§ 3-085. Master planned development, industrial-commercial mix.

(a)

Purpose. A master planned development, industrial-commercial mix, allows commercial uses not otherwise permitted outright in LI and GI zoning districts to be established in a planned environment to complement or serve industrial development. It is intended to provide for flexible site planning arrangements that provide open space, pedestrians access between and among the land uses, and shared parking. A master planned development for a mix of industrial and commercial uses is permitted in LI and GI industrial zoning districts (see table 2-1, "other uses"), subject to special use approval.

(b)

Minimum area required. A master planned development for a mix of industrial and commercial uses must contain at least 25 contiguous acres under one ownership at the time of application.

(c)

Access. The primary access (main entrance) to the master planned development for a mix of industrial and commercial uses must be from a street classified as a minor or major arterial, as determined by the public development director.

(d)

Use and dimensional requirements. Uses, and dimensional requirements such as building setbacks, intensity, and height shall be as established for the underlying zoning district, unless the applicant proposes in the special use application different standards which are approved by the Jackson County Board of Commissioners as part of the special use application; provided, however, that a minimum of 15 percent open space shall be provided within a master planned development that mixes industrial and commercial uses.

(e)

Internal pedestrian access. All master planned developments for a mix of industrial and commercial uses must provide internal pedestrian access connected to external access points. The type of access such as sidewalks, bike paths, bike lanes, and/or trails, will be established during the review process.

(f)

Open space management. The master planned development for industrial and commercial uses shall ensure the proper management of open spaces. Community open space will normally be the responsibility of a property owner association unless otherwise proposed by an applicant and approved by the board of commissioners.

(g)

Review criteria. In addition to standards applicable to special uses generally, the county may use the following standards to determine whether to grant approval of a special use for a master planned development with a mix of industrial and commercial uses:

1.

The uses proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses.

2.

Exceptions from this UDC are warranted by the design and amenities are incorporated into the development plan.

3.

Land surrounding the proposed development can be planned and used in coordination with the proposed development and will be compatible in use.

4.

The proposal is in conformance with the general intent of this UDC and the comprehensive plan.

5.

The proposal incorporates features of exceptional architectural, landscaping, and/or site design, including but not limited to the accommodation of important natural resources and open space, innovative techniques, or building and landscaping standards that meet or exceed the quality development standards.
