1. 1.
   Agriculture Reserve District. The intent of the A-R District is to provide for the protection and preservation of agricultural land within the incorporated area of the City. This district protects existing agricultural areas that are currently in productive use until such time as these areas are converted to urban land uses and rezoned. This district also includes areas identified in the Comprehensive Plan for long-term agriculture research and testing. As an urban area, intensive agriculture activity is not considered appropriate as these uses would adversely affect adjacent development.
2. 2.
   Conservation District. The intent of the C-D District is to preserve and protect heavily wooded areas, areas of extreme slopes, rivers, stream banks, and flood plains of the City from adverse future development. The C-D district is also intended to provide for and promote social and recreational opportunities within public parks.
3. 3.
   Government Facility District. The intent of the G-F District is to support and coordinate the continued development and expansion of major state- and federally-owned public facilities. This district recognizes that the City has no jurisdiction over land owned by these governmental entities. This district is not intended to apply to any property not owned by a state or federal agency.
4. 4.
   Planned Unit Development District. The intent of a PUD District is to provide for the development or redevelopment of land under the control of and in accordance with a Master Plan that allows flexibility from the strict provisions of the Zoning Ordinance in order to encourage:

   3. C.
      Innovations in development to provide for a greater variety in tenure, type, design and siting of structures.
   4. D.
      Higher standards of site and building design.
   5. E.
      The redevelopment of obsolete or substandard land uses where present development standards cannot be met.
   6. F.
      The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics, such as existing vegetation, natural topography and geologic features, and the prevention of soil erosion.
   7. G.
      The creative use of land which allows a phased and orderly transition of land from one activity to another.
   8. H.
      A more efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering housing costs and public investments.
   9. I.
      A more desirable and creative environment than might be possible through the strict application of zoning and subdivision regulations of the City.
   10. J.
       A development pattern in harmony with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
   11. K.
       Clear and identifiable benefits to the City that were achieved through the flexibilities granted and that would otherwise not have been achievable using the standard zoning.
