Ordinance No. 0349 10-03-1966QRDINANCE N0. 349 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 45 OF THE CODE OF TNE CITY OF FRIDZEY BY PROVIDING FOR A NEW ZONING DIS7RICT (PD - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT � MULTIPLE DWELLINGS AND COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS) AND PROVIDING REGULATIONS, CONTROLS AND STANDARDS THEREFOR, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PRIDLEY DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: That Chapter 45 of the City Code of the City of Ffidley be a�s�nded by adding Section 45.131 which shall read as follows: 45.131. The objective in establishing a PD District is to eliminate the commingling of different, incompatible uses in oae zoning classification, Such commingliag causes harm to surxounding properties hecause of the possi- bility that the commercially zoned will be used for a use different from the particular use contemplated at the time of enactment of the ordinance zoning the property for commercial use. There is a need to separate different commercial uses in terms of the market area and consumer needs which they serve rather than solely in terms of the physical dimensions and appearance of the structures. Such separation encourages planned development of "shopping centers" and encourages commercial development in locations which will best serve the public demand for service and commercial districts, There is a need to limit commercial development to planned and integrated commercial centers, unless the proposed commercial district is merely an addition to an existing commercial district. Such a planned commercial center, located on a substantial parcel of property, enhances the puhlic welfare because it results in the least possible breakdown of channels of traffic, constitutes the least possible nuisance to surrounding property and is less 1ikely than isolated commercial enterprises to be abandoned or not cared for and is less likely to lead to blight, � It is therefore the purpose of this ordinance to provide for the health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity and general welfare by setting forth Y � in this ordinance all of the regulations and procedures in connection with the zoning of property for a planned development use. 1. Intent. The Planned Development District is an area, the development of which, is in accord with a pre-determined comprehensive plan approved by the City Council.
