Editor's Note: See also Schedule A, included as an attachment to this chapter.
The districts under this article are established
to protect and enhance the use and development of those areas of the
City which are within the presently built-up urban service area. Use
provisions in these areas reflect, to a large degree, the historical
use, and development standards necessarily reflect traditional development
patterns and the minimum standards of previous ordinances. Nevertheless,
these district requirements allow for current market conditions and
even promote dynamic and innovative reuse and redevelopment where
appropriate, as well as fulfilling the long-recognized value of the
prevention of overcrowding, the balancing of activity with necessary
services and the reduction of destructive conflicts between competing
uses in order to make such areas viable, safe, efficient and healthy
for human occupancy and activity and to protect property values for
the individual and the community.
A.
Statement of purpose. The Urban Residence 1 District
is established to enhance and protect the essential established characteristics
of certain traditional, low-density residential areas of mostly single-family
detached dwellings or, where such development is desired, to promote
