  § 4.6. INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT  

Latest version.

  • 4.6.1

    Intent Statement

    This Institutional District (N1) is designed to provide accommodations for all uses necessary for the operation of large institutional uses, including universities, colleges and hospitals. The regulations are written so as to produce a self-contained campus development, providing all of the land uses needed for the operation of the institution, and accessory uses, including off-street parking, setbacks, open areas, etc., all in accordance with an Official Development Plan adopted for the entire property within each Institutional District. Such plan shall be adopted as provided in 2.10.

    4.6.2

    Permitted Land Uses

    A.

    Permitted uses by zoning district are set forth in Chapter 5.0, Permitted Land Uses.

    B.

    All lawful uses in the area designated as part of the N1 district which were in existence on the effective date of this development code may be continued as a special use, until such time as an official development plan is approved for the relevant area within the district. Such uses may not be modified in any way without adoption of an official development plan for the relevant area. It is anticipated that one or more official development plans will be developed and approved for each area within the N1 District.

    C.

    Subsequent to the effective date of this development code, no area not within the N1 District as of the effective date of this development code shall be designated as part of the N1 District unless such area is also designated in an approved official development plan.

    4.6.3

    Site Plan Review

    All development in the N1 District shall be subject to the site plan review process as set forth in 2.1.3, Development Review Board.

    4.6.4

    Building Envelope Standards

    Structures, parking, and vehicle areas in the N1 District shall meet the applicable building envelope standards as set forth below.

    A.

    Yards

    1.

    The required yards in the N1 District shall be as follows:

    Standard Lot Front and Corner
    Side Yard (1)     		Interior Side Yard Rear Yard
    Residential building 25 feet 5 feet 20 feet
    Nonresidential building 25 feet 20 feet 20 feet
    Parking 25 feet 5 feet 5 feet
    Transitional Buffer Yard — As set forth in 8.2.9
    Abutting Residential
    (1)  This yard may be observed only when no other lots with frontage on this street have, or have the ability to have, a building fronting on this street.

     

    2.

    Different distances between buildings and different provisions of open space may be specified on the official development plan in lieu of the above requirements, providing that perimeter yards shall be no less than 25 feet deep, or, if at least 50% of the block is developed on the effective date of this development code, the perimeter yard shall be the average of the existing setbacks or 25 feet, whichever is less. The minimum perimeter requirement may be varied when the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends and the City Council grants a variance reducing such requirement and makes the findings required for the grant of a variance under the provisions of this development code.

    B.

    Building Height

    No building in the N1 District shall exceed 132 feet in height.

    4.6.5

    Required Open Space

    A.

    Any portion of an N1 District which is within 25 feet and adjacent to a boundary of an N1 District, or a street or alley which serves as the boundary of an N1 District, shall be preserved as landscaped open space. This requirement shall not apply to any structure, or parking in existence on the effective date of this development code.

    B.

    In determining the required open space no right-of-way or parking shall be included in the measurement of the required 25 feet.

    C.

    After the effective date of this development code, no structure shall be erected within the required landscaped open space, and no new parking spaces shall be constructed within the required landscaped open space.

    4.6.6

    Off-Street Parking and Loading

    The parking and loading requirements shall be as specified in 8.1, or as otherwise specified in the relevant Official Development Plan. It is recognized that at various stages of campus development the land uses and the off-street parking spaces required for the same, may not be exactly in balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Official Development Plan shall provide for an amount of parking which would be equal to or greater than the parking for the area specified in such plan which would be required under the provisions of 8.1. It is further provided that such overall required parking may be reduced in cases where the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends and the City Council grants a variance reducing such overall parking requirement and makes the findings required for the grant of a variance under the provisions of this development code.
