Sec. 1. District GP -General planned development district purpose and intent.
1. A general planned development district is intended to better insure that
development of land in blighted areas is generally compatible and does not interfere with
or impair efforts towards blight removal.
2. The board may, from time to time, after receiving a recommendation from the
plan commission, adopt one or more general planned development districts, which cover
areas of the City found to be blighted by the City.
3. Establishment of a general planned development district shall be subject to
adoption, by ordinance, of a general development and land use plan which shall set forth
the intent toward development in any general planned development district, including the
specific type of land use control zones proposed and the enumeration of permitted and/or
prohibited uses within each of any proposed land use control zones, together with any
other special land use standards or regulations as may be included in the general
development and land use plan.
4. All requirements and regulations pertaining to a district GP shall be subject to the
provision of this section and section 2 and section 3 and section 4.
Sec. 2. Procedure to establish district GP and individual development within the district.
Amendment to zoning district map.
a. A district GP shall be established through an amendment to the zoning
district map, in the same manner as provided for any amendment to this title and
the boundary thereof shall be identified by dashed lines, as distinguished from the
solid lines of other zoning district boundaries. Where the boundary of a district
GP coincides with the boundary of other zoning districts, it shall be shown
adjacent and parallel to said zoning boundary but shall be construed as being the
same location unless otherwise indicated on the zoning map.
b. Each district GP shall be labeled within its boundaries on any zoning
district map by a name or number, which shall identify the particular district GP
with a corresponding name or number in the margin of the zoning district map
and which in turn identifies the ordinance establishing that particular district GP
and its date of passage.
c. Upon the establishment, by ordinance, of a district GP, all zoning districts
which were in effect at the time of establishment shall be reclassified into GP
control zones. No land or structure within the boundary of a district GP shall be
used for any purpose other than a lawful use established before the district GP was
1
EXHIBIT C
to Ordinance
i,~~,~ ~
established, unless a specific plan of development, conforming to the general
development and land use plan of the district GP has been submitted and
approved by ordinance. Any land within a district GP on the date of its
establishment which has an approved zoning development plan shall be deemed to
meet the requirement of a specific development plan as required by this section.
2. Application. Application for any specific planned development within a district
GP shall be submitted in the same manner as required for any amendment to this title.
3. Development plans.
a. Every application for GP districts and any amendments to an approved
development plan shall be accompanied by a development plan containing the

14) Name of adjacent platted subdivision and identification of lot
number and tracts.
15) Location, identification and dimension of proposed lots and tracts.
16) Location of proposed buildings and structures and existing
buildings and structures to remain, with written dimensions of

lines, dimensions of building width and length, number of floors,
gross floor area per floor, and total building area. Residential
buildings shall identify, in addition, the number of dwelling units
per floor and the total number of dwelling units.
17) Identification of proposed or existing use or uses within each
building, building entrances and exits, docks or other service
entrances, outdoor storage and sales areas, and other paved areas.
18) Location of proposed or existing parking spaces, aisles, and drives
with written setback dimensions from proposed street rights-of-
way and adjacent property lines; typical width and length of
parking spaces; number of parking spaces per row; and width of
parking aisles.
19) Location and identification of proposed and existing signs to be
retained, with written setback dimensions from proposed street
right-of--way, and type, height and area of sign. Elevations of
3
freestanding signage to portray this information may be provided
on the site plan.
20) Location and identification of boundaries and phase numbers of the
development if proposed to be platted or developed in phases,
including the buildings, structures, access and parking areas in
each phase.
21) Existing and proposed topography, with contours at an interval of
not less than five feet and with approximate first floor elevations of
buildings.
22) Location and identification of any proposed and any existing site
features to be retained, including detention areas, retaining walls,

of dwelling units.
8. Building coverage and floor area ratio.
4
9. Residential development shall, in addition, identify gross
and net density.
10. Ratio or required number of parking spaces for each use
and amount of required proposed parking spaces.
11. Commencement and completion dates for each phase.
12. Applications for amendments to development plans shall
include a written description of the changes to the approved
development plan, including any changes in use, phases,
parking, signage, or site arrangement.
24) Any other information necessary for a determination as to the
suitability of the plan for the site.
4. Final plans.
a. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for all or any part of a GP
district, there shall be submitted a final plan for review and approval by the City
Planning Commission and the Board of Aldermen. This final plan shall be the
basis for the issuance of any building permit.
b. Every final plan shall conform to the requirements and procedures of
Section 485.200 and provide all the information required of a development plan
and shall further include grading, landscaping, lighting and signage plans.
c. The City Planning Commission shall review the final plan and determine
if the final plan is in substantial compliance with the development plan, allowing
for slight differences in setbacks, yard and parking requirements and ratio of
building coverage to land area where conditions justify such changes.
d. The City Planning Commission shall forward its report and
recommendation regarding approval of the final plan to the Board of Aldermen
for its consideration.
5. Failure to proceed and plan revision or adjustment.
a. Where for any reason construction of an approved development plan
within a district GP does not proceed within a period of one year from the date
scheduled for start of construction or if construction of any subsequent stages of
development does not proceed within one year from the date as submitted in the
contemplated schedule of construction, the development of any undeveloped stage
5
thereof may be repealed by ordinance and no land or structure within such
development plan area shall be used for any purpose unless another specific plan
of development is approved as provided in section 2.
b. When in the course of carrying out any stage of the development and
adjustments of detail may be required, such adjustment may be permitted, if
approved by the codes enforcement officer but only to the extent that such
adjustments are in compliance with all applicable regulations of this title and the
general development and land use plan adopted by ordinance and in substantial
compliance with the final approved plan.
c. No excavation, foundation, footing, building or any other form of
improvement shall be permitted to remain in an unfinished condition for longer
than three months after commencement of construction. In the event of fire,
windstorm or other damages, no building shall be permitted to remain in damaged
condition longer than three months. Any owner of a structure in violation of this
section may, at the discretion of the Planning and Zoning Committee, be assessed
a fine of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per day for every day the violation
continues.
6. Remodeling and Additions. Remodeling and additions to existing improvements
are required to meet the same criteria as new construction. An approval from the
Committee is required for this work just as it is for new construction.
Sec. 3. Conditions upon land use regulations in district GP.
1. The permitted uses and other regulations of land in any district GP are governed
generally by procedures set forth in subsection 1(c) and paragraph subsection 2(a)(3).
The specific land use control zones adopted by ordinance in the general development and
land use plan of any district GP shall all be identified by the prefix letters: GP. Control
zones may duplicate the regulations of any district established by this chapter or may
establish other appropriate regulations which shall be fully set forth in the ordinance
adopting the general development and land use plan for the district GP.
2. Permitted uses and other regulations of land in each land use control district
established may, by reference, be the same as permitted in an equivalent district already
established by this title, or may be the same with certain enumerated exceptions of a
complete new enumeration of permitted and/or prohibited uses may be set forth for any
control zone subject to the following additional provisions.
a. Any use of land which is not specifically set forth as a permitted use and is
not set forth as a prohibited use, may be considered as a possible permitted use
when specifically shown and located in any development plan submitted to the
6
City for review, where there is a finding that such use is within the intent of the
general development and land use plan adopted by ordinance, provided such use
is functionally related and ancillary to the purpose of the development plan.
b. Where the exact businesses or industries are not known at the time an
industrial, commercial or, other nonresidential development is submitted for
review, the developer shall indicate the breadth and scope of the intended activity
including specific land uses and the performance characteristics of such uses.
This shall be in sufficient detail to permit the City Planning Commission and the
Board of Aldermen to evaluate the intensity of the activity proposed with the
intensity of activity intended in the general development and land use plan.
Sec. 4. Standards in GP Districts
1. Purpose. The purpose of these provisions is:
a. to maximize quality economic development of the GP district by setting
standards and criteria that will attract and protect high-value development; and
b. to project a visual image of this premiere commercial and industrial area
that is consistent with the City's policies for long-range development.
2. Applicability.
a. These regulations shall apply in addition to the other regulations of the
base zoning districts.
3. Materials.
a. Approved Materials. Approved exterior wall materials (not including
doors and windows) shall be as follows:
1) Masonry-facing brick; stone; concrete masonry units (CMUs) with
a split-face, fluted, scored, or other rough finish and specifically
excluding a smooth finish CMU, or "concrete brick" with the color
and texture of clay brick (e.g., "Cherokee" block).
2) Concrete, either precast (but excluding T-sections) or cast-in-place;
with an exposed aggregate, bushhammered, or similarly textured
finish, including surface (painted) application of a sand or
aggregate finish or casting of facing brick into the surface to give
the appearance of a masonry wall.
7
3) Stucco, including Exterior Insulation and Finish System (E.LF.S.>)
(e.g., Dryvit) but excluding pre-manufactured panels.
4) Structural clay tile, excluding structural facing the (glazed surface)
except as trim or accent; and architectural terra cotta.
5) Glass, including glass curtain walls or glass block construction, but
not including mirror-like glass which reflects more than 40 percent

4. Architectural Characteristics.
a. Roof Mounted Equipment. Roof mounted equipment, excluding
ventilators and satellite dishes, or exposed roofs shall be screened from view
(100% opacity) or isolated so that it is not visible from ground level of any
adjacent applicable public thoroughfare or residentially-zoned area, up to a
maximum of three hundred (300) feet away. The appearance of roof screens shall
be coordinated with the building to maintain a unified appearance.
b. Exterior Electrical and Mechanical Equipment. All electrical and
mechanical equipment located adjacent to the building and visible from any
adjacent applicable public thoroughfare or a residentially-zoned area shall be
screened from view (100% opacity), up to a maximum of three hundred (300) feet
away. Such screens and enclosures shall be treated as integral elements of the
building's appearance.
5. Site Requirements.
a. Setback from Streets. Minimize building setbacks from the street, moving
parking areas from the front to the sides or rear to the extent feasible, given the
proposed use of the site and the character of adjoining uses.
b. Parkin .Parking lot pavement shall be shielded from the street by low
berming to the maximum extent feasible.
c. Loading Areas. Any loading area within an area subject to this area shall
be buffered with landscape materials in conjunction with earthen berms.
6. Pedestrian-Oriented Environment.
Design of an industrial or commercial site shall provide for pedestrians through
measures appropriate to the use and configuration of the site. Such measures shall
provide for safety and ease of movement between streets and buildings, across
parking lots, and between buildings; shelter from weather outside of building
entrances, and use and enjoyment of outdoor space.
7. Sidewalks.
Approval must be received for all walkway layouts. The construction and
subsequent existence of this sidewalk shall constitute the granting of permission
to use said sidewalk to all persons who use it in a safe and reasonable manner.
10
All sidewalks shall be 48" wide, 4" thick, with 2' minimum green-space between
streets and walk. The concrete surface of the sidewalk shall be scored for crack
control at four (4) foot intervals and broom finished. Should the business have a
sidewalk leading form the driveway or street sidewalk to an entrance of the
business, this sidewalk shall be either concrete with similar scoring or an
approved material such as brick or stone.
8. Exterior Lighting.
Landscape lighting must be placed so as not infringe upon adjacent businesses.
This lighting must be approved by the Planning & Zoning Committee.
9. Service Yard.
Each business shall have an as appurtenance a fenced or screened area to serve as
a service yard for garbage receptacles, storage receptacles, electric and gas meters,
air conditioning equipment and permitted antennae. Unsightly objects must be
placed or stored in order to conceal their view from any street, common area or
community facility. No chain link fencing can be erected or placed upon any lot.
Fencing to be approved by the Planning & Zoning Committee.
10. Grading and Drainage.
The design and development concepts of the district call for the maintenance of
the environment in as much of the original condition as possible. No structure or
improvements can alter the natural drainage of the site to the degree that it
negatively impacts a surrounding lot. For this reason it will be required that each
property owner handle the runoff that naturally occurs on their site by adequately
sloping all areas so that runoff can be directed to the natural drainage areas or to
storm drainage facilities.
In order to help insure compliance with this philosophy as part of a preliminary
design submittal, a grading plan will be required. A grading permit must be
obtained from the City before earth is moved or removed from a specific lot.
Absolutely no grading whatsoever shall be permitted without first obtaining this
permit.
All grading reviews shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the City and shall be
considered individually for each lot. Recommendations or demands will be based
upon individual lot locations, terrain, soil conditions, drainage, cuts and fills, and
whatever other conditions the City feels impacts upon the site grading design.
Soil tests conducted by competent professionals are strongly recommended to all
lot owners.
11
The elevation of the lowest habitable floor in any dwelling shall not be lower than
the elevation necessary to ensure passage of storm water runoff without
inundation of the dwelling. The builder of the dwelling on each Lot shall
excavate, fill, grade and shape the earth surrounding the foundation, landscaped
areas, and lawn areas to drain and not impede, interfere or impound storm or
irrigation water runoff from adjacent lots.
11. Maintaining Sight Distance.
No fence, wall, hedge, or shrub planting which obstructs sight lines at elevations
between two (2) and six (6) feet above the roadways, shall be placed or permitted
to remain on any corner lot within the triangular area formed by the roadway
easement and a line connecting them at points twenty-five (25) feet from the
intersection of the roadway easement, or in the case of a rounded property corner,
form the intersection of the roadway easement extended. The same sight-line
limitations shall apply on any lot within ten (10) feet from the intersection of the
roadway easement with the edge of a driveway. No trees shall be permitted to
remain within such distances of such intersections unless the foliage line is
maintained at sufficient height to prevent obstruction of such sight lines.
12. Landscaping and Clearing.
a. The purpose of this landscaping and screening regulation is:
1) to provide good visual appeal to buildings and paved areas through
the use of trees, shrubs and plants;
2) to encourage areas of established native forest to be preserved
within aproject/development site and to properly protect preserved areas
during construction;
3) to encourage, fund and staff a program to replant trees and
vegetation lost to land development activity;
4) to preserve healthy environmental condition by providing shade,
air purification and oxygen generation, groundwater recharge, storm water
runoff retardation, and noise, glare and heat abatement through
preservation of areas of native forest and installation of landscape;
5) to buffer uncomplimentary land use; and
12
6) to require timely replacement of landscape components lost after
installation.
b. The following criteria and standards shall apply to landscape materials and -
installation.
1) Quality. All trees and shrubs used in conformance with the
provision of this guideline shall have well-developed leaders and tops, and
roots characteristic of the species, cultivar or variety and shall show
evidence of proper nursery pruning. All plant materials must be free of
insects, diseases, mechanical injuries and other objectionable features at
the time of planting.
2) Coverage. Grass, ground cover, shrubs and other living landscape
materials shall be used to cover all open ground. Landscaping materials
such as mulch, bark, etc., can be incorporated into a Landscape Plan where
appropriate.
3) Trees. Trees referred to in this Section shall be a species common
to or adapted to this area of Missouri. Caliper measurements shall be
taken four and a half (4 ''/z) feet above grade, above grade and shall have
the following characteristics:
1. Canopy trees shall be deciduous trees that have a minimum
height of less than thirty (30) feet at maturity. All canopy trees
shall have a caliper width of at least two (2) inches at time of
planting.
2. Understory trees shall be deciduous trees that have a
maximum height of less than thirty (30) feet at maturity. All
understory trees shall have a caliper width of at least one and one-

4. Evergreen or conifer trees shall have a minimum height of
twenty (20) feet at maturity. All evergreen or conifer trees shall be
at least four (4) feet high at time of planting.
4) Shrubs and hedges. Shrubs shall be a minimum of eighteen (18)
inches in height when measured immediately after planting hedges, where
13
installed, shall be planted and maintained so as to form a continuous,
unbroken, solid, visual screen which will be at least three (3) feet high
within one (1) year after time of planting.
5) Ground cover. Ground cover used in lieu of grass in whole or in
part shall be planted in such a manner as to present a finished appearance
and reasonably complete coverage within one (1) year after time of
planting.
6) Lawn grass. Grass areas may be sodded, plugged, sprigged or
seeded except that solid sod shall be used in swales, berms or other areas
subject to erosion.
13. Vehicular Use Areas.
The interior and perimeter of parking lots and vehicular use areas, for uses
requiring site plans, shall be landscaped in accordance with the following criteria.
Areas used for parking or vehicular storage which are under, on, or within
buildings are exempt from these standards.
a. Interior Landscaping. For sites containing parking and vehicular use areas
totaling fifteen (15) or more parking spaces or the gross area is six thousand
(6,000) or more square feet, a minimum of five percent (5%) of the parking or
vehicular use area shall be devoted to living landscaping which include grass,
ground cover, plants, shrubs and trees. Gross parking area shall be determined by
calculating the total area used for parking, including circulation aisles. The
following additional criteria shall apply to the interior of parking and vehicular
use areas:
1) Interior landscape areas shall be protected from vehicular
encroachment or overhang through appropriate wheel stops or
curbs.
2) There shall be a minimum of two (2) understory trees or one (1)
canopy tree planted for each thirty (30) parking spaces or twelve
thousand (12,000) square feet of parking or vehicular use area, or
fraction thereof.
3) Interior areas of parking and vehicular use areas shall contain
planting islands located so as to best relieve the expanse of paving.
Interior planting areas shall be a minimum of one hundred (100)
square feet for each understory tree and two hundred (200) square
14
feet for each canopy tree dimensioned in such a way as to provide
a suitable area for planting.
b. Perimeter Landscaping.
1) Perimeter landscaping shall be provided where a parking lot or
vehicular use area is within fifty (50) feet of a public right-of--way
and there is not an intervening building.
2) Perimeter landscape areas shall contain one (1) canopy tree, one (1)
understory, ornamental or evergreen tree and four (4) shrubs per
hundred (100) linear feet. Where utility lines, easements, the width
of the landscape area or other conditions not under the control of
the developer would not allow canopy trees, each required canopy
tree may be replaced by two (2) understory, ornamental or
evergreen trees. Where a perimeter landscape area is less than fifty
(50) linear feet only one (1) canopy tree or two (2) understory,
ornamental or evergreen trees are required in addition to four (4)
shrubs. Required trees and shrubs may be clustered to allow for
the most effective use of landscaping. The remaining area shall be
landscaped with grass or other ground cover.
Whenever an off-street parking or vehicular use area abuts
a public right-of--way, a perimeter landscape area at least
five (5) feet in depth shall be maintained between the
abutting right-of--way and the off-street parking or vehicular
use area.
2. Necessary accessways from the public right-of--way shall be
permitted through all landscaping.

Introduction
This document and the accompanying exhibit is to be viewed as an addendum to the
existing 1988 Land Use Guide Plan, and should be considered in any future revised
comprehensive plan documents for the City of Riverside.
General Development and Land Use Plan
In its broadest sense, planning is a process of guiding and maintaining the orderly
growth and development of an area. The General Development and Land Use Plan for
the General Planned Development District (GP-I District) addresses the central issues of
growth, resource management, and environmental protection. The purpose of the
General Development and Land Use Plan is to help direct the growth and development
of the community of Riverside, specifically in the GP-I District. The Plan recognizes
existing needs, challenges and conditions of the City while planning for future needs and
opportunities.
One of the policies in the 1988 Plan suggests that land lying generally south of Missouri
Highway 9 that is subject to flooding should be promoted as agricultural, open space,
recreational or similar use. However, the 1988 Plan also recognized that the
construction of a levee would permit more extensive commercial and industrial use in
this area, specifically if an interchange were constructed.
The General Development and Land Use Plan for the GP-I District, Exhibit 1, shows a
variety of land uses which include Heavy Industrial, Light Industrial, Warehouse,
Warehouse /Showroom, Commercial /Retail, Office, and Greenspace. This variety in
the use of the land is accommodated by the formation of a Tax Increment Finance (TIF)
District, the pending construction of the L-385 Levee, and a proposed interchange off of
Interstate 635 (I-635).
The Plan shown in Exhibit 1 is intended to assist in decisions made on issues
concerning development and future growth in the L-385 Levee Redevelopment Area.
While varying from project to project in scope and particulars, the essential features of
Addendum to the 1988 Land Use Guide Plan for the City of Riverside
General Development and Land Use Plan for the General Planned Development District June 20, 2000
any development in the area should be much the same, the main elements being
diversity, continuity, and quality.
Goals, Objectives and Policies
In keeping with the Land Use Guide Plan of 1988, it is useful to set forth goals,
objectives, and policies to implement, manage, and maintain the Comprehensive Guide
Plan. Following are the goals, objectives and policies for the General Planned
Development District.
Goals- The overall goal for the land uses in the General Planned Development District
is to allow for the highest and best use of the land in the bottoms area adjacent to the
Missouri River and South of Missouri Highway 9
More specifically, the goal of the General Development and Land Use Plan, is to apply
planning, legal, and management techniques to promote the optimum use of natural and
man-made assets, and to assure a quality life for the citizens at the least social and
economic cost. The Plan applies reality to the general land uses that have been
identified within the General Planned Development District. Generally, out of the
approximately 1,884 acres, the following percentages of land use have been found to be
economically, and developmentally acceptable:
Heavy Industrial 19%
Light Industrial 12.5%
Warehouse 9%
Showroom/Warehouse 11
Retail/Commercial 12%
Office 8%
Greenspace (incl. Levee) 25%
Necessary roadways 3.5%
While it is known that the development will vary somewhat from the Plan as shown, it
should be understood that the Plan is intended to remain pure in its thought in terms of
translating into a quality development reality.

Addendum to the 1988 Land Use Guide Plan for the City of Riverside
General Development and Land Use Plan for the General Planned Development District June 20, 2000
north/south and east/west roadway networks and each area of the
neighborhood Retail/Commercial should consist of only one or two buildings.
2) Access off of I-635 should be provided to both the north and south regions of
the site so that development may occur to its greatest potential in these
areas. In addition to the north /south circulation from I-635 to Missouri
Highway 9, east/ west circulation should be provided. The City should plan
ahead for the necessary road infrastructure that will allow the land to develop
to its maximum extent. Additionally, every development plan brought to the
City for this area should be reviewed with this road network in mind.
3) A sidewalk system should be placed adjacent to the road system and should
meet American Public Works Association (APWA) standards. A trail system
placed on the top of the levee could double as a maintenance road as well as
a multi-modal trail. The two systems should link together as well as tying
together the sections of the site that are divided by I-635.
4) Green space in the form of recreational space, green "buffering", and
landscaping provides the best form of relief from pavement. The area on the
river-side of the levee presents the best opportunity for recreational green
space. Utilizing a green "buffer" or "screen" in addition to or as an option for
a constructed "screen" such as a wall or fence should be encouraged
whenever possible. In order to provide relief for large paved areas, include
landscaping and tree plantings in island spaces. Other opportunities for
green space include: the areas used to direct drainage, designated common
areas, and trail corridors.
5) Every effort should be made to respect the natural drainage that occurs on
site. Storm water detention or retention areas should not create barriers to
drainage for neighboring properties. Drainage plans should be submitted to
the City for review.
Summary
The General Development and Land Use Plan should be followed to the greatest extent
possible in terms of its intent. Sound development planning techniques should be
utilized. The success of any long-term plan is hinged upon the fact that planning is an
endless process. Major initiatives of this plan focus on addressing existing deficiencies
