College District

The College District (CD) and its regulations are established in order to accommodatepost high-school educational facilities and their associated uses in a manner that recognizes the unique development and location characteristics of large-scale institutional uses while respecting the needs of adjacent property owners and residents. As a result, a primary intent of this zoning district is to both integrate institutional uses with adjacent nonresidential neighborhoods and to adequately buffer institutional uses from adjacent residential uses. Therefore, the College District and its regulations are established in order to accommodate institutional facilities and their associated uses in a manner that: (A) Provides for proper location of such facilities so as to increase the general convenience and safety of the City’s residents; (B) Provides for orderly growth and development in the City of Berea; (C) Reflects and reinforces the existing density and pattern of development while accommodating the need for future growth; (D) Provides for and encourages a balanced, compatible mix of uses, rather than a separation of uses, in a pedestrian-friendly environment.
