The board of zoning adjustment shall not permit, as a variance, any use in a zone that is not permitted under this chapter. The board of zoning adjustment may impose conditions in the granting of a variance to ensure compliance and to protect adjacent property.

(2) Variances.
(a) The board may grant upon application in specific cases such variances from the bulk or area regulations of this chapter as will not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this chapter would result in unnecessary hardship. A variance from the terms of this chapter shall not be granted by the board unless and until:
1. A written application for a variance is submitted demonstrating:
a. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or building in the same district.
b. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this chapter.
c. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.
d. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this chapter to other lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance.
e. No nonconforming use of adjacent lands, structures, or buildings in the same district, and no permitted or nonconforming use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance.
2. The public hearing shall be held and public notice shall be given as set forth in subsection b. above.
a. To grant a variance the board must find that the requirements of subsection d.(2)(a)1. have been met by the applicant for a variance.

c. That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this ordinance, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
3. In granting any variance, the board may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards in conformity with this chapter. Violation of such conditions and safeguards, when made a part of the terms under which the variance is granted, shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.
4. Under no circumstances shall the board grant a variance to allow a use not permissible under the terms of this ordinance in the district involved, or any use expressly or by implication prohibited by terms of this chapter is said district.
5. Under no circumstances shall the action of the board be considered to grant a variance of any provision of any other protective code adopted by the city.
(b) The board may grant, as a hardship variance, relief to any property owner who has a vested interest in a previously devised plan which conformed to the chapter in effect prior to the passage of this chapter. The owner must show proof of the previous intent including, but not limited to, development plans and specifications for that specific site. The board will not allow as a part of this process any use in any zone which is not allowed within that zone.
e. Appeals. Any persons or person, or any board, taxpayer, department, or board of the city aggrieved by any decision of the board of adjustment may seek review by a court of record of such decision, in the manner provided by the laws of the state.
f. Duties of planning and community development director, board of adjustment, city council and courts on matters on appeal. It is the intent of this chapter that all questions of interpretation and enforcement shall be first present to the planning and community development director, and that such questions shall be presented to the board only on appeal from the decision of the planning and community development director, and that recourse from the decision of the board shall be to the courts as provided by state law.

1. The name of the record title holder of the property provided by a copy of the warranty deed and the intended grantees if the property is subject to contract sale or title is to be otherwise conveyed.
2. The zoning classification request for the property.
3. A brief statement explaining the reason for the rezoning request, the intended use of the property, and the effect of property changes upon the surrounding land uses.
4. A layman's description of the property.
5. If the property to be rezoned is to be only a portion of the land described on the warranty deed then an accurate legal description provided by a copy of a recent survey certified by a registered land surveyor will be required.
6. A scaled drawing of the property to be rezoned showing accurate lot lines, surrounding zoning, adjacent property owners names, vicinity map, and a north arrow.
7. Evidence in the form of a signed affidavit, that notice has been given to all adjacent property owners of the project subject to the rezoning after the application has been accepted and placed on the planning commission agenda. The petitioner shall be responsible for providing such notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of such record owner(s) as certified by a licensed abstractor or a licensed land surveyor within the past sixty (60) days.
8. The required affidavit and supporting exhibits (mailing receipts, list of adjacent property owners and copy of notice) shall be filed with the planning office no later than seven (7) days prior to the meeting date.
c. Public hearing. Upon receipt of a petition for an amendment, the planning commission shall hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment, after:
1. A notice has been published in a newspaper of general circulation in the city at least one time fifteen (15) days prior to the public hearing, which notice sets forth the time and place of such hearing and the amendment proposal.
2. The city has posted at least one (1) sign on the project subject to the rezoning hearing, at least ten (10) days before the hearing. Each sign shall be no smaller than two (2) feet wide by three (3) feet long and shall contain the words: REZONING HEARING ON THIS PROPERTY, printed in bold block letters a minimum of three (3) inches high. A copy of the public notice concerning the re-zoning petition shall be placed on the sign in a clear, weatherproof enclosure.

4. The petitioner shall be present at the meeting for the matter to be considered. If the applicant is unable to attend, written authorization from the petitioner authorizing representation must be presented to the commission for the matter to be considered. Any decisions made by the designated agent shall be binding on the landowner.
d. Action by the planning commission.
1. The planning commission shall hear the petitioner's request for rezoning at the public hearing and shall consider the petitioner's purposes for the re-zoning request as well as public comments. The amendment, as presented or modified by the action following the public hearing, shall be voted on by the planning commission or tabled for further action. If recommendation for approval is granted by the planning commission, the matter will be referred to the city council in the form of an ordinance, (ordinance to be prepared by staff), for the approval of the city council.
2. Should the planning commission determine a lesser impacting zone would be more appropriate to meet the purposes of the petitioner and would cause less impact on the neighboring parties, the commission is empowered to reduce the zoning classification requested to a different classification, if the petitioner concurs. After consideration of comments from the public, the commission may vote thereon without the necessity of further publication notice. Any change in zoning classification to a higher or more impacting zone would require notice be republished and a public hearing to be held again.
3. The petitioner's request for rezoning may be tabled one time to a later meeting only by action of the planning commission and only after the commission has heard comments from adjacent property owners and interested parties. Tabling a petition one time by the planning commission will not require an additional filing fee or re-notification. Should the petition be tabled again, it will be treated as a withdrawal of the rezoning request, and will require the refilling of the petition complete with an additional filing fee and proper re-notifications before the matter will be placed on the agenda.
4. If a petitioner would like to withdraw a request, the petitioner may do so at the public hearing or in writing prior to the meeting. Withdrawal by a petitioner will require the refiling of the application complete with an additional filing fee and proper re-notifications before the matter will be placed on the agenda.
e. Action by the city council. The city council, by majority vote, may by ordinance adopt the recommended amendment submitted by the planning commission or may return the proposed amendment to the planning commission for further study and recommendation. If action is not taken by the city council within sixty (60) days of the planning commission's submission of the proposed amendment to the city council, then the applicant shall be required to re-petition for a zoning change.
f. Appeal by petition to the city council. Following disapproval of a proposed amendment by the planning commission, the petitioner may appeal such disapproval to the city council, provided that the petitioner states specifically in writing to the city clerk why the petitioner considers the planning commission's findings and decisions to be in error. Such appeal shall be filed with the city clerk within fifteen (15) days from the date of the planning commission action along with an affidavit stating that adjacent property owners have been notified of the appeal to the city council. The appeal will be placed on the city council agenda no later than the second meeting following the filing of the appeal. The petitioner shall be present at the meeting for the matter to be considered. If the petitioner is unable to attend, written authorization from the petitioner authorizing representation must be presented to the council for the matter to be considered. The city council may approve the proposed amendment only by majority vote of all the members.
g. Re-petitions for amendment. No zoning amendment for a specific zone change which was denied shall be resubmitted within twelve (12) months from the date of final disapproval of a proposed amendment unless there is evidence submitted to the planning commission which justifies reconsideration.
11.2 Amendment procedures initiated by the city council. When the city council desires to initiate amendments to the ordinance, such proposals shall be referred to the planning commission for study and recommendations.

(Ord. No. 3307, 3-25-03; Ord. No. 3373, § 1, 9-9-03; Ord. No. 3865, § 1, 4-11-06)
Sec. 12. Conditional uses on appeal to planning commission.
The planning commission shall hear at a scheduled public hearing only such conditional use as is specifically authorized to pass on by the terms of article 4 of this chapter; shall decide such questions as are involved in determining whether such conditional uses shall be recommended for approval to the city council; and shall recommend approval, modify or deny conditional uses at its discretion with the conditions and safeguards as are appropriate under this ordinance. Approval of a conditional use shall not be granted as a matter of right, but shall be granted only in situations where said use is in harmony with the character of the neighborhood and zone in which it shall be located. Once a conditional use is approved that conditional use is personal to the applicant and is limited to the location to which it was approved and may only be changed to another conditional use through further action of the planning commission and the city council. Once a conditional use is approved that use may continue so long as it abides by the findings of this subsection and any special conditions placed upon the use by the planning commission and the city council.
If a complaint is filed with the planning commission by an adjoining property owner or city employee concerning an alleged violation of a conditional use, the planning commission shall notify the property owner of the complaint and schedule a public hearing. If after the public hearing the planning commission finds a violation to exist and that violation is not corrected within thirty (30) days, the planning commission may vote to discontinue the conditional use. The property owner shall be notified of the action of the planning commission and shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of the notice to discontinue the use or file and appeal with the city council. The filing of an appeal stays all proceeding and the city council shall make the final determination.
A conditional use may be changed to a use by right in the zoning district upon approval by the planning commission and the city council. The conditional use application shall indicate that the applicant is requesting that the conditional use be made a use by right on the subject property and the planning commission shall recommend approval, modify or deny the use by right at its discretion with the conditions and safeguards as are appropriate under this section.
Under no circumstances shall any action of the planning commission or city council be considered as the granting of a variance of any provision of any other protective code adopted by the city.
The following procedures shall be followed before a conditional use may be granted:
a. Written application. A written application for a conditional use shall be submitted to the planning director with a fee, as determined by resolution of the city council, to recover costs of public notices and other expenses, and shall contain the following information:

Sec. 13. Site plan review.
The purpose of this section is to set forth procedures for processing site plans and to establish standards for development within those districts which require regulation by this section. Site plan review is a development review process that provides for case by case consideration of project particulars including but not limited to the provision of parking and landscaping, drainage, siting of buildings, and the compatibility of the proposed development with adjacent uses.
All development shall be designed in such a way as to minimize any potential adverse impact on the surrounding area. Special attention shall be given to buffering multi-family, commercial and industrial developments from adjacent single-family areas. Design of the internal street system, ingress and egress, off-street parking, loading and pedestrian ways shall be sensitive to such conditions as safety, convenience, separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, general attractiveness, and the proper relationship of different land uses. Landscaped areas shall be provided to reduce erosion, heat and glare, and said areas shall be maintained in an attractive condition. Existing trees on a development site shall be retained when possible. Screening, open space or other buffer may be required to give adequate separation between uses which are not compatible and shall also be provided for the beautification and enhancement of the property.
a. Applicable districts. The site plan review process shall apply to all conditional uses as specified in each of the zoning districts in article 4.
b. Procedure and authority. The planning commission shall review site plans for a conditional use. The plan will be assessed for compatibility with standards and criteria provided herein. Public hearing of a site plan proposal shall take place at scheduled meetings at which time interested persons may appear and offer information in support of or against the proposed site plan. The planning commission, following the public hearing, may then take one of the following steps: approve the site plan as submitted; approve the site plan with modifications; or deny the site plan.
In addition to the special requirements of this section, the planning commission may impose on a site plan such additional requirements as are necessary to safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare. The planning commission may require the applicant to submit a revised site plan incorporating the imposed requirements and modifications or may elect to approve a site plan on the contingency the requirements and modifications will be made.
c. Initiation. Any application for a conditional use which involves site plan review may be initiated by the owner or other person having a contractual interest in the property, or by the authorized agent of such owner or person.
d. Submission requirements.
1. Drawings. The developer shall submit the following drawings at a scale of one (1) inch equals one hundred (100) feet or larger on a maximum sheet size of twenty-four (24) inches by thirty-six (36) inches (the planning and community development director or his/her designated representative may approve other sizes and scales in special cases):
