General Definition A "large-scale general development" contains one or more buildings on a single zoning lot or two or more zoning lots that are contiguous or would be contiguous but for their separation by a street or a street intersection and is not either a large-scale residential development or a #large- scale community facility development#; and: (a) has or will have an area of at least 1.5 acres; (b) has been or is to be used, developed or enlarged as a unit: (1) under single fee ownership or alternate ownership arrangements as set forth in the zoning lot definition in Section 12-10 (DEFINITIONS) for all zoning lots comprising the large-scale general development; or (2) under single fee, alternate or separate ownership, either: (i) pursuant to an urban renewal plan for a designated urban renewal area containing such zoning lots; or (ii) through assemblage by any other governmental agency, or its agent, having the power of condemnation; and (c) shall be located in whole or in part in any Commercial or Manufacturing District, subject to the restrictions of paragraph (a)(1) of Section 74-743 (Special provisions for bulk modification). Such zoning lots may include any land occupied by buildings existing at the time an application is submitted to the City Planning Commission under the provisions of Article VII, Chapter 4, provided that such buildings form an integral part of the large-scale general development, and provided that there is no bulk distribution from a zoning lot containing such existing buildings. In C5 and C6 Districts, however, a large-scale general development having a minimum lot area of five acres may include a zoning lot that contains an existing building that is not integrally related to the other parts of the large-scale general development, provided that such building covers less than 15 percent of the lot area of the large-scale general development and provided that there is no bulk distribution from a zoning lot containing such existing building.
