In order to minimize conflict and preserve the M-1 districts for their primary purposes, residential and institutional uses are not permitted therein.

(Ord. No. 2024-04, § 1(Att. A), 5-21-2024)

The GU governmental use district is intended to apply in those areas where the only activities conducted are those of the governmental agencies. Areas classified GU are shown on the official zoning map, but no restrictions are shown on the schedule of district regulations since any lawful government activity can be carried on in a GU district. Consistent with the City's comprehensive plan, the GU district is also the appropriate designation for all public schools and is a permissible zoning district under all residential and commercial future land use designations.

(Ord. No. 2024-04, § 1(Att. A), 5-21-2024)

The H historic district is established as an overall or overlay district which is designed to allow a relaxation, modification or augmentation of the applicable provisions of the underlying zoning district by the City Commissioners where historic structures or areas or landmarks are involved. As an overlay district, the historic district has the dimensional requirements of the underlying zoning district, which requirements may be modified or waived by the City Commission upon a recommendation by the Board.

(Ord. No. 2024-04, § 1(Att. A), 5-21-2024)

It is the purpose of this CPD, RPD, or MPD district to provide a method for landowners or developers to submit proposals for unique zoning district provisions for individual planned developments which are not provided for or allowed in the zoning districts established by this zoning code. The planned development provisions are intended to promote flexibility of design and permit-planned diversification and integration of uses and structures while, at the same time, retaining in the City Commission the absolute authority to establish limitations and regulations thereon for the benefit of the public health, welfare and safety. By encouraging maximum flexibility in the proposals which may be considered while, at the same time, retaining maximum control in the City Commission over the approval or disapproval of such proposals, the planned development provisions are designed to:

(1)

Permit more efficient and economic uses of land;

(2)

Encourage a more compatible and harmonious development of contiguous lands;

(3)

Promote homeownership opportunities for all residents of the community;

(4)

Provide flexibility to meet changing needs, technologies, economics and consumer preferences;

(5)

Permit a more efficient use of bypassed lands;

(6)

Be totally controllable in terms of the impact on the proposed site and surrounding neighborhoods;

(7)

Encourage uses of land which reduce transportation needs and which conserve energy and natural resources;

(8)

Preserve to the greatest extent possible and utilize in a harmonious fashion existing landscape features and amenities;

(9)

Provide for more usable and suitably located recreational facilities than would otherwise be provided under conventional land development procedures;

(10)

Provide for more open spaces and scenic areas, either commonly owned or public owned, than would otherwise be provided under conventional land development procedures;

(11)

Lower development and building costs by permitting smaller networks of utilities and streets and the use of more economical building types and shared facilities;

(12)

Accomplish more desirable living and working environments than would be possible through the strict application of minimum requirements of the city's other zoning regulations;

(13)

Permit the combining and coordinating of architectural styles, building forms and building relationships within a planned development;

(14)

Provide an environment of stable character compatible with surrounding developments;

(15)

Permit specific limitations and requirements in excess of those included in other zoning districts, based on the unique characteristics of the individual site, where necessary to the public health, welfare or safety or for the protection or preservation of lands either internal or external to the planned development; and

(16)

Ensure the preservation and maintenance of common areas and open spaces.

(Ord. No. 2024-04, § 1(Att. A), 5-21-2024)

(5)

(7)
