative development plan.
b. Following the public hearing, the Plan Commission shall recommend the terms for approval or amendment of the special use permit in connection with for the final development plan. Thereafter, such Plan Commission recommendation shall be forwarded to the City Council for consideration of the approval of the final development plan pursuant to a special use permit ordinance, which shall also serve as the final plat approval for the property. Until a final development plan designating the land subdivided into lots, if any, as well as the division of other lands not so subdivided into common open areas and building sites is recorded with the County Recorder of Deeds, no development activity on the property in question shall be permitted unless expressly authorized in the ordinance approving the tentative development plan. The recording of the special use permit ordinance and final development plan (including the final plat) shall inform all who deal with adaptive reuse residential development of the restrictions placed upon the land and act as a zoning control device. The final development plan for the adaptive reuse development shall contain appropriate legends or notations on its face reflecting the special use permit ordinance and all of the covenants, restrictions, dedications, regulations and requirements of and for the plan and pertaining to the development, and shall be certified by the Plan Commission as being in compliance with this subchapter prior to its being recorded. No building permit shall be issued for any structure until the certification and recording of the final development plan has been completed.
7. Contemporaneous approvals. Nothing in this section shall prevent an owner from seeking and obtaining contemporaneous approvals, such as those for architectural elements and landscaping, provided that all elements of a development plan and other matters requiring approval are in a form acceptable to the city. To the extent feasible, contemporaneous reviews and approvals of development plans and other matters should be encouraged.
8. Modifications to the final development plan.
a. Minor modifications. The City Engineer, in his or her discretion and with the consent of the Director of Community Development, may authorize in writing minor modifications to a particular final development plan if such adjustments are necessary in light of technical or engineering considerations first discovered during actual development and do not materially affect the nature or character of the approved final development plans. Other changes necessitated by engineering considerations that may affect the nature or character of the final development plans may also be so approved by the City Engineer, within the Engineer’s sole discretion, pursuant to this division (L)(15)(f)8.a.; provided, however, that such minor modifications shall be limited to the following:
i. Altering the location or dimensions of any structure, group of structures or vehicular drive by not more than five feet;
ii. Altering the location of any open space by not more than five feet; and
iii. Altering the final grade by not more than 5% of the originally planned grade.
b. Major modifications. Any modification to a particular final development plan not specifically authorized in division (L)(15)(f)8.a. above shall be considered to be a major modification and shall be granted only upon application to, and approval by the City Council, by resolution duly adopted. The City Council may, but shall have no obligation to, require that the application for a major modification be considered at a public hearing before the City Council or such other board or commission as the City Council shall require.
