A.

The design review (DR) district is intended to be combined with any principal district for one or more of the following purposes:

1.

To protect areas having unique environmental, physical, historical or scenic features;

2.

To promote development which features a variety of amenities and design features;

3.

To encourage creative approaches to use of land and related physical development;

4.

To obtain the advantages of coordinated, flexible, comprehensive, long-range planning;

5.

To ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses through suitable project design;

6.

To protect the public's health and safety;

7.

To ensure consistency as deemed appropriate with adopted redevelopment plans, conceptual plans, architectural guidelines, and/or special development standards;

8.

To ensure that necessary on-site and off-site improvements are provided to support the proposed use, especially in areas of the city that have minimal public improvements.

B.

The requirements of this district prevail over any conflicting regulation of any principal district with which this district is combined.

(Ord. 98-104 § 1 (part))

The uses permitted outright in the principal district are allowed when conducted within an existing building and on property that conform with zoning, building and fire code development standards, or that will require only minor improvements to accomplish conformance with such standards.

(Ord. 98-104 § 1 (part))

With the exception of sues allowable under Section 17.78.015, the uses permitted outright and those permitted with an administrative permit or a use permit in the principal district are permitted in the DR district if a use permit is first issued in accordance with Section 17.92.020.

(Ord. 98-104 § 1 (part))

Site development standards in the DR district shall, in the aggregate, meet or exceed the applicable standards prescribed by the regulations for the principal district and those required by Chapter 17.84 (General Development Standards).

(Ord. 98-104 § 1 (part))

In addition to the findings required by Section 17.92.020E for issuance of a use permit, the planning commission shall also find the proposed use to be compatible with the purposes of this chapter.

(Ord. 98-104 § 1 (part))
