Section 656. Central City South Interim Overlay (CCSIO) District.
A. Purpose. The Central City South Interim Overlay District is designed to protect and enhance residential character in the area, promote community identity, reduce open land uses, discourage undue concentration of environmentally harmful land uses, and promote well managed growth. The CCSIO is an interim overlay and will be re-examined upon completion of the Central City South area plan.
B. Applicability. The CCSIO District is the area bounded on the west and south by I-17, on the east by Central Avenue, on the north by Lincoln Street between Central and 3rd Avenue and by the Union Pacific Railroad Line between 3rd Avenue and I-17.
The CCSIO applies to all new land uses or new development established after the effective date of this ordinance within. The CCSIO district will not apply to those properties that have received preliminary site plan approval or a building permit prior to the effective date of this ordinance.
Except as provided in Section C, land in the CCSIO District may be used for all uses permitted in the base district in accordance with the standards and procedures established in this ordinance and the limitations of Section D or Section E or Section F. In such instance where there is a conflict between the uses permitted in the base district and the provisions of the Section D, E and F, the more restrictive regulations shall apply.
C. Prohibited Uses. The following uses are not permitted within the CCSIO district.
1. Commercial slaughtering of animals.
2. Commercial waste facilities used to collect, treat, store, process, transfer or dispose of solid waste. Solid waste means any garbage, refuse, sludge from a waste treatment plant, water supply treatment dissolved materials in domestic sewage, or solid and dissolved materials in irrigation return flows, or discharges from point sources subject to permits issued pursuant to 33 USC Section 1342 or Arizona Revised Statutes Section 49-255.01, or source, special nuclear, or byproduct material as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, or facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste as defined in Section 648 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. Facility includes all contiguous land, structures, other appurtenances and improvements on the land.
3. Outdoor advertising structures (billboards).
4. Junk yards, wrecking yards and salvage yards.

2. Open Outdoor Primary Uses. Those primary uses shall include, but are not limited to, long-term storage, storage of vehicles for a period of longer than one week, outdoor storage of equipment for a period of longer than one week or any primary use conducted outside of an enclosed structure.

E. Use Permit Uses. The following uses shall be subject to use permit approval in accordance with Section 307.
1. Day labor hiring and associated transportation centers.
2. Pawn shops.
3. Tattoo shops.
F. District Restrictions.
1. All development zoned A-1 and A-2 shall be subject to the development standards of Section 626.H, the Commerce Park/General Commerce Park districts standards. New developments on parcels that are less than 10 acres are subject to administrative review by the Planning and Development Director or his/her designee. The Planning and Development Director shall determine which screening and setback standards of Section 626.H shall apply. Where solid walls are required, other appropriate screening may be applied. The Planning and Development Director’s decision can be appealed to the Planning Commission and ultimately to the City Council. For those uses or development that are considered non-conforming due to the provisions of the CCSIO district, the new standards shall apply only to expansion areas.
2. All new homes in the CCSIO district shall be subject to the design review process of Section 507 Tab A, II. for Single-family Design Review. The design review shall apply to all new homes regardless of lot width.
In addition to the provisions of tab a, ii. of the Zoning Ordinance, new one and two units per lot residential development shall be subject to the following provisions:
a. All driveways and parking spaces shall be hard surface.
b. Each dwelling unit shall have at least one covered parking space located in a garage or under a carport. The design of the covered parking shall be substantially similar with regard to texture, color and material to that of the housing.
c. The front yard open space of a two unit per lot development shall be landscaped and separated from the driveway and parking areas by a three foot wall, fence, or physical barrier.
d. Unless all Zoning Ordinance required parking is provided along an alley, a contiguous one-half of the area between the rear lot line and the setback line shall be landscaped and separated from the driveway and parking areas by a physical barrier such as a three foot wall or fence.
e. Where two detached units are placed on a single lot, a notice that the lots are not to be split without prior City approval shall be recorded prior to issuance of building permits and the recorded document noted on the submitted site plan. (Ord. No. G-4453, 2002; Ord. No. G-4516, 2003)
