Description and purpose of zoning districts.
(1) 
A - Agricultural district.
(A) 
This district provides for the continuance of farming, ranching and gardening activities on land now utilized for these purposes. When land in the "A" category is needed for urban purposes, it is anticipated the zoning will be changed to the appropriate zoning categories to provide for orderly growth and development in accordance with the comprehensive plan.
(B) 
Once land in an "A" category has been placed into another district, the intent of this article is that such land shall not be changed back to an "A" category by any subsequent request for a change.
(2) 
SF-1 - Single-family residential district.
This district will permit a 10,000 square foot minimum residential lot. Density in this district will be no greater than 3 units per gross acre.
(3) 
SF-2 - Single-family residential district.
The SFO [SF-2] category provides for a minimum residential building site of 6,500 square feet. Density in this district will range from 3.5 to 4.5 units per gross acre. Development in this district will have a low density and development characteristics similar to those now existing in most platted subdivisions.

HUD-1 - HUD home district.
The HUD-1 district provides an area for the placement of HUD-code manufactured home and modular home units in subdivisions in which most lots and HUD-code manufactured home and modular home units are owner-occupied. Densities in this district will be comparable to that of the "SF-2" district.

B-3 - Central business district.
The central business district is established to accommodate the unique needs and role of the historically commercial center of the community. The B-3 district includes zero lot line development, on-street parking, and diversity of uses not present in other business districts.
(11) 
I-1 - Light industrial district.
The light industrial district is established to accommodate uses of a non-nuisance type located in relative proximity to residential and B-1 business areas. Development in the I-1 district is limited primarily to certain specialized manufacturing and research uses of a type which will not create nuisances.
(12) 
I-2 - Heavy industrial district.
The heavy industrial district is established to accommodate industrial uses not appropriate for inclusion in the I-I district and likely to create noise, traffic, odor and/or other conditions incompatible with most residential and commercial uses.

The planned development district provides a zoning category for the planning and development of larger tracts of land or tracts of land with unique characteristics for a single or combination of uses requiring flexibility and variety in design to achieve orderly development with due respect to the protection of surrounding property.
(14) 
H - Historic district.
The historic district is established to accommodate and encourage the preservation and reconstruction of area and structures having outstanding historical and/or cultural significance in the state, region, or community. Standards for the district include regulations regarding permitted uses, expansion, restoration, and other features which are unique to the historic district.
(15) 
FP - Floodplain district.
Zoning districts located in flood hazard areas which are subject to periodic inundation may be preceded by the prefix FP, indicating a subdistrict. Areas designated FP may be used only for those listed in the provisions of section 14.02.021 until the area or any portion thereof located in FP subdistrict has been approved by the city council. Approval shall only be given after engineering studies determine that the area or any portion thereof is suitable for uses in the district and building construction or development would not create an obstruction to drainage nor a hazard to life or property and that such construction is not contrary to the public interest.
