Dear BZA board members;
Please keep these Zoning Ordinance code sections that are relevant to Appeal 2020-3
North
Pointe handy for the December 1st BZA meeting along with the other code sections I
have
already sent. You may wish to print some of them and have them by your side at the
meeting.
Sections 33.40, 21.2, 25A.4.1, 31.5 and 25A.1 especially.
Thank you for your time and consideration
Stewart Wright
Sec. 2SAA1- Vehicular access.
Vehicular access points shall be designed to encourage smooth traffic flow with controlled turning
movements and minimum hazards to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Pavement widths and strengths of
both internal and external roads shall be adequate to accommodate projected traffic generated from
the district.
Primary access shall be provided from roads of adequate available capacity to accommodate projected
traffic. Vehicular access from minor streets through residential neighborhoods shall be generally
discouraged, and where permitted, shall be primarily for the convenience of residential areas served
directly by such roads and not for general public access. Direct access by individual uses to existing
public roads shall be discouraged. Uses shall be served by an internal road system to the maximum
extent possible. Intersections of the internal road system and existing public roads shall be permitted to
the extent necessary to provide reasonable access and service to uses contained within the PD-MC
district.
Sec. 25AA - Intent, where permitted.
PD-MC districts are hereby created and may hereafter be established by amendment of the zoning map
to permit development of large-scale commercial areas with a broad range of commercial uses under a
unified planned approach. It is intended that PD-MC districts be established on major highways in the
urban area and communities in the comprehensive plan. In recognition that such large-scale
development may substantially reduce the functional integrity and safety of public roads if permitted
with unplanned access, it is intended that multiple access to existing public roads be discouraged and
that development and access be oriented toward an internal road system having carefully planned
intersections with existing public roads
Sec. 21.2 - Permitted accessory uses and structures.
Uses and structures which are customarily accessory and clearly incidental shall be permitted, provided
establishment of the same shall not be permitted until construction has commenced on the principal
building or the principal use has been established; and provided further that in no case shall a parking
structure other than a parking lot or garage located entirely at and/or below grade, be deemed to be
accessory to any use in any commercial district. In no case shall a drive-in window be deemed to be
accessory to any use in any commercial district.
