"M" Mixed Use District: Two or more zoning districts may be combined and overlaid to form a mixed-use district. The designation shall be "M" followed by the appropriate zoning classifications; for example, "M — CC/R-1.5," an "R-1.5 Multifamily Residential District" overlaying a "CC Central Commercial District," permitting all the uses of both zoning districts, but meeting the yard requirements and landscaping coverage and height restrictions of the more restrictive of the combined districts.

"P" Pre-Zoned District: A special zoning designation used in conjunction with a specific zoning district designation (i.e., "R-7.5-P") indicates properties outside the corporate limits of the City which have been pre-zoned in accordance with the requirements of law; the zoning automatically changes to the base specific zoning (i.e., "R-7.5" in the case noted) upon annexation to the City.
