Article 1 — Purpose of Chapter

(a)

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a mechanism whereby certain additional regulations can be superimposed on or combined with the regulations in a land use district so that all of the regulations of the underlying district plus the regulations of the combining district apply to the land.

(b)

The council finds that authority to establish a combining land use district is necessary to (1) provide flexibility in land use development to meet changing social and economic conditions as they affect land uses; (2) encourage the maximum utilization of land; (3) guarantee the performance of development standards established by the city; (4) provide a means of permitting the development of land which has unique and special development problems which cannot be solved under other land use districts; and (5) provide time for in-depth studies of changing conditions which may require changes in zoning, without in the meantime preventing owners from developing their land.
