20.46.000 Shaw-East Pioneer overlay zones.
The following SPO Shaw-East Pioneer overlay zones are established. Properties so designated shall be subject to the provisions contained in this chapter:
|
CB-SPO |
Community business, Shaw-East Pioneer overlay zone |
|
CG-SPO |
General commercial, Shaw-East |
(Ord. 2937 § 1, 2009).
20.46.005 Description and purpose.
The SPO zone is intended to apply to those properties within the Shaw-East Pioneer neighborhood plan area. As an overlay zone, it establishes standards to supplement base zoning standards in this area, either on an area-wide basis or per underlying zone district. Consistent with the city’s zoning map, the SPO zoning shall apply only to specific parcels zoned business commercial and general commercial on the south side of East Pioneer in the vicinity of Shaw Road, until the SPO is expanded to address areas on the north side of East Pioneer upon annexation of said areas.
In addition to zone-specific standards as cited herein, the general intent of this overlay zone as applied is to accomplish the following:
(1) To encourage quality development within a framework of neighborhood consistency while still allowing flexibility and creativity;
(2) To provide streetscape standards that create a walkable, safe, pedestrian-friendly community; and
(3) To encourage the use of LID principles. (Ord. 2937 § 1, 2009).
20.46.010 Permitted uses and conditionally permitted uses – CB-SPO and CG-SPO zones.
(1) Regulations governing uses in the underlying zones shall apply to properties in the CB-SPO and CG-SPO overlay zones, with the following additional use standards:
(a) No road service uses as defined by North American Industry Classification (“NAICS”) Subsection 447 or NAICS Industry Group No. 8111 (e.g., gas stations, automotive repair and maintenance) shall be allowed within 300 linear feet of the intersection of Shaw Road and Pioneer Way; beyond that distance, road service uses shall be set back off of the roadway. Outside of said 300-foot area, road service uses shall be allowed to be oriented closer to the roadway if, in the determination of city staff, the intervening street frontage treatment (e.g., pedestrian facilities, landscaping) is of a high quality and the overall purpose of the SPO is being met within the site plan so as to justify this orientation.
(b) Mixed-use residential uses shall be permitted with no density restriction; provided, however, the first floor of any mixed-use residential building shall be commercial.
(c) Outdoor storage uses shall only be permitted behind street-facing buildings and must comply with screening standards applicable to the base zoning. (Ord. 2937 § 1, 2009).
20.46.015 Property development and performance standards – CB-SPO and CG-SPO zones.
The following development and performance standards shall apply to properties located in the SPO zone in addition to the development and performance standards specified for the underlying zones:
(1) Setbacks/Building Orientation. Base zoning setbacks shall apply; provided, however, that a 25-foot arterial setback shall be preferred in CG/CB zones and the setback area shall be landscaped. Arterial setbacks of less than 25 feet may be permitted upon demonstration that the setback is landscaped and provides a pedestrian-friendly experience consistent with subsection (3) of this section. Buildings shall be oriented toward the adjacent street(s), and separated from the street by the above landscaped setback.
(2) Height. Base zoning height standards shall apply; provided, however, that there shall be no requirement for graduated height setbacks required under PMC 20.30.032.
(3) Open Space/Pedestrian. Open space and landscape standards of the underlying zone shall apply, as well as setbacks consistent with building and landscape setbacks defined in subsection (1) of this section. The site shall be integrated with and connected to adjacent area trails and street sidewalks.
(4) Parking Lot Configuration. Within areas that are 300 linear feet from the intersection of Shaw Road and Pioneer Way, CBD zone standards shall apply to parking lot configurations and their location and relationship relative to streets/buildings. Outside of the 300-foot areas, CB zone standards for parking lots shall apply.
(5) Design Standards. Projects shall meet community design standards of PMC 20.26.300.
(6) Building Size. Underlying zoning standards as to lot coverage and floor area ratios shall apply. Any building exceeding 20,000 square feet in size shall be located to the rear of parcels behind smaller street-facing buildings.
(7) Signs. CBD zone sign standards shall apply. The master site sign plan shall be a part of the design review package for any cohesive development.
(8) Green Buildings/Low Impact Development. Proposed projects are strongly encouraged to demonstrate conformance with LEED/Green Built and low impact development principles. (Ord. 2937 § 1, 2009).
20.46.020 Application process.
Applications shall be processed in accordance with the procedures of the underlying zone. (Ord. 2937 § 1, 2009).
