Special requirements It is the intent of these provisions to allow for flexibility of land uses and exceptions to traditional dimensional standards, when other conditions and special requirements are met. These provisions are not meant to allow unrestricted leapfrogging of land uses or disregard for compatibility of land uses. Greater flexibility in zoning regulations often leads to more subjectivity in land use interpretations. In making zoning decisions about land use compatibility and dimensional criteria for uses and structures, the City shall have broad discretion to protect the public health, safety and welfare; and to protect the residential integrity of the Mixed Use District and surrounding residential neighborhoods. Setbacks and lot coverage for new or expanded structures shall be determined through the Site Plan Review process by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Factors to be considered in the determination shall include; but not be limited to, existing setbacks, structural appearance, site drainage, public access, pedestrian safety, automobile safety, intersection visibility, height, parking, landscaping and other site design factors. Residential dwellings shall not be prohibited or discouraged in the M-1 District. The use or conversion of a residential structure for commercial use, other than a home occupation, shall require Site Plan approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Factors to be considered for such a use conversion include, but are not limited to, compatibility with adjacent land uses, structural appearance, structural adaptability, investment relationship, term or length of conversion (interim or permanent) and consistency with any land use plans prepared by the City for the Mixed Use District. The architectural design and exterior building materials used in connection with any new or expanded use or structure shall be consistent with any architectural design or aesthetic control requirements established by the City for the Mixed Use District. Division 85: Zero Lot Lines In new residential subdivisions in M-1, R-2A, R-2, R-3 and R-4 Residential Zoning Districts, structures may be arranged to include one (1) zero lot line provided that no windows or doors open on this side of the structure.
