Chapter 17.45
CENTRAL BUSINESS OVERLAY DISTRICT
Sections:
17.45.050 Development standards.
17.45.010 Purpose.
The purpose of the central business overlay district is to provide regulations that reinforce a positive public image and confidence in commercial activities within the geographical area of the city described in GMC 17.45.020. The intent of this chapter is to preserve public and private investment in property and infrastructure by restricting or prohibiting certain land uses. (Ord. 2011-29 § 5 (Att. B)).
17.45.020 Applicability.
This chapter shall only apply to those lands identified as the “Central Business District” in the map below:
(Ord. 2011-29 § 5 (Att. B)).
17.45.030 Use in combination.
This chapter shall be used in addition to and in combination with all other district and development regulations contained in this title as they apply to the lands described in GMC 17.45.020. The requirements of this chapter shall take precedence over the requirements of the underlying district regulations. (Ord. 2011-29 § 5 (Att. B)).
17.45.040 Prohibited uses.
Evidence received by the planning commission demonstrated that certain land uses make the central business district of the city, as defined in GMC 17.45.020, less desirable or attractive to the public due to a demonstrated history of and contribution to general public disorder, loitering, nuisance and other acts detrimental to the public image of the area. Certain other uses do not encourage the grouping of complementary and compatible uses as envisioned by the comprehensive plan.
The following listed uses, for reasons explained above, inhibit new business growth, contribute to business loss and decline of property values, inhibit convenient access to desired businesses, do not foster the complementary grouping of businesses, or perpetuate a public image which is undesirable or unattractive and detrimental to public and private investment in business areas and, therefore, are prohibited as follows:
A. Community service facilities level two as defined in GMC 17.12.156 are prohibited in all districts within the geographic area described in GMC 17.45.020.
B. Adult use businesses are prohibited in all districts within the geographic area described in GMC 17.45.020.
