AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODIFIED
ORDINANCES OF THE VILLAGE OF DUBLIN
BY PROPOSING A NEW SECTION 1181.09
PLANNED COMMERCE DISTRICT.

current development trends; and
WHEREAS, the Purpose Statement of the amendment represents a legislative
intention;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the Village of Dublin.
State of Ohio, 6 members concurring, that:
SECTION 1.
(a) PURPOSE
The Planned Commerce District (PCD) regulations are based on the premise
that the ultimate quality of an environment or development proposal is
determined not only by the type, character and allocation of land uses, but
also by the way in which such land uses are executed. The procedures con-
tained in this Chapter were designed to encourage imaginative architectural
design, flexibil i ty in building styles and types, proper relationships bet-
ween buildings and the land and to permit development of the land in an
orderly, coordinated and comprehensive manner consistent with accepted land
planning, landscape architecture practices and engineering principles under
conditions of approved site plans and development plans.
The purpose of the Planned Commerce District regulations is to:
(1) Provide an opportunity for a mix of land uses otherwise not
permitted within the standard Village of Dublin zoning district
classifications.
(2) Allow the creation of development standards that respect the
unique characteristics of the site and the immediate vicinity.
(3 ) Assure compatibility of land uses with surrounding development.
(4) Assure compatibility between proposed land uses within the
Planned Commerce District through consistent development
controls.
(5) Pursues the economic development goals of the Municipality.
(6) Establish objective criteria for Composite Plan and Development
Plan review that ensures conformity to community and district
standards and allows consistent treatment throughout.
(b) DEFINITIONS
Anc i llary Uses: Uses that do not strictly come within the definition of a
primary use but which are customarily associated with the primary use and
constitute a comparatively minor part of the total use. An example of an
ancillary use would be a medical pharmacy in a medical office complex.
I Commercial Uses: Uses that are characteristically highly accessible and
visible uses including banks and financial institutions, general merchan-
I dising, grocery store/supermarkets, convenient stores, laundries, dry
cleaners, light mechanical repair shops, (e.g. watch, shoe repair, etc.) ,
I beverage stores, sit down and fast food restaurants without drive-in uses,
retail sales, indoor recreation facilities, entertainment facilities,
i integrated shopping centers, and all other commercial and entertainment
