It is the purpose of this combined land use district, known as the T or transitional district, to utilize development standards to:

(a)

Create a buffer in specific areas within which the use, operation and physical orientation of proposed structures and all other improvements to the land within a district can be required to adhere to adopted standards; and/or

(b)

Insure the review of proposed projects by the Planning Commission when special circumstances such as topography, location or surroundings exist on the subject property.

The provisions of this zone district will insure orderly, proper and harmonious development within zone districts and between zone districts of different restrictions.

The provisions of a T—Transitional District may be added to any other district. Any district which is combined with specific T—Transitional District standards shall constitute a separate and distinct zone district and shall be governed by the specific regulations set forth in the T—Transitional District and the provisions of the district in which it is applied (i.e., C-2-T means all the provisions of the C-2 and T—Transitional District are applicable). In those cases where the T—Transitional District standards are more and/or less restrictive than the provisions of the district to which it is applied, the T—Transitional District standards shall govern.

Any use permitted in the zone district with which the T district is combined is permitted.

(a)
