§ 60.620. Special uses only within the B-3 zoning district.

Because the B-3 zoning district contemplates higher intensity uses, including multistory buildings, shopping centers, shopping malls and similar structures to house retail, office and service businesses and establishments, which will require special consideration to be taken in the development of the land in the district, all uses within the B-3 zoning district shall be special uses. Special uses within the district shall be allowed only upon application under the procedures of section 60.906 et seq. In determining whether to grant a special use within the B-3 zoning district, in addition to the factors set out in section 60.906 et seq. the following shall also apply:

(a)

The special use shall establish the particular height, area and bulk limitations for structures to be constructed and placed in use on the zoning lot. These limitations will supersede the general requirements of this Ordinance. These limitations shall take into account the adjoining and nearby uses within the district and within adjoining and nearby zoning districts.

(b)

Consideration shall also be given to likely future development in the district and the capacity of and impact on existing infrastructure, including, but not limited to, streets and utilities, to serve the proposed special use and other likely future uses in the district and its surroundings. Approval of the special use may be conditioned on the applicant's agreement to provide additional infrastructure outside the zoning lot to meet these needs.

(c)

The special use shall establish the particular lot area, lot dimensions and yard requirements for the zoning lot and these will supersede the general requirements of this Ordinance.
