LI Light Industrial District.
Intent. This district is designed to provide areas primarily for light
manufacturing and processing industries and their accessory uses, for
supporting or.related storage, transportation and distribution activities,
Ifor commercial activities with high intensity characteristics, and for.
certain_ supporting service activities for the convenience of the concen-
trated -employee population. These areas shall normally be located on
planned sites with good access to major transportation arteries and to
appropriate utilities capacities. The regulations of this district are
intended to minimize conflicts with proximate land uses.•by controlling
noise, odor, glare, smoke, dust, wastes, and other adverse environ-
mental effects. Light Industrial classifications shall normally apply
�.to lapge tracts of land located in a manner that the uses permitted in
the district will not detract from the appropriate development or
enjoyment of nearby properties. Heavy industry, residential uses, and
most retail trade activities are prohibited in this district.

PUD Planned Unit Development District
Intent. The PUD District is established for the purpose of permitting
greater flexibility than would* normally be allowed in a particular
residential district, in the area, yard, space, height and density require-
ments for construction and development of residential areas; and, therefore,
to promote and encourage more creative and imaginative site planning and
design than would be possible if such construction and, development were in
strict compliance with the requirements for the particular district. It is
further the purpose of this district to promote mote economical and efficient
use of land while providing A harmonious variety of housing choices, a higher
level of urban amenities, and preservation of the natural scenic qualities
of open space.
PUD Defined. A PUD is a land development project planned as an entity by
means of a unitary. site plan which permits flexibility in building siting,
mixtures in housing types and J and uses, useable open space, and the pre-
servation of significant natural features.
Minimum Area, Use, Density, Setback and Height, Building Separation and Open
Space Requirements '
Area Requirements. Gross land area of thirty (30) acres or more shall be
required in all PUD Districts.-

Building Separation. a PUD District the minimum required separation
'between buildings shall be determined by the relationship between the height
of adjacent buildings and the horizontal, distance between vertical projections
of such adjacent buildings. For the purposes of this section: a vertical
'projection is any part of any exterior wall of a principal or accessory
;building, extending outward from such exterior -u-all at an angle of less
than 1800; the horizontal distance is equal to the distance, measured any-
wbere, between imaginary lines drawn perpendicular to the ground and tangent
to the outermost points of vertical projections of adjacent buildings. The
minimum required separation between adjacent buildings is set out in the
+following table:

------ --a variance-'- should be granted: ' Any- person with relevant information":"
may give•testimony; all testimony shall be"given under oath. 'Parties
may be represented by agents or attorneys as well as in person,•but the
Bo.-rd may determine whether evidence given by agents or attorneys constitut
facts or whether it is argument or hearsay. It is the responsibility of

find that all of the following conditions exist with respect to the
property:
10.3.4.4.1 Practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships would result from
enforcing the strict letter of the ordinance. Such a determination
shall be made only if the Board finds that the applicant has demon-
strated that:
(1} Strict compliance with the ordinance will deprive the applicant of.
any reasonable return from or use of his property;
(2) The hardship results -from the application of the ordinance and not
other factors;
(.3) The hardship is ac'tually•suffered by the land in question (not
the general public or other properties);
(4) The hardship is not the result of the applicant's own actions or
negligence;

of unusual size, shape, or topographic conditions not shared or
experienced by other land or structures in the district.

of the ordinance and preserves its spirit. Requests to extend non-
conforming uses or permit uses not allowed.in the district are not
consistent with this finding.

secure.
10.3.4.4.4 If tbe,variance-is granted, substantial justice will be done. In
making this determinations the Board shall examine whether literal
administration of the ordinance would deprive -the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other property - owners or occupanta'in the district
-, and, 'on the otber'hand, whether granting the variance would confer on
.the applicant any special privilege denied by the ordinance to dthez-
property in the district. -
10.3.4.5 ,If the Board grants a variance, its action shall be accompanied by its
reasons for making the required findings and by its certification that
the variance is the minimum variance which will make possible the reason-
able use of land, buildings, or structures.

z _ in full effect, the•oning administrator shall treat this as a violation
of the ordinance and shall further inform the Board of Adjustment of the
violation,,•
10.3.4.7 It is the intent of this ordinance that the requirements for the granting
of variances shall be carefully outlined and judiciously exercised to -
prevent any unwarranted exercise -of legislative authority by uriautborized
officials or bodies. _
10.3.5 Administrative Pavers. In exercising its powers, the Bo.-rd may,' in
accordance with This ordinance, reverse, affirm, or modify in whole -or
in part the order, requirement, decision, interpretation, or determination

12.1 Principles -
Amendments'of the teat and zoning map of this ordinance may be
undertaken from time to time in order to carry out the purposes stated 'in .this.ord'ininc
axid to improve this ordinance's ability to 'effectively carry out'those purposes.
Proposed amendments to the ordinance shall be considered significant potential changes
in the ordinance's ability to assist the implementation of the city's land use plan
and comprehensive plan elements. Proposed amendments should be considered with
significant attention.to the issues of whether they promote health, safety, and the
general welfare, encourage the most appropriate use of land, and implement the city's
land use plan and other comprehensive plan elements. ►►. _
Because the zoning ordinance is based on the city's land use plan and
other comprehensive plan elements, amendments (particularly proposed map changes)
sbould be carefully examined to determine if they are justified by an error in the -
original provision or classification -or whether circumstances have changed sufficiently
to make -the existing provision or district inappropriate. Absent such justifications,
an"amendment may be unneeded.- In -applying district classifications in particular,
the city's need for various types and"amounts" of uses, as well as ' the suitability of..
the land for such uses, should be principal -determining factors.
12.2 Limitations - -
Zoning classifications shall not be established nor the official
zoning map amended in the following manners:
12.2.1 Conditional Zoning. Zoning classifications shall not -be -based on
conditions of time and/br development which will result 'in an auto-
matic classification change at a future date. _
12.2.2 - Contract Zoning. Zoning classifications shall not be based.on assur-
ances by an applicant or conditions imposed by the City Council that
rezoned property will be developed in.a particular, limited fashion.
12.2.3 "Spot" Zoning. Zoning classifications shall not be adopted.in-.a_manner
- t or places special restriction upon a part -
which -confers special benefi
icular parcel of land, nor adopted in a manner which classifies a relativ
small area differently from surrounding property of similar nature and
logical use, without sound basis in the purposes of zoning as set forth
in ibis ordinance and state law.
12.3 Amendmend Procedures.
.12.3.1 Standing. A petition for a zoning ordinance amendment may be initiated
