Boonville District C-P (commonly referred to as "Planned Business District") ordinance (Appendix C, Section 2.5.5)
Appendix C: Zoning · Part 2. Use of Premises
This district is intended to provide for commercial and recreational activities that warrant special consideration due to their scale or potential impact, or for certain sites due to their location or environmental characteristics. The major objectives of a C-P District are:
- To promote flexibility in design and location of structures
- To promote the efficient use of land and to facilitate a more economic arrangement of buildings, circulation system, land use and utilities
- To ensure compatibility with surrounding areas
(a) General conditions:
(1) A District C-P may be established on a tract of land in single ownership or under unified control.
(2) The net area of land to be included in a District C-P and so designated, shall be at least two and one-half acres in size. The term "net area," as used herein, shall not include any areas within dedicated highways, streets, alleys or any other public ways or public property.
(3) The location of any District C-P shall be on property which has direct access to major thoroughfares, and the Planning Commission and City Council shall satisfy itself as to the adequacy of the thoroughfares to carry the additional traffic projected to be generated by the development.
(4) A preliminary development plan for the proposed development shall be submitted and considered as part of the rezoning application. The preliminary development plan for the proposed development shall present a unified and organized arrangement of buildings and service facilities which shall have a fundamental relationship to the properties comprising the planned development, and shall not adversely affect the uses of properties immediately adjacent to the proposed development.
