(A) Application. Property may be zoned as a CO Combining District in accordance with the provisions of this Code. When an applicant applies for zoning or rezoning using the CO Combining District, any notice required by this Code shall include a description of the restrictions proposed by the applicant and a statement that additional conditions may be imposed by the City Council and that additional notice shall be provided if the City Council proposes to require fewer conditions than proposed by the applicant or to zone or rezone the property into the requested base district without the requested CO Combining District.
(B) Use and site development regulations in the Conditional Overlay Combining District. The CO Combining District modifies and restricts the use and site development regulations otherwise authorized in the base district. All requirements of a CO Combining District are in addition to and supplement all other applicable requirements of this Code. Restrictions which may be imposed by the CO Combining District shall be limited to the following:
(1) Prohibiting permitted and special uses and accessory uses otherwise authorized in the base district, or making a permitted use a special use;
(2) Decreasing the number or average density of dwelling units which may be constructed on the property;
(3) Increasing minimum lot size or minimum lot width requirements;
(4) Decreasing the maximum floor to area ratio permitted;
(5) Decreasing the maximum height permitted;
(6) Increasing the minimum yard and setback requirements;
(7) Decreasing the maximum building or impervious coverage permitted;
(8) Restricting access to abutting and nearby roadways, including specific design features intended to ameliorate potentially adverse traffic impacts;
(9) Providing for architectural and design features to enhance compatibility with the residential character of the city; or
(10) Any other specific site development regulations required or authorized by city ordinance or Code provision.
(C) Method of adoption. Conditions imposed by the CO Combining District shall be included in the ordinance zoning or rezoning the property as a CO Combining District. All property included in a CO Combining District shall be identified on the Official Zoning Map by adding the letters "CO" to the base district symbol. The ordinance zoning or rezoning property as a CO Combining District shall specifically state the modifications imposed pursuant to this Code. The restrictions shall be considered a part of the zoning provisions of this Land Development Code. A violation of the restrictions shall be a violation of the zoning provisions of this Code. The restrictions shall continue in full force and effect until modified by City Council by amendment to the ordinance zoning or rezoning the property as a CO Combining District.
(D) CO zoning of property subject to public restrictive covenants. For purposes of this section, a "public restrictive covenant" is a covenant which (i) names the city as its beneficiary, (ii) restricts use or development of the property, and (iii) was recorded as a condition of approval of zoning or rezoning by the City Council. The owner of any property subject to a public restrictive covenant may request CO Combining District zoning of the property, provided it pays an application fee for zoning. The City Council may initiate CO Combining District zoning for any property subject to a public restrictive covenant notwithstanding a request from the owner of the property. Restrictions imposed under an ordinance granting a CO Combining District shall be identical to restrictions in the public restrictive covenants. An ordinance zoning property as a CO Combining District that includes all restrictions imposed by public restrictive covenant(s) constitutes the consent of the City Council to terminate the public restrictive covenant(s) on the property.
(E) Permitted uses. Permitted uses are determined by the base district except as limited or further restricted by the CO conditional overlay.
(F) Special uses. Special uses are determined by the base district except as limited or further restricted by the CO conditional overlay.
(G) Site requirements. Site requirements are determined by the base district except as limited or further restricted by the CO conditional overlay.
(H) Supplementary requirements. Supplementary requirements are determined by the base district except as limited or further restricted by the CO conditional overlay.
