Kansas City Zoning and Development Code § 88-365-03 LARGE-SCALE PUBLIC ASSEMBLY USES IN R ZONING DISTRICTS
88-365-03 - LARGE-SCALE PUBLIC ASSEMBLY USES IN R ZONING DISTRICTS
88-365-03-A. The potential impact of large-scale public assembly uses (on residential areas) can best be evaluated through the special use approval process. Therefore, public and civic use types that typically involve assembly are generally regulated according to their size. These uses are identified in the residential use table (88-110-03-A) as permitted/special ("P/S") uses. Uses identified as "P/S" uses are allowed subject to certain requirements unless they meet the definition of a large-scale use. For purposes of this section, a large-scale use is a use located on a lot that is 5 or more acres in area or the use of a lot of any size for any of the following: (1) buildings with an occupant capacity of more than 500 persons; or buildings with a combined gross floor area of more than 50,000 square feet.
88-365-03-B. All accessory parking for large-scale public and civic uses in R districts (whether required to meet ordinance minimums or elective [extra] parking) must be located on the same lot as the principal use unless otherwise expressly approved through the special use permit process.
