Sec. 15.04.150. Special use combining district, SU. It is the purpose of the SU district to provide for special controls for certain uses which do not clearly fit into other districts, which may be due to technological and social changes, or which are of such unique character as to warrant special attention in the interest of the city's optimum development and the preservation and enhancement of its environmental quality. A special use combining district is imposed on an existing zoning district, permitting the special use as well as uses permitted by the underlying zone. The combining district becomes void if substantial construction has not begun within a one-year period, and the district reverts to its original zoning designation. It is the intent of the special use combining regulations to provide the city with adequate procedures for controlling and reviewing such uses and to discourage application for speculative rezoning. A. Uses subject to special use combining district regulations. The following list is illustrative of the types of uses subject to special use combining district regulations and is not intended to be exclusive: 1. Uses which occupy or would occupy large areas of land. 2. Uses which would involve the construction of buildings or other structures of unusual height or mass. 3. Uses which house, employ, or serve large numbers of people. 4. Uses which generate heavy traffic. 66 Zoning Code Amendment Ordinance 5. Uses which have unusual impact on environmental quality of the area. 6. Any use which does not lend itself to an interpretation of substantial similarity to other uses identified or described in this title. 7. Uses which, in the judgment of the planning manager, warrant review by the land use and planning board and the city council. 8. Examples of uses subject to review as described in this subsection would include but are not limited to the following: a. Commercial uses: sports stadiums, rodeos, fairgrounds, exhibition or convention halls, merchandise marts, and drive- in theaters. b. Special environmental problems posed by: refineries, nuclear power generating plants, airports, heliports, sanitary landfills, extractive industries, solid waste incinerators, or energy/resource recovery facilities. C. Hazardous wastes: offsite hazardous waste treatment or storage facilities in M1 and M2 districts only, subject to the provisions of KCC 15.08.050. B. Application procedures. The application procedure for a special use combining district shall be the same as for an amendment to this title as provided in KCC 15.09.050, except that development plan approval is concurrent with the combining district. C. Documentation required. Required documentation is as follows: 1. A vicinity map drawn to a scale not smaller than one thousand —(1,96) feet to the inch showing the site in relation to its surrounding area, including streets, roads, streams, or other bodies of water, the development characteristics and zoning pattern of the area, 67 Zoning Code Amendment Ordinance and a scale and north arrow. The vicinity map may be in sketch form but shall be drawn with sufficient accuracy to reasonably orient the reader to the vicinity, and to adequately convey the required information. 2. A map or drawing of the site drawn to a scale acceptable to the planning services, generally one hundred (100) feet to the inch. The map or drawing shall show the following information: a. Dimensions and names of streets bounding or touching the site. b. Such existing or proposed features as streams or other bodies of water, rights-of-way, easements, and other physical or legal features which may affect or be affected by the proposed development. C.

Architectural renderings of buildings. It. A written statement providing the following information: timing. development.
