The Zoning Code has nine stated purposes for its establishment: 1) Protect the use districts; 2) Promote orderly development and redevelopment; 3) Provide adequate light, air, and access to property; 4) Prevent congestion in the public streets; 5) Prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by regulating land, buildings, yards, and densities; 6) Provide for compatibility of different land uses; 7) Provide for administration and amendment of the zoning code; 8) Prescribe penalties for violations; and 9) Define the powers and duties of the city staff, the Board of Adjustments and Appeals, the Planning Commission, and the City Council in relation to the zoning code. City Code § 152.002. "If a use is not specifically permitted, permitted by conditional use permit, or prohibited, the use will be considered prohibited." City Code § 152.006. 3.2 City of Saint Anthony Village Zoning Districts The City is divided into nine zoning districts (five residential, one commercial, one light industrial, one PUD, and one recreation/open space). The residential zoning districts together occupy the majority of the City, and the commercial and light industrial zoning districts occupy a small percentage of the City. • Approximately 53.2 percent of the City is devoted to residential use. The five residential zoning districts by themselves amount to 51.4 percent of the City's land, and approximately 1/3 of the PUD district is also devoted to residential use, which increases the total residential land use in the City to 53.2 percent. Approximately 6.04 percent of the City is devoted to commercial use. The commercial zoning district itself comprises approximately 2.43 percent of the City's land, and approximately 2/3 of the PUD district is also devoted to commercial use, which increases the total commercial land use in the City to 6.04 percent. • Approximately 4.99 percent of the City is devoted to light industrial use, all of it exclusively located within the City's light industrial zoning district. • Section 3.7 provides a table of data showing the acreage and percentage of total land use for each of the City's zoning districts. Because the City has little of its space devoted to, and available for, commercial or light industrial use, it is important that the City properly determines what types of permitted or conditional uses may exist within these valuable zoning districts. -4- STUDY OF ASSEMBLIES, MEETING LODGES, AND CONVENTION HALLS CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE
