For the purposes of this section, group homes are classified as follows:

    1.

    Type I: A home of not more than six residents which is licensed to serve clients of the state department of children and family services, and which provides a living environment for residents who operate as the functional equivalent of a family, including such supervision and care by supportive staff as may be necessary to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of the residents. Such homes which otherwise satisfy the provisions of this section shall be allowed in any single-family or multifamily zoning district without the prior approval of the city; provided, however, that no such home shall be located within a radius of 1,000 feet of another type I group home or within a radius of 1,200 feet of a type II, type III or type V group home.

    2.

    Type II: A home with no less than seven or more than 14 residents which is licensed to serve clients of the state department of children and family services, and which provides a living environment for residents who operate as the functional equivalent of a family, including such supervision and care by supportive staff as may be necessary to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of the residents. No such home shall be located within a radius of 1,200 feet of a type I, type II, type III or type V group home.

    3.

    2.

    c.

    Additional standards. The additional standards set forth in subsection (d)(28)c.1—9 of this section shall apply only to group homes permitted as a Class B special use.

    1.

    Residential character/district compatibility. If a group home is located within a residential district, it shall be maintained to conform to the character of that neighborhood. This standard applies to design, density, lot size, landscaping, or other factors affecting the neighborhood's character. This will prevent disruption of a neighborhood due to the introduction of a dissimilar structure.

    2.

    A group home facility shall be located a minimum of 1,200 feet from another such facility; provided, however, that this standard shall not apply between any group home facilities when both of such facilities are located entirely within the community service (CS) zoning district.

    3.

    No signs denoting the name and/or purpose of a special residential use shall be allowed in any residential district.

    8.

    Parking shall be provided pursuant to article XV of this chapter.

    Urban Market Gardens (Commercial only):

    i.

    Purpose and intent. To ensure that urban market garden areas are appropriately located and protected to meet the needs for local food production, reduce "distance to plate", and to enhance community health, community education, garden-related job training, natural resource protection, preservation of green space, and community enjoyment. Because urban market gardens will typically exist in close proximity to residential and other uses, consideration will be given to ensuring compatibility between uses. Urban market gardens are encouraged to practice organic farming methods to minimize their impacts on the environment and to further sustainable communities.

    ii.

    Exception. This section pertains to urban market gardens that are a primary or accessory use on the property and where crops are grown on site. It does not apply to nurseries, botanical gardens or other uses that are otherwise listed in the zoning and land development regulations.

    i.

    Abandonment—In the event that the urban market garden use is not in operation for 60 consecutive days, the approval for use as an urban garden market shall expire and the site shall be restored pursuant to section 94-450; and,

    ii.

    Class B special use permit abandonment—If the urban market garden use was approved through a Class B Special Use Permit and such use abandoned for 60 consecutive days, then the Class B Special Use Permit shall be terminated and the site shall be restored in accordance to section 94-450.

    If any historical sources of contamination are identified in the environmental site assessment, the applicant shall conduct all appropriate testing to determine the type and level of contamination, and conduct the appropriate remediation procedures to ensure that soil is suitable for gardening.

    7.

    Operation limitations. No gardening activities shall take place before sunrise or after sunset. The sale of produce shall not take place after 9:00 p.m. Motorized-powered equipment for cultivating or maintenance purposes of greater than ten-horsepower is prohibited.
