This district may be applied as an overlay district in combination with any underlying zoning district. By limiting specific uses or requiring more restrictive development standards to individual projects or specific properties this district is intended to:
(1) ensure compatibility among incompatible or potentially incompatible land uses;
(2) ease the transition from one zoning district to another;
(3) address sites or land uses with special requirements; and
(4) guide development of unusual situations or unique circumstances.
Development standards include but are not limited to lot sizes bulk requirements use limitations off-street parking and loading provisions, accessory structures and uses sign standards miscellaneous requirements of Section 3-103 and screening and landscape requirements of Section 3-104.
A. Use and Development Standards. This district can be used to modify and restrict the use and development standards of an underlying zoning district. All requirements of this district are in addition to and supplement all other applicable standards and requirements of these regulations. Restrictions and conditions imposed by this district shall be limited to the following:
1. Prohibiting otherwise permitted or special or conditional uses and accessory uses or making an otherwise permitted use a special or conditional use;
2. Decreasing the number or average density of dwelling units that may be constructed on the site;
3. Increasing minimum lot size or lot width;
4. Increasing minimum setback requirements in any yard;
5. Restrictions on access to abutting properties and streets, including specific design features; and
6. Any other development standards required or authorized by these regulations.
B. Method of Adoption. Modifications and restrictions imposed through this district are considered part of this zoning text and accompanying map. All property included in the district shall be identified on the Official Zoning Maps by adding the letters”P-O” and a number to the base zoning district symbol. The number shall be assigned when the application is filed and numbers shall run consecutively beginning with number 1. The effectuating ordinance for zoning or rezoning property to the P-O district shall specifically state the modifications or restrictions imposed pursuant to Section 4-106(A). Such modifications and restrictions imposed shall be considered part of the text of these regulations and a violation of them shall be a violation of these regulations. The modifications and restrictions shall continue in full force and effect until revised in accordance with the same amendment procedures as for the approval of the original P-O District.
C. Effect of P-O District Designation. When the P-O District zoning designation is applied in combination with an underlying zoning district, it shall always be considered to result in a more restrictive designation than if the district did not have the P-O classification. In the event that the P-O designation was not originally requested as part of the rezoning application but is added instead during the public hearing process, renotification and readvertisement of the requested zoning amendment shall not be required.
