a.
LC Local
Commercial District
The LC district is primarily intended to provide for retail
and service uses which serve surrounding residential and business
activities. Local commercial serves local residents/employees rather
than regional patrons. (Formerly Local Retail 1, 2, 3.)
b.
General
Commercial District
The GC district is primarily intended as a catch-all district
intended to include retail, office, entertainment and service uses
at medium densities. General commercial serves regional as well as
local patrons. (Formerly Local Retail 4 and Commercial.)
c.
MXU Mixed-use
District
The MXU district provides centers where higher density development,
redevelopment, and/or a broader spectrum of land uses are encouraged.
Mixed-Use areas located at or near interstate interchanges and
the intersections of major thoroughfares are intended to maximize
the economic development potential of these areas by providing areas
primarily for more intensive commercial, office, and limited industrial
purposes.
The other Mixed-Use areas are intended to provide flexibility
in design and land uses in order to protect and enhance the character
of the area. Moderate, to high-density residential uses should be
encouraged in the mixed-use areas where such development would complement
and be harmonious with existing and potential development.
d.
PD Planned
District
The PD district is primarily intended to provide for development
of unique and innovative forms by utilizing the total space within
a development by creating common open spaces, scenic and recreational
areas, and other spaces, which will compensate for higher density
development.
The development parameters are submitted by the developer and
subject to approval by the Planning Board and City council. The development
parameters must be submitted in the form of a site development plan
or a written narrative containing sufficient detail for evaluation
by the Planning Board and City council. The Planned District may be
requested in conjunction with any zoning category.
e.

Core District
The DC district is intended as an urban mixed-use zone generally
appropriate for the Heart of Downtown within the Main Street Boundary
as designated by the City. Land Uses allowed in the Downtown Core
are subject to Table 56.
f.
DED Downtown
Entertainment District
The DED District is devoted to encourage establishments providing
entertainment (restaurants, nightclubs, retail stores, and theater
etc.) within the main street boundary. The DED is also devoted to
encourage extended business evening hours to enhance nightlife in
the DED. Land Uses allowed in the DED are subject to table 56.
g.
NS Neighborhood
Services District
NS Neighborhood Services District is primarily intended to accommodate
small retail and offices that serves as a buffer between residential
and general commercial. It is also intended to facilitate the conversion
of residential properties that are in transition from residential
to other uses.
