§ 30-950.1. Intent of districts.

(a)

Pursuant to the general purposes of this chapter, the intent of plan of development overlay districts is to provide a means whereby the City Council may establish overlay districts to determine compliance with the technical requirements of this chapter as well as compliance with site planning criteria in this chapter such as the relationship among the various elements of the plan (preservation of landscape, arrangement of buildings and spaces, functions of yards and spaces, parking and circulation), the relationship to the arrangement of abutting sites and to minimize potential adverse influences on and ensure compatibility with nearby uses.

(b)

The districts are intended to recognize that business uses located in areas adjacent to or within residential areas and generating traffic which must pass through adjacent residential areas typically have a greater impact on these residential areas than business uses in other locations and that plan of development review provides an opportunity to ensure a more harmonious relationship between these different uses.
