The purposes of the "Ocean Park Neighborhood" Districts are to:
A.
Maintain the Ocean Park neighborhood as an eclectic residential neighborhood that maintains its identity as a beach-oriented community in the middle of a thriving urban environment.
B.
Ensure that the scale and design of new or rehabilitated development is sensitive to the scale and massing of existing adjacent structures and with the surrounding neighborhood context.
C.
Provide for the maintenance and continuation of a mixture of residential building types that range from older single-unit homes, duplexes, and triplexes to multi-unit housing.
D.
Protect the quality of life of neighborhood residents against potential impacts related to development—traffic, noise, air quality, and the encroachment of commercial activities.
E.
Ensure adequate light, air, privacy, and open space for each dwelling.
F.
Avoid overburdening public facilities, including sewer, water, electricity, and schools, by an influx and increase of people to a degree larger than the City's geographic limits, tax base, or financial capabilities can reasonably and responsibly accommodate.
G.
Provide sites for institutional, residential, and neighborhood serving uses such as day care, parks, community facilities, and neighborhood stores that provide goods and services to support daily life within walking distance of neighborhoods and complement surrounding residential development.
