Chapter 17.12 — COMMERCIAL, OFFICE, AND INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS — Jackson Zoning Code

§ 17.12.010. Purpose of Chapter. ¶

This Chapter provides regulations applicable to existing development and new land uses in the commercial, office, and industrial zoning districts established by Section 17.06.020 (Zoning Districts Established).

§ 17.12.020. Purposes of Commercial, Office, and Industrial Districts. ¶

The purposes of the individual commercial, office, and manufacturing/industrial zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are as follows. Commercial land use designations are also hierarchical. Hierarchical means less intense commercial uses will be allowed in each designation. Residential uses will be allowed as specified in each designation. The standards in Table 2-3 will apply to any residential development in the Commercial, Office, and Industrial Zones.

The hierarchy from less to more intense is as follows: PO, LC, HC, C, and I .

A. PO - Professional Offce. The professional office designation is intended for low intensity "soft commercial" land uses such as medical and legal offices. Minimum parcel or lot size is 8,000 square feet. Dwelling units shall be allowed within this designation.
B. LC - Limited Commercial. The "LC" designation is intended to accommodate existing business within predominantly residential neighborhoods. Limited Commercial allows for any use allowed

in the Commercial (C) designation with the exception of those which generate high volumes of traffic or noise. Minimum parcel or lot size is 8,000 square feet. Dwelling units are allowed in areas with the "LC" designation.

C. HC - Historic Commercial. The "HC" designation is applied to the downtown area of the City where the bulk of the commercial activities are related to tourism and the buildings are historic. Proposed uses in the HC land use designation would include any use allowed in the Limited Commercial and Professional Office designations along with retail or wholesale stores or businesses not involving any kind of manufacture, processing or treatment of products other than that which is clearly incidental to the retail business conducted on the premises. Residential uses are allowed within this designation.
D. C - Commercial. The "C" designation is applied to those areas of the City where retail, commercial and professional business services are acceptable. Minimum lot size is 8,000 square feet. Residential uses are allowed only with a Conditional Use Permit.
E. I - Industrial. The industrial designation is intended for land which is suitable for manufacturing and light industrial uses. Residential uses may be allowed in an area designated industrial with a Conditional Use Permit. Minimum lot size is 8,000 square feet.

§ 17.12.030. Commercial, Office and Industrial District Land Uses and Permit Requirements. ¶

General land use permit requirements. Table 2-4 identifies the uses of land allowed by this Development Code in the commercial, office, and manufacturing/industrial zoning districts, and the land use permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Section 17.06.040 (Zoning District Regulations).
