(a)

Purpose. The purpose of this district is to encourage the creative redevelopment of certain previously-developed properties by allowing a mix of compatible land uses in conformity with the city comprehensive plan and with an approved site plan. This may entail the re-use of existing structures or the redevelopment of former commercial or industrial sites for new construction, or a combination of both activities. The intent is to rejuvenate economic activity to relatively large tracts that have been vacant, thereby providing jobs and increased tax base. This district would be appropriate for those areas shown on the future land use map as "flex" land uses, and it may be suitable for other redevelopment projects. As an alternative, mixed use development can be achieved through the planned unit development (PUD) zone (division 8) that provides more flexibility in yard requirements and a wider range of land uses in a unified, cohesive manner through a master plan.
