This zone is intended to cover certain areas within the city having unique characteristics due to their location and proximity to commercial recreation zones and/or uses as well as their relationship to residential neighborhoods and noncommercial recreation uses. Areas included are unique, not only due to their proximity to prime access, high visibility, special development problems or proximity to commercial recreation uses and residential neighborhoods and uses, but also due to their being situated in corridors or areas of high pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic. This zone is established to assure safe and pleasing development within those transition areas described above which are located within the city. In order to allow proper interaction and coordination of uses within the city and to protect the public, the uses allowed within this zone are allowed for the most part only on the conditional use review and the issuance of a conditional use permit. Public safety, circulation, compatibility with surrounding existing and proposed land uses, architectural character and impact upon existing services and tax base, together with appropriate consideration of the desires of neighboring landowners are all critical factors to be considered in the review process. It is intended that creation of this commercial recreation transition zone shall promote the health, safety, morals and welfare of the public by increasing the awareness of the special nature of the areas which are designated as CRT in accordance with the foregoing description and providing appropriate safeguards for the public near these sensitive areas.
