SECTION 3: To amend, format and codify ARTICLE III, of the Lincoln Zoning Ordinance No.
2015-111 to add Section 305.14 Resort Commercial (RC). and the section read as follows:
a. New development standard for the city. ‘This district is designed to accommodate
new market concepts by encouraging mixed residential, hospitality andcommercial development. This would include resort guest-oriented (hospitality)
and commercial uses in a suburban setting. Particular uses and provisions are
described in this District to encourage development, those uses and provisions not
described in this District to encourage development, those uses and provisions not
described shall follow provisions described in the other areas of the Ordinance. In
particular this is to permit a commercial and a residential use to occupy the same
building, such as a restaurant or offices on the main level and residential use on
upper floors.
Intent ~ The intent of this district is to recognize current developments on sites in
addition to the potential for and encouragement of other uses which may be
market indicated. In particular there is a noticeable shortage of multi-family
housing in this market. This district may apply to areas with heavy traffic along
frontage highways which would be discouraging for single family homes. Such
as areas that have long been a primary area for manufactured homes and
recreational vehicles, An important aspect of this district is to permit a very wide
variety of uses to reflect the changing market demand for residents and visitors
for living and recreations.
While zoning tends to classify particular and like uses and activities that are
recognized as long standing uses this Development District is intended to provide
areas for new and innovative market activities that develop as a result of market
changes, growth and changing demographics. In effect, this Development District,
provides a venue for as yet unidentified needs of the community and some
existing and early development trends.
