The purpose of the office combining or "-O" district is to allow office uses by conditional use permit. The use of this district shall be limited to lots that: (A) are zoned residential; (B) abut commercial zoning; and (C) are located on a block where the change from a residential zone to a nonresidential zone occurs within the block face.

The following uses shall be permitted, conditional, or accessory uses in the -O district:

Initiation of the "-O" combining district with any R (residential) districts set forth in MMC § 10.05.0300 shall be made by an application to the city council which includes proof that the requested location is zoned residential, that it abuts commercial zoning, and that the change from the residential zone to the nonresidential zone occurs within the blockface.

Subsequent to city council approval of the establishment of an office combining district, a conditional use permit shall be reviewed by the planning commission in the manner provided in Article XXV of this chapter.

Standards for building site and height, lot width, maximum lot coverage, front, side and rear yards, and coverage shall be the same as for the residential district to which the combining district is attached.
