Article 1 — Interchange Transitional District

All land in the interchange transitional district (map symbol G-1) shall be used in accordance with the provisions of this article.

(Ord. 65 § 3 (part), 1971)

Acquisition for highway interchanges has left and may continue to leave parcels of land that may create difficult problems requiring solutions that provide the fullest possible agreement with the policies and goals of the general plan. This interchange transitional district is provided in order to establish a range of land uses from which may be selected one or several that would, through the application of exceptional or extraordinary design, develop the greatest number of compatibility factors and minimize or eliminate detrimental land use relationships. It is intended that this district shall have application only within the area of highway interchanges and their approaches, and then only when the above is clearly evident and found to exist by the planning commission.

(Ord. 65 § 3 (part), 1971)

The following uses are permitted in the G-1 district:

(a)

Publicly owned parks and playgrounds.

(c)

Uses which the planning commission has found, after notice and hearing, to be comparable to the above uses.
