A.

The Parkside overlay district is included in the zoning ordinance to implement the Parkside at Brisbane Village Precise Plan ("Parkside Precise Plan") adopted by city council Resolution No. 2017-50 and to achieve the following purposes:

1.

To create an overlay zoning district for the Parkside subarea that provides for residential development within certain properties located with the Crocker Industrial Park consistent with the Parkside Precise Plan and the City's General Plan while preserving the underlying TC-1 Crocker Park Trade Commercial District designation applicable to those properties;

2.

To encourage redevelopment of existing office and warehouse uses within the Parkside subarea with new residential development at sufficient minimum densities so as to provide opportunities for new affordable housing within the city;

3.

To ensure that new residential development within the Parkside subarea is consistent with the scale and form of the city's built environment and provides amenities for new and existing residents alike;

4.

To respect the pedestrian scale and setting of the surrounding Central Brisbane and Crocker Industrial Park subareas;

5.

To protect the community health and safety by establishing development regulations to eliminate potential conflicts between new residential uses and surrounding trade commercial uses in the Crocker Industrial Park; and

B.

To achieve the purposes of this chapter, the Parkside overlay district is divided into two geographical areas, namely: The PAOZ-1 district consisting of those properties within the Parkside subarea along the south side of Park Place, and the PAOZ-2 district consisting of those properties within the Parkside subarea along the west side of Park Lane, as shown on the city's zoning map adopted pursuant to Chapter 17.04 of this title.
