A. 
This district is established to provide the orderly conversion of older structures no longer useful, serviceable or desirable in their present uses to uses permitted or conditionally permitted in this Chapter. The area standards provided in this district anticipate that such uses will be located in established areas of the City and in close proximity to apartments and other residential uses. Height, area and off-street parking regulations are designed to assure that such uses will be compatible with adjacent residential districts.
B. 
New construction within the district shall be designed to reinforce existing desirable characteristics of the neighborhood properties for residential purposes. No building permit for new construction will be issued unless the Planning Coordinator has certified that in his/her judgment the plans for the structure's exterior, including finishing material, color and landscaping, are visually harmonious and compatible with surrounding land uses; the intent being to reduce the adverse impact of uncoordinated development and protect and enhance surrounding neighborhoods.
