1127.24 MULTI-FAMILY USES.
    A multiple-family dwelling constructed in the Fallen Timbers Overlay district must meet the same requirements as a multiple-family dwelling unit constructed in an R-4 zoning district including all requirements for multiple-family dwellings contained in Chapters 1135, 1136, 1141, and 1145. Building and site design, materials and landscaping must be compatible with surrounding structures and area and shall be approved at the discretion of the City Administrator and/or Zoning Administrator. Multiple-family dwellings must be part of a large development consisting of multiple buildings, building designs, exterior materials, uses, and must be on lots greater than two (2) acres in size and a minimum density for any multi-family development may be imposed at the discretion of the City Administrator. One single-story building may be permitted per development to accommodate a multi-use clubhouse facility. All other buildings shall be a minimum of three (3) stories; however, at the sole discretion of the Zoning Administrator (or designee) some two-story buildings may be permitted. In making the determination to allow for two-story buildings the Zoning Administrator shall take into consideration the architectural features, streetscape, and how the development will blend with the general environment of the FT-O Overlay District. Finished ceiling height must be a minimum of ten (10) feet on the first floor and nine (9) foot in each story above the first. The City Administrator shall have the sole discretion to allow for shorter celling heights and in making his determination shall take into consideration the overall development and its' impact on the FT-O Overlay District area. The preference is for compatible office or commercial use of the first floor of at least one structure along the primary street with residential above the first floor. Dwellings may be on the first floor but first floor construction must allow for easy conversion to accommodate the occupancy of other C-M permitted uses. Any first floor occupancy other than residential must be compatible with the residential use of the building and shall be approved at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator (or designee).
