§9221.1 APPLICABILITY

Proposed development, subdivisions, and new land uses within the downtown zoning code (DZC) shall comply with all of the applicable requirements of this article (downtown zoning code) as follows:

A. Zoning Map: The Zoning Map shows the boundaries of the downtown zoning code, the zoning designations within this code, and identifies the specific parcels within each zone. The zoning designation determines the standards for building placement, design, and use.

B. Building and Site Uses: The building and site uses in section 9223 of this code identify the land uses allowed by the City in each of the zones established on the Zoning Map. A parcel shall be occupied only by land uses identified as allowed within the applicable zone by section 9223 of this code, Building and Site Uses. Section 9224 of this code, Standards for Specific Land Uses, identifies standards that apply to specific land uses allowed by this code.

C. Site and Building Development Standards: The site and building development standards in section 9225 of this code regulate the aspects of each private building and parcel of land that affect the public realm. The standards vary according to the zone applied to each parcel by the Zoning Map, Circulation Map, and Special Designations Map. The site and development standards regulate such things as the subdivision of land, building placement, and facade design.

D. Architectural Standards: The architectural standards identified in section 9226 of this code regulate the required form of each private building.

E. Historical Building Standards: The historical building standards in section 9227 of this code regulate modifications to buildings that are fifty (50) years or older.

G. Tree Preservation and Planting Requirements: The tree preservation and planting procedures in section 9229 of this code regulate the preservation and retention of existing trees and the planting of new street trees, parking lot trees, and riparian trees.

H. Circulation Standards: The circulation standards in section 9230 of this code regulate the design of streets, pedestrian and bike paths and other public ways within the boundaries of this code, including new thoroughfares and modifications to existing and extensions of existing thoroughfares. The Circulation Map (Figure 8) identifies existing and proposed new and/or modified circulation routes (e.g., streets, bike paths, and pedestrian ways).

I. Special Designations: The Special Designations Map (Figure 9) identifies the required location of storefront frontage types, recommended location of storefront frontage types, recommended turret locations, and required terminated vista locations and is intended to ensure that development is consistent with the architectural and design purposes of this code.
