In order to protect the public interest and welfare and to facilitate an attractive, efficient and prosperous C.B.D., the emphasis is on large scale, dense buildings.

PZD. The Preservation Zoning District is designed to supplement land uses and development standards by recognizing the unique characteristics of an existing structure(s) which may be important to the community to preserve from either a historical or architectural design perspective or by recognizing the unique characteristics of a specific piece of property due to natural features, including topographic features, watercourses, woodlands and wildlife habitats. It is the intent that the uses to be allowed are an inducement to the preservation of the historic or architectural design of the building(s) or the natural features, and shall not be construed as creating a benefit for the owner of the property to the detriment of other property owners surrounding the Preservation Zoning District, i.e., this is not to be construed as creating special legislation for the benefit of the Preservation Zoning District property owner(s), but rather a method for the preservation of historic or architectural designs or natural features important to the community.

In the case of a use not specifically mentioned in the list of uses in Article IV of this Chapter, the decision regarding whether the proposed use of a structure is allowable in a specific zone shall be made by the Zoning Coordinator, such decisions shall be based upon the most compatible uses contained in Article IV of this Chapter.
