§ 1242.01. Conservation district (C).

(a)

Description: The conservation district encompasses areas that are presently underdeveloped or sparsely developed and that, for various reasons, should remain so for the foreseeable future. Some tracts of land in this district are fertile and relatively level and best suited for agricultural development. Other tracts within this district have such poor soils, steep slopes, inadequate natural drainage and or other problems - or are simply so distant from existing developed areas that the provision and maintenance of roads, utilities and stormwater drainage systems would be impractical or burdensomely expensive to the tax paying public.

(b)

Permitted uses: There shall be no permitted uses.

(c)

Special uses: The following uses may be allowed by special use permit:

(1)

Any use permitted in an R-1 single-family residence district (see subsection 1242.02.2(b)(7) of this chapter).

(2)

Agricultural uses, including expansion of existing uses or new uses. (Land being used for agricultural purposes in this district or any other classification at the time of its annexation to the city may continue that use under provisions of a nonconforming use.)

(d)

Lot and building requirements:

(1)

Lot size: No new zoning lot less than five acres may be established after the annexation procedures have begun.

(2)

Dwelling standards: Same as the R-1 district (see subsection 1242.02.2(b)(1) of this chapter).

(3)

Yard requirements: Same as the R-1 district (see subsection 1242.02(b)(4)C of this chapter).

(4)

Maximum floor ratio: Same as the R-1 district (see subsection 1242.02.2(b)(4)E of this chapter).

(5)

Signs: See Street graphics control ordinance (chapter 94).
