1110.04 DOWNTOWN (C-DT) DISTRICT.

   (a)    Purpose. The Downtown (C-DT) district promotes high intensity, compact, pedestrian oriented development focused on providing a mix of commercial, institutional, and
residential uses within the City's core (Downtown) and nearby areas. Development and redevelopment within this district should be versatile enough to reduce building vacancies and abandoned lots, while increasing the availability of open spaces, plazas, and amenities. This district comprises of two mapped sub districts - Core and Edge - which have specific use allowances and development regulations to ensure the preferred development outcomes. These two sub districts have their own purposes, but generally these sub districts should:
      (1)    Facilitate pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use, urban infill redevelopment, providing shopping, employment, housing, and business and personal services;
      (2)    Promote an efficient, compact, and walkable development pattern that encourages pedestrian activity while reducing reliance on automobiles;
      (3)    Allow development flexibility in land use and site design;
      (4)    Effectively regulate downtown and its surrounding areas to create attractive and functional development outcomes as envisioned in the Downtown Core and Village enter character areas of the Clark County Comprehensive Plan;
      (5)    Revitalize the historic downtown and its surrounding areas while preserving Springfield's history and heritage; and
      (6)    Enhance the significance of the City's authentic core to residents, tourists, and visitors and serve as a support and stimulus to business and industry.
   
   (b)    Establishment of Sub districts. To achieve an appropriate location of uses, form, and
scale within the C-DT district, the district shall be classified into the following sub districts:
      (1)    Core. The Core (C-DT-C) sub district preserves and enhances the existing buildings along main thoroughfares and those properties contained within the sub district and identified on the Zoning Map. Additionally, compatible infill and redevelopment of the area is preferred within this sub district. This sub district emphasizes pedestrian focused and mixed-use development requiring new buildings and additions to existing buildings to be consistent with the historical form and architectural traditions of the area.
      (2)    Edge. The Edge (C-DT-E) sub district promotes compatible infill and redevelopment of the area immediately surrounding the Core (C-DT-C) sub district by providing a range of low-to-moderate intensity nonresidential development and varying residential transitions between the Core (C-DT-C) sub district and the adjacent surrounding neighborhoods. This sub district emphasizes small-to-medium scale development consistent with the immediate surrounding area within the sub district.
   (c)    Uses. Use allowances in the Downtown (C-DT) district shall comply with those
provided in Table 1104.03.1: Use Table.
   (d)    Dimensional Standards. Development in the Downtown (C-DT) district shall follow the standards in Table 1110.04.1: Downtown (C-DT) District Dimensional Standards.

1113.01 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (S-PD) DISTRICT.

   (a)    Purpose. The purpose of the Planned Development (S-PD) district is to provide for zoning and subdivision regulation of Planned Developments to allow more flexible design of single use residential, commercial, or industrial uses developments as well as allow modem integrated developments of mixed residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, or agricultural uses, with such Planned Developments regulated so as to be in substantial conformity with the Clark County Comprehensive Plan adopted by the City, with the City's Thoroughfare Plan, and with the purposes established in this Section, and so as to not have substantially adverse effects on neighboring areas which outweigh the benefits to the community derived from the Planned Development. In addition, the regulation of Planned Developments under this Section is intended to further the following purposes:
      (1)    To provide flexibility in architectural design, placement, and clustering of buildings, use of open space, provision of traffic circulation facilities and parking, and related site development considerations;
      (2)    To provide for the preservation and best use of existing landscape features and environment characteristics through development sensitive to and protective of the natural features of the PD district and the surrounding area in a harmonious fashion;
      (3)    To promote efficient land use with smaller networks of utilities and streets;
      (4)    To provide a more flexible zoning mechanism to facilitate redeveloping older residential areas and to encourage infill development;
      (5)    To enable the creation of a more desirable environment than would be possible through the application of the regulations in the City's conventional zoning districts;
      (6)    To provide a comprehensive planning process and an integrated body of regulation for zoning and subdivision control of each Planned Development;
      (7)    To provide for more usable and suitably located recreation facilities, open spaces, and other public, private, and common amenities than would otherwise be provided under conventional land use development regulation;
      (8)    To combine and coordinate architectural styles, building forms, and building relationships within Planned Developments;
      (9)    To provide for appropriate land covenants, easements, and financial assurances and securities to ensure completion of public improvements, completion of construction of Planned Development phases, long term maintenance of common areas and other amenities in Planned Developments, long term maintenance and preservation of Planned Development features intended to mitigate adverse effects on neighboring areas and areas within the Planned Development and preservation of the attributes of the Planned Development necessary to integration of the uses permitted therein;
      (10)    To provide for the integration of diverse uses in a manner that will allow the uses to complement each other and that will promote convenience of access to various uses by the community within and near the Planned Development;
      (11)   To provide aesthetically pleasing development which will foster a livable environment in the Springfield community and which will promote the public welfare;
      (12)    To provide a flexibility in zoning and subdivision regulation that will incentivize developers to opt for pursuing a planned development subject to more comprehensive municipal regulation, even though the developer may incur increased early development costs associated with undertaking the PD district planning process.
   (b)    Uses. Uses for each separate Planned Development (PD) District shall be established in the ordinance granting the Planned Development (PD) District.
   (c)    Dimensional Standards. A Planned Development (PD) District requires a minimum of 5 contiguous acres. Establishment or amendment of district shall follow Title Five - Chapter 1128.02.
   (d)    Special Regulations
      (1)    Dimensional and development standards for each separate Planned Development (PD) District shall be established in the ordinance granting the Planned Development (PD) District and may include but shall not be limited to uses, density, lot area, lot width, lot depth, yard depths and widths, building height, building elevations, coverage, floor area ratio, parking, access, screening, landscaping, accessory buildings, signs, lighting, management associations, and other requirements as the City Commission may deem appropriate.
      (2)    The Planned Development (PD) District shall conform to all other sections of the ordinance and this Zoning Code unless specifically exempted in the granting ordinance.
