§ 122-1194. Single-family residences in B-4 and B-5 districts.

(a)

After giving public notice and holding a public hearing, the planning and zoning commission, with the approval and consent of the city council, may permit the construction of a single-family residence on a lot in a general business (B-4) district or on a lot in a wholesale business (B-5) district, providing:

(1)

Only one such residence shall be erected on any parcel of land in the same ownership.

(2)

Yards shall be provided as for a single-family residence in the two-family residential (R-2) district.

(3)

A site plan shall be submitted with the request. Site plan approval shall be governed by article IV of this chapter.

(4)

The planning and zoning commission shall find, as a prerequisite of the approval of the permit, that there are not factors of health, safety or morals which should prevent the issuance of the permit by reason of existing commercial activity in the immediate area surrounding the lot on which the erection of a single-family residence is sought.

(b)

An attached single-family residence may be allowed in conjunction with a commercial use, if it is attached and incidental to the main use. This residence shall be occupied by an owner, security personnel, an employee or an operator. The procedure for issuance of a building permit shall be the same as in subsections (a)(1), (3) and (4) of this section, except no public hearing before the planning and zoning commission shall be required. This activity shall be allowed in B-4 and B-5 zoning districts.

(c)

This section may be referred to in article V, division 2 of this chapter by the number "18."
