1127.19 PURPOSE AND INTENT.

      (a)   The purpose of the FT-O Overlay District is to promote and protect the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare by providing regulation for the development of properties in the vicinity of or adjacent to the Fallen Timbers Battle site in the City of Maumee. The FT-O Overlay District area is intended to protect this area of special and substantial public interest because of the location of a national battlefield, the site of the Battle of Fallen Timbers. This battlefield is a historic, environmental, recreational, economic, and cultural resource of national significance. As a National Park System Affiliate, this area will include the Battle site, a visitor's center, natural areas, and recreational trails. It is the general purpose and intent of these regulations to balance private property rights and interests with the need to protect the Battlefield as a historical and cultural attraction. It is also intended that this Overlay District will balance ratios of retail and non-retail uses to minimize adverse fiscal hardships and consequences to the City with respect to the public costs and benefits related to providing public services and facilities.

   (b)   Within the FT-O Overlay District, supplemental buffering requirements are defined to eliminate or minimize negative environmental impact, to improve transportation coordination and capability, and to balance recreational, commercial, and industrial land uses, while respecting the rights of property owners to make beneficial use of their properties.
