15.120.110 Zoning classification.

The "XH experimental residential housing" designation does not establish a zoning classification. If the project requires rezoning of the property to accomplish its purposes, the council shall adopt a resolution rezoning the property to the appropriate zone at the same time that it adopts the resolution of designation. The appropriate zone shall be the zone contained within the Planning and Development Code which most nearly corresponds with the proposed land usage set forth in the general schematic plan. A copy of such plan shall be submitted with the application for the experimental housing designation. (Ord. 2013-0021 § 49; prior code § 52.04.401)
