CHAPTER 15.01 PURPOSE AND TITLE
15.01.010 Name and citation of title.
These regulations shall be referred to as the 1983 Revised Zoning Ordinance of the City of Sioux Falls.
15.01.020 Purpose.
These regulations have been based upon a comprehensive plan adopted December 16, 1996, and revised on January 21, 2003, prepared for the City of Sioux Falls, South Dakota and are in conformance with SDCL ch. 11-4. These regulations are designed to carry out the goals and objective of the comprehensive plan, but especially to lessen congestion in the streets; to secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; to promote health and the general welfare; to provide adequate light and air; to prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration of population; and to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewer, school parks and other public necessities.
These regulations have been made with reasonable consideration of the character and intensity of various land uses and the need for public facilities and services that would develop from those uses. These regulations are necessary for the best physical development of the community.
The regulations are intended to preserve and protect existing property uses and values against adverse or unharmonious adjacent uses by zoning all land within the corporate limits of the City of Sioux Falls. The land use regulations divide the area into a number of zoning districts:
(a) In order to provide a broad range of recreational facilities, a number of areas will be set aside as public parks. A well-planned park system can contribute to the aesthetic quality of the city as well as provide a functional and attractive use for otherwise unusable land such as floodplains and steep terrains. The provision of a district for park lands will provide open space to lessen congestion and also protect and preserve woodlands, wetlands and wildlife habitats in and around the city.
(b) The regulations include two agricultural districts to provide for the preservation of prime agricultural land while at the same time allowing for compatible nonfarm uses on those lands which are not suitable for farming.
(c) A number of residential districts have been provided. The regulations provide for single-family detached housing which is located on fairly large lots, as well as for the construction of duplexes, townhouses, multiple units, and manufactured homes. The regulations establish districts where the single-family homes are provided maximum protection from intrusions, including higher density residential uses, while still providing safe, attractive areas for apartments, townhouses and manufactured homes to locate.
(d) Commercial districts recognize the various types and levels of retail activity that are needed throughout the community. The central business district is differentiated from the other districts not only by the uses it allows, but also because of the unique physical attributes of the central business area. The regulations provide for neighborhood convenience shopping as well as planned and general commercial uses.
(e) The industrial districts provide for a light industrial district for modern industrial-park-like uses. These would be attractive pollution-free uses with large setbacks and no open storage. The general industrial district will allow for heavy industrial uses.
(f) Other districts have been and will be provided as necessary.
(Ord. No. 94-95, § 1, 7-3-95; Ord. No. 120-01, § 1, 12-10-01; Ord. No. 108-03, § 1, 11-3-03)

CHAPTER 15.41 RESERVED
CHAPTER 15.43 DR DESIGN REVIEW OVERLAY DISTRICT*
This district is intended to provide both developing and redeveloping areas with special standards to protect and enhance the unique features of the area. It is not intended that these regulations interfere with, abrogate or annul any other rules or regulations of this title; except that if the design review overlay district imposes a greater restriction than the underlying zoning district regulations, they shall control.
15.43.010 Scope of regulations.
The regulations set forth in this chapter or set forth elsewhere in this title when referred to in this chapter are the district regulations in the DR design review overlay district.
15.43.020 Boundaries of districts.
The boundaries of each design review overlay district are shown upon a map which is made a part of each overlay district by reference. That part of each map designating the title and boundaries shall have the same force and effect as if they were all fully set forth herein.
15.43.030 Uses permitted.
A building or premises may be used for the purposes permitted in the underlying zoning district provided it is in conformity with the conditions required in the design review overlay district.
15.43.040 Accessory uses.
Accessory uses and buildings permitted are accessory buildings and uses customarily incident to any of the permitted uses in the underlying zoning district which are not prohibited by the overlying design review overlay district.
15.43.050 Parking regulations.
All parking, loading and stacking shall be regulated by the underlying zoning district and in conformance with the provisions of the overlying design review district.
15.43.060 Sign regulations.
Signs shall be regulated in conformance with chapter 15.57 and any regulations imposed by the overlying design review overlay district.
15.43.070 Density, area, yard and height regulations.
The maximum height and minimum lot requirements shall be subject to the maximum height and minimum lot requirements of the underlying zoning district and any regulations imposed by the overlying design review [overlay] district.
15.43.080 Design review [overlay] districts enumerated.
Design review [overlay] districts adopted by the City of Sioux Falls shall be as enumerated below:
15.43.081. Downtown Sioux Falls design review district.
(a) Boundaries: The district boundaries shall include all properties within the boundaries of the Main Street Sioux Falls Business Improvement District as defined by section 39-142.
(b) Intent: It is the intent of these regulations to protect major public and private investments that exist downtown and to enhance the positive visual character of the district by promoting architectural design which devotes as much attention to the physical appearance of the structure as to its functional aspects for all construction projects.
The primary objective is to ensure new buildings, building additions, facade alterations, rehabilitations, and signage are compatible with the character of the district and fit in with their surroundings thereby reinforcing the visual quality of the area, preserving the property values, and supporting the tourism potential of downtown.
Compatibility calls for a building design which fits in with its surroundings, without requiring uniformity of design, and without dictating specific architectural styles. The design of a building must consider the surroundings--sometimes called the context--of the site. This design review district recognizes that the overall context of downtown includes variations, and is intended to allow both flexibility and creativity in devising compatible design solutions.
Therefore, it is the city's intent to encourage new developments, redevelopments, and the remodeling of existing building exteriors which are substantially consistent with the design criteria set forth in the Downtown Design Guidelines for Sioux Falls, South Dakota, prepared in 1995.
(c) Standards:
(1) Building orientation and setback. The placement of new construction shall reflect the setback already established by surrounding buildings. Along blocks already heavily developed, the front setbacks of new buildings shall not vary from the average setback that exists along the block by more than five percent.
(2) Building height. Mid-block buildings shall not vary from the average height of the other mid-block buildings by more than ten feet. The other mid-block buildings shall be those found along both sides of the street along the block of the subject site. Corner buildings are generally taller than mid-block buildings. The maximum height of new corner buildings shall not exceed the average height of the buildings occupying the adjacent corners at the intersection, nor shall corner buildings be lower than two stories. For high-rise construction, the upper stories should be set back away from the street facade. All buildings taller than three stories shall undergo design review by the planning commission.
(3) Building width. Construction of new buildings and the substantial reconstruction of existing building facades which exceed 40 feet of width facing the street shall incorporate a rhythmic division of the facade into smaller segments to maintain the pattern of widths typically found in the surroundings of the site. Use of vertical features, minor inserts or outsets of segments of the facade, and the sensitive placement and proportions of window openings are among the methods available to create a division of a long facade into smaller segments or bays. All buildings which exceed 90 feet of width facing any street or which exceed 24,000 square feet of aboveground finished floor area shall undergo design review by the planning commission.
(4) Building color and texture. Color schemes shall be simple, using the minimum number of colors necessary to accentuate architectural features. Color selection shall complement the predominant hues of adjoining buildings and the use of extremely bright and dark hues shall be limited to smaller accent features of the building. Color schemes which are designed to draw attention or which create a result which is difficult for people to ignore shall not be used. The color criteria shall not apply to buildings repainting projects which do not substantially change the existing color scheme.
(5) Materials. Materials should be compatible with those used for adjacent buildings. Rough-sawn wood, rustic shingles, aluminum or vinyl siding or obvious imitation materials should not be used. The color and proportions of brick and stone should not contrast sharply with the masonry typically found near the development site. Use of large panelized materials which contrast with the surrounding buildings should be avoided.
(6) Proportion of openings. The size spacing horizontal alignment and proportions of doors and window openings should reflect those predominating along the block. For much of the densely developed downtown area, the appropriate pattern of openings include large display windows on the first floor and regularly spaced, vertically aligned windows on the upper floors that are relatively tall and narrow. When restoring, rehabilitating, or remodeling a building more than 50 years old, the size, proportion, and profile of the original window openings should be maintained. Recessed entries are encouraged if they were part of the original building design or for use in new construction where the site is located where such openings predominate. Wood or prefinished aluminum are the preferred finish material for doors and windows; raw aluminum is not appropriate.
(7) Historic building remodeling. Projects involving the renovation or remodeling of downtown historic buildings should reflect the original architectural character of the building. Introduction of new design elements should be consistent with the traditional features of the building. It is encouraged that all historic building remodeling projects be consistent with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation to the greatest degree practicable.
(8) Horizontal alignment. Patterns of horizontal alignment are closely related to the patterns created by the proportion of openings. Horizontal patterns are created by design elements which separate one building level from the floor above, and by the horizontal repetition of building features such as window openings, columns, and pilasters. Where recognizable streetscape pattern of horizontal alignment and banding exists between floors, building modifications and new construction in the area should maintain, enhance, and complement the pattern. The use of awnings and/or canopies to reinforce the horizontal alignment patterns at the pedestrian level is encouraged.
(9) Roof forms. The predominant roof form downtown is a flat roof with a raised parapet and a decorative cornice. This roof form is appropriate in nearly all areas of the downtown district. The use of pitched roofs is generally discouraged, except when the building is geographically isolated from nearby construction or when there is a strong visual connection with an existing building with a pitched roof. The use of a decorative cornice as a building element is a desirable feature to maintain or to incorporate into new construction.
(10) Sidewalk coverings. Sloped awnings with a continuous band along the lower edge, with either open or closed ends, are appropriate. Barrel awnings, bubble awnings, aluminum and rigid plastic awnings are discouraged. Internally lighted, or backlit, plastic awnings are inconsistent with the Downtown Design Guidelines for Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and are strongly discouraged.
(11) Signage. The size, location, and readability of signs for private businesses should be orientated toward pedestrian traffic. The design of buildings should take precedence over the design of business signs. Signs should be designed to be compatible with the buildings which support them, with appropriately scaled signable areas coordinated with the building design, and should respect the existing architectural design elements of the building. Building exteriors should not be remodeled for the principal purpose of accommodating signage.
(12) Parking and access. The perimeters of surface parking lots adjacent to a street or sidewalk should be provided with an edge treatment designed to define the edge and to separate the lot from the street or sidewalk. Preferred treatments include a landscape setback, a screen wall, masonry piers, bollards, and wrought iron fencing. New curb cuts crossing the pedestrian sidewalk are discouraged. Where curb cuts are necessary for access to parking facilities and drive-through services, such as banks, the curb cuts should be located on streets with little pedestrian traffic; good sight lines for both the pedestrian and the motorist should be provided; and the number of curb cuts should be kept to a minimum along any given block.
(13) Other considerations. Landscaping, planter boxes, hanging flower baskets, window boxes, outdoor furniture, outdoor dining areas, and public art are encouraged wherever appropriate.
(d) Plan review: Development and redevelopment of any property, and the exterior renovation of any existing structure located within the Main Street Sioux Falls Business Improvement District shall undergo a design review and approval by the planning commission if the director of planning and building services determines that the standards in (c) are not met.
15.43.082. 49th Street corridor design review district.
(a) Legal description:
(1) Tract 7 and tract 8, Sioux Empire Addition.
(2) The north 577.9 feet of the south 627.9 feet of the east 559.79 feet of the west 609.79 feet of the southwest quarter of the northwest quarter, section 31-101-49.
(3) Tracts 5 and 6, New Town West Addition.
(4) Lots 1 through 3, tract 1, Oxbow Addition.
(5) That portion of tract 6, Brown Addition, lying south and west of the river.
(6) Lot 5, tract 3, Brown Addition.

(8) Tract 4, Brown Addition.
(9) Lot 1, block 1, Burlington Second Addition.
(10) The north 200 feet of the southeast quarter of section 31-101-49.
(11) The south 260 feet of the west 2,217.27 feet of the northeast quarter of section 31-101-49.
(12) The east 1,262.6 feet of the south 500 feet of the north 550 feet of the northeast quarter of the southwest quarter of section 31-101-49.
(13) The south 450 feet of the north 500 feet of the east 1,029.6 feet of the northwest quarter of the southwest quarter of section 31-101-49.

(17) That portion of the north 550 feet of the northeast quarter of the southwest quarter of section 36-101-49 lying east of the Interstate.
(See map on file with the city clerk of records office.)
(b) Intent: The 49th Street corridor contains many unique features which require special zoning regulations. Guidelines for development along 49th Street have been established which will maintain the features that make this street unique. These features include a bikeway along the south side of 49th Street which will connect the Western Heights area to the River Greenway Bikeway System, and there is also the location of the Big Sioux River oxbows on either side of 49th Street. The oxbows are the last remnant of the way the Big Sioux River on the west side of Sioux Falls was prior to channelization. They exemplify the twisting, winding nature of the original riverbed and much of the vegetation in the area is typical of the flora associated with the original river banks. As such, the oxbows present an invaluable resource to the community and should be protected from development that would encroach on them.
The intent of these guidelines is to take extra care in the design of the sites located along 49th Street so that developers can take advantage of the street's unique features without creating the types of problems typically associated with high-volume streets: increased pollution (visual, air and noise), heavy traffic with dangerous turning movements and insensitivity to the site.
Therefore, it is the city's intent to follow these policies along 49th Street:
--Discouraging development which will require an excessive amount of curb cuts along the arterials.
--Preserving the bikeway along the south side of 49th Street as a safe and viable connection by reducing curb cuts.
--Encouraging developers to plat lots in such a way that access can be shared or so access can be placed on the side street.
--Considering possible future locations of bus shelters along 49th Street.
--Developing attractive, functional commercial, office and residential sites which will be well integrated with each other, as well as the natural features the city is attempting to preserve along 49th Street.
(c) Standards:
(1) Access:
a. Development along 49th Street will be limited to one curb cut every 450 feet.
(2) Site development:
a. A setback of 25 landscaped feet will be required in order to protect the high visual quality of 49th Street.
b. Any structure adjacent to the oxbows shall be oriented and designed in such a way as to offset any negative effects said development could have on the oxbows. For example, heating and air conditioning units and outside storage should be screened from the oxbows.

(a) Description: The water source protection overlay district is an overlay district as shown on the water source protection overlay district map of the City of Sioux Falls. The official map shall be on file at the city clerk's office and the city planning and building services office. Upon annexation, any land that has been identified as a Minnehaha County water source protection overlay district shall continue consistent with 15.05.080.
(b) Intent: The City of Sioux Falls recognizes that the Big Sioux aquifer system, along with the Skunk Creek aquifer system, and associated drainage basins are its primary source of high-quality, potable drinking water and must be protected from leaks and spills or threatened leaks or spills of contaminants in such quantities as may result in adverse effects to water sources by establishing a comprehensive water source protection plan. Pursuant to the authority provided by South Dakota statute, and in the interest of securing the public health, safety and general welfare, the City of Sioux Falls desires to preserve the quality and quantity of the city's water resources and to ensure a safe and adequate water supply for present and future generations by preserving and protecting water resources currently in use and those having a potential for future use as a public water supply, while at the same time continuing to foster and promote reasonable and environmentally responsible economic growth.
The purpose of these regulations is to ensure the safety of the potable water supply for the City of Sioux Falls. This ordinance will establish procedures and criteria for reviewing and restricting land uses which have the potential to pollute water sources in designated water source protection zones.
(c) Water source protection overlay district use regulations: Any activity on, or use of any land which lies within the water source protection overlay district shall conform to the following regulations and procedures.

c. No use shall be allowed in any zone which involves the treatment, manufacture or disposal of hazardous materials or which utilizes a surface impoundment or an underground injection well.
(2) Review procedure; screening committee: Permits for new uses or changes in existing uses shall be required to meet all other city requirements including, but not limited to, requirements for underground storage tanks, sewer discharge permits and storage of contaminants or hazardous materials. These new uses or changes in use, as well as any new developments, or any changes from current uses which are within the water source protection overlay district will be reviewed by the screening committee, except for residential uses which are connected to the Sioux Falls sanitary sewer system.
This review by the screening committee shall involve an analysis of each proposal including, but not limited to:
a. Type of new or changed use, development or operation;
b. The quality, quantity, concentration, physical, chemical or infectious characteristics of contaminants or hazardous material;
c. Storage or use of contaminants or hazardous materials;
d. Leak or spill prevention methods;
e. Contingency plans;
f. The adverse effects of contaminants or hazardous materials, including the probability that any leak or spill would contaminate groundwater;
g. Compliance with other city, state or federal regulations.
The purpose of this review shall be to determine if any new development or any change in a new or existing use in the water source protection overlay district should be exempted from further review by the environmental impact committee.
The screening committee shall also have the power to recommend to the planning commission denial of any proposed uses or developments which it finds to have the potential to pollute water sources in the overlay district.
All decisions shall be made based upon consideration of the factors outlined above, and the affected party shall submit all information as required by the screening committee. Any decision by the screening committee to not refer a proposed use to the environmental impact committee must be unanimous. Decisions by the screening committee shall be made within seven working days of referral of the proposed use to the committee, unless the committee votes to extend the decision deadline an additional seven days.
(3) Review procedures; environmental impact committee: The environmental impact committee shall review all proposed uses within the water source protection overlay district not exempted by the screening committee.
This review by the environmental impact committee shall involve an analysis of each new or changed use including, but not limited to:
a. Type of new or changed use, development or operation;
b. The quality, quantity, concentration, physical, chemical or infectious characteristics of contaminants or hazardous materials;
c. Storage or use of contaminants or hazardous materials;
d. Leak or spill prevention methods;
e. Contingency plans;
f. The adverse effects of contaminants or hazardous materials, including the probability that any leak or spill would contaminate groundwater;

However, a conditional use permit, as required by the underlying zoning district, may not be exempted by the environmental impact committee.
The committee shall select a chairperson who shall vote only in cases of a tie vote among the other members or when his/her vote is necessary to achieve a quorum. Four committee members constitute a quorum, and a quorum shall be required to decide matters brought before it.
The environmental impact committee shall review and make decisions on matters after it is received by the committee chairperson. A decision shall be made within 30 days after receipt of the completed questionnaire, completed requested documentation, and other supporting information as supplemented. If after receiving the completed information, it is not possible for the decision to be made within 30 days, the committee may extend the decision deadline 14 days. The committee shall advise the affected party of the extension and reasons therefor. Determination by the committee that a conditional use permit is required may be appealed as provided under appendix B, chapter 15.63 of the Revised Ordinances of Sioux Falls.

The official map shall be on file at the city clerk's office and the city planning and building services office.
(b) Intent: The city of Sioux Falls recognizes that numerous environmental constraints exist in geographic areas within and near the city of Sioux Falls. Based upon an evaluation of environmental factors and physical characteristics of the city of Sioux Falls and outlying areas, it was determined that all future development be environmentally compatible. The city of Sioux Falls desires to lessen the environmental impacts of future development in areas that are prone to environmental issues, specifically due to past uses and knowledge of the property.
The environmental land use control overlay district ordinance shall identify sites that need legal regulations to ensure protection of human health and the environment against exposure to contaminated soil, groundwater, or both that may be present on property as a result of historical uses.
The purpose of these regulations is to ensure the safety of any future redevelopment on a known environmentally impacted site. This ordinance will establish procedures and criteria for reviewing and restricting land uses which have the potential to pose a risk from a contaminated site.
(c) Environmental land use control (overlay district regulations): Overlay district regulations are non-engineered, administrative, and/or legal controls that minimize the potential for human exposure to environmental chemicals of concern by limiting land or groundwater use. Any activity on, or use of, any land which lies within the environmental land use overlay district shall conform to all or some of the selected regulations that are listed by site in section (c) of this ordinance as shall be determined by the environmental impact committee.
(1) A notice that elevated concentrations of lead or other contaminants may remain on this property will be placed on each property deed by an environmental covenant as they are platted. Covenants must conform and comply with the Uniform Environmental Covenants Act of SDCL 34A-17.
(2) Property will be zoned for RC - Recreation Conservation use only.
(3) Notification and approval from the Sioux Falls planning and building services department shall occur for any excavation or subsurf
