§ 16-5-140. TR - Transitional District.

(a)

Intent. This zoning district is intended to encompass existing areas containing a mixture of residential and commercial and/or light industrial uses or areas which are currently older neighborhoods of mostly nonconforming residential structures immediately adjacent to expanding commercial and/or light industrial areas and where it is anticipated the neighborhood will transform over time to consist of entirely, or almost entirely, commercial or light industrial uses. All new uses and expansion of existing uses shall require processing as a conditional use.

(b)

Principal uses. Permitted principal uses in the TR District shall be as follows:

(1)

Accessory buildings and accessory uses.

(2)

All existing legal uses as of the date of adoption of this Code shall be considered conforming uses on the lots on which they exist.

(c)

Limitations. Any use in this District shall conform to the following requirements:

(1)

All manufacturing and similar uses shall be carried on entirely within a completely enclosed structure.

(2)

Dust, fumes, odors, smoke, vapors and noise shall be confined to the site and be controlled in accordance with the state air pollution laws.

(3)

Approved outdoor storage areas, equipment and refuse areas shall be concealed from view from abutting rights-of-way and from adjoining residential districts.

(4)

Travel and parking portions of the lot shall be surfaced with asphalt, concrete, compressed gravel or equivalent maintainable surfacing with erosion control.

(5)

Light fixtures in parking areas shall be hooded and mounted not more than twenty-five (25) feet above the ground level and oriented in such a manner so as not to shine into residential areas. Lighting shall conform to the requirements in Section 16-3-450 of this Code.

(d)

Conditional uses. Permitted conditional uses in the TR District shall be as follows: All permitted principal uses in the R-1, R-2, R-3, C-1, C-2 and LI zones. In considering a proposed new or expanded use in the TR District, the Planning Commission shall consider impacts on existing residential uses and compatibility with other commercial and light industrial uses, with due consideration of the future land use of the area.
