SV-4 Spanish Valley Business Flex Planned Community (BF) District

An ordinance clarifying the specific uses and relationships of uses within the Business Flex Planned Community (BF) District (BF Zone). Unless specifically mentioned in this chapter, the requirements for Planned Community development detailed for the PC Zone shall apply. See proposed Spanish Valley Zoning Map for applicable locations. Permitted Uses A wide-range of business operations shall be the primary uses. These shall include business parks, large-format commercial and office uses, ancillary and support uses and smaller-scale commercial uses as appropriate. A range of residential uses, including employee housing, shortterm visitor housing and similar specialty residential uses may be included as part of large-scale, coordinated and flexible business-centric developments within the BF Zone. Conditional Uses None. Uses Subject to the Spanish Valley Overnight Accommodations Overlay • Hotels and Motels • Commercial Condominiums for short-term rentals • Bed and Breakfasts (B&Bs), lodges and resorts • Commercial campgrounds for motorized and/or non-motorized users • All other variations of overnight accommodations intended for nightly rentals2 Development Standards The following development standards shall apply in addition to and/or in conjunction with the standards established for Planned Community developments: 1. No business or commercial uses shall be permitted within 500 feet of an adjacent residential district. Residential uses are permitted throughout the BF District but should be concentrated in the eastern extents of the area to provide transitions with nearby and adjacent residential neighborhoods and uses. 2. Maximum building height should generally be a maximum of three stories or 35 feet. This will help preserve views and reduce the visual impact of BF Zone development. 3. A minimum 50-foot buffer shall be provided between Business Flex uses and the top of bank for the Pack Creek drainage; a minimum buffer of 25 feet shall be provided between Business Flex uses and top of bank for smaller drainages. 2 Overnight rentals in residential neighborhoods and other zones of the Spanish Valley Zoning Map are addressed in separate San Juan County ordinances. 4. One truck stop is specifically permitted as a conditional use in this Business Flex district south of Pack Creek Cutoff Road. No residential use shall be permitted within 500 feet of this use. Specific site development and environmental controls shall be established as part of approving the preliminary and final plat plan, with a requirement of protecting the health, safety and welfare of the community.
