A. The
basic intent and purpose of each district is generally described as
follows:
1. "A-1" General Agricultural District. Primarily undeveloped
land usually found on the periphery of the City. Such lands are usually
restricted to agriculture and limited residential use and constitute
the prime areas for urban growth and expansion.
2. "R-1a" Single-Family Residential District. Low-density
residential district with related recreational, religious and educational
facilities being provided.
3. "R-1b" Single-Family Residential District. Districts
similar to "R-1a" District but usually permitting higher density.
Such areas are usually close to the central business district.
4. "R-1c" Single-Family Residential District. Districts
are similar to "R-1a" and "R-1b" except zero lot line homes are allowed.
A minimum of two (2) homes, but no more than four (4) homes, may share
a zero lot line. Such areas usually include villas and town homes.
5. "R-2" Two-Family Residential District. Residential
districts with slightly higher population densities. Such districts
create a smooth transition between single-family and multi-family
areas.
6. "R-3" Multi-Family Residential District. High-density
residential areas served by common facilities and open space.
7. "C-1" General Commercial District. Automobile-oriented
commercial districts providing a wide variety of business services
and retail outlets. Such districts usually generate a lot of traffic
and require strict parking, paving width and building setback provisions.
8. "C-2" Planned Shopping Center District. This district
usually consists of large retail outlets such as department stores
or shopping malls which usually create a high flow of traffic. The
same requirements as the "C-1" General Commercial District generally
apply.
9. "C-3" Central Business District. The commercial
district usually composing the City center. Such a district should
offer a wide range of services and outlets and should be pedestrian
oriented.
10. "I-1" Light Industrial District. An industrial district
intended primarily for light manufacturing, assembling, fabrication
or warehousing, wholesale and service uses. This area may require
access to rail and street transportation. Buildings should be architecturally
attractive and surrounded by landscaped yards.
11. "I-2" Heavy Industrial District. An industrial district
intended to provide for a class of uses other than those specified
in the "I-1" Light Industrial District category. This is an area of
intense use and should be separated from residential and commercial
uses wherever possible.
12. "M" Mobile Home District. An area intended for the
orderly, planned development of mobile homes and related facilities.
The requirements for open space and facilities are similar to those
provided for in the "R-3" Multi-Family District.
13. "HF" Highway Frontages Overlay District. An area
established in recognition of the importance of the highway frontages
to the City's image and development with special design guidelines
and standards to ensure high-quality and compatible development.
14. "HP" Historic Preservation Overlay District. An
area established in recognition of the importance of historic buildings
and structures in maintaining the character of the community and its
architectural significance.
