Oewifntifti4y Redevelopment Ageney (CRA) area eonsistent with land use ftem the
Community Redevelopment Plan in areas located cast of Interstate 95, at densities no greater than twenty
(20) dwelling units per acre. This district is also intended to promote water access and recreational
opportunities with accommodations of uses, including marine-oriented and water dependent uses, in both
mixed use developments and limited single-use projects. The IPUD district Wil-includes design standards
that exceed the standards of the basic development standards in terms of site design, building architecture and
construction materials, amenities and landscape design. The extent of variance or exception to basic design
standards, including but not limited to requirements for parking spaces, parking lot and circulation design,
and setbacks, will be dependent on how well the proposed -project otherwise exceeds the other applicable
standards.
The IPUD shall minimize adverse impacts on surrounding property. The city is not obligated to
automatically approve the level of development intensity requested for the IPUD. Instead, it is expected to
approve only such level of intensity that is appropriate for a particular location in terms of land use
compatibilities. The city may require, as a condition of approval, any limitation, condition, or design factor
that will provide a reasonable transition to adjacent development.
In order to be approved, an IPUD project must be compatible with and preserve the character of adjacent
residential neighborhoods. Factors to consider in determining compatibility may include, but not necessarily
be limited to, proposed use, massing, and layout. Further, it must be an enhancement to the local area and
the city in general. Projects that fail to do so will be denied.
Each IPUD project is independent and will be evaluated solely on its own merits. The inclusion of certain
features in a previously approved IPUD project will not automatically be entertained as a valid argument for
the inclusion of that same feature in any other IPUD project if the city determines to reject those features.
b. Prerequisite Location Standards. The IPUD district it; creates an
opportunity to promote sustainability with respect to land use, energy conservation; and resource
management., and sees.,' o,,,,;*- Rezoning to the IPUD district is encouraged for proposed development or
redevelopment on lands that are in close proximity to existing infrastructure, public and alternative
transportation routes and modes, employment centers, community areas, or have stistained or ai-e
compliee"been impacted by environmental contamination. In reaching recommendations and decision as
to zoning land to IPUD, the Advisory Board and City Commission shall apply the following location
standards, in addition to the standards applicable to the rezoning of land generally:
(1) Any IPUD district that contains non-residential uses must principally front on streets classified
as "Arterial" on the "Functional Classification of Roadways" map in the city Comprehensive Plan;
(2) Any non-residential component must front on the arterial roadway or on an access road wholly
18
contained within the project with neither entrances nor exit on or visible from or disruptive to adjacent
properties, local streets, and rights-of-way.
2. Use(s) Allowed. See Chapter 3, Article N, Section 3.C. for specific regulations pertaining to the
IPUD district and Chapter 3, Article N, Section 3.13. ("Use Matrix Table 3-28") for a list of allowable uses.

development, creative design, improved living environment, orderly and eeenemieeWevelopment in the city,
and the protection of adjacent ity development. The district is suitable for
development, redevelopment and conservation of land, water and other resources of the city.
Regulations for planned unit developments are intended to accomplish the purposes of zoning, subdivision
regulations and other applicable city regulations to the same degree that they are intended to control
development on a lot -by -lot basis. In view of the substantial public advantages of planned unit development,
it is the intent of PUD regulations to promote and encourage development in this form where tracts suitable
in size, location, and character for the uses and structures proposed are to be planned and developed as
unified and coordinated units. Densities of such developments shall correspond with the respective FLUM
classification.
b. Prerequisite Location Standards. The PUD district is .,*:....,... • hen there is creates an opportunity

tranWortation facility so as not to create or generate traffic along streets in residential areas or districts
outside it.
(2) Public Facilities and Services. A PUD shall be located in relation to sanitary sewers, water
lines, storm and surface drainage systems, and other utilities systems and installations so that neither
extension nor enlargement of such systems will be required in manner, form, character, location, degree,
scale or timing resulting in higher net public cost or earlier incursion of public cost than would development

Such PUD's shall be so located with respect to necessary public facilities (e.g., schools, parks,
playgrounds) as to have access to those facilities in the same degree as under existing zoning, and shall be so
located, designed and scaled so that access for public services is equivalent to, and net cost for the services
under existing zoning.
(3) Topography. The site shall be suitable for development in the manner proposed without hazards
to persons or property, on or off the tract, from probability of flooding, erosion, or other dangers,
annoyances, or inconveniences. Condition of the soil, groundwater level, drainage, and topography shall all

(4) Access. Every dwelling unit, or other use permitted in the PUD, shall have access to a public
street directly or via an approved private road, pedestrian way, court, or other area dedicated to public or
private use, or common element guaranteeing access. Permitted uses shall not be required to front on a
dedicated public road.
(5) Utilities. Direct residential and/or consumer service should be by underground installation to the
maximum extent practicable; however, primary service to a general geographic area may be served with
overhead installation. Appurtenances to these systems which require above ground installation shall be
effectively screened, and, thereby, may be exempted from this requirement. Primary facilities providing
service to the site of the PUD may be exempted.

A. General.
1. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of the SMU zoning district is to implement the mixed use subuiban-
low (#A4SMXL), and -development of regional impact (DRI)_, future
land use map (FLUM) classifications of the Comprehensive Plan. In order to guide the redevelopment and
envisioned growth of the suburban area, the SMU zoning district requires a diversity of land uses,
accommodating a mixture of residential, office, retail, recreational, and other miscellaneous uses. Ideally,
the SMU district is intended to supplant the PCD district for new developments and projects to encourage the
inclusion of residential uses and well-planned mixed use projects designed in accordance with smart growth
principles and best planning practices. Densities of such developments shall
FLUIO , but in ne eas e pp_,greater than twenty (20) dwelling units per acre. This mix of uses
may be arranged either vertically or horizontally within low -to -mid -rise developments. The review of SMU
applications will emphasize aesthetics and design quality, and physical compatibility with adjacent land
uses. The specific objectives of the SMU district are as follows:
a. Support and enhance development and redevelopment efforts in suburban areas outside of the
downtown redevelopment area;
30
b. Create major new mixed use areas in planned locations with appropriate densities, heights, and
mixture of uses;
c. Create attractive pedestrian environments through appropriate separation from and design of
vehicular circulation areas;
d. Provide public plazas and gathering places that are both well-designed and integrated into the
overall design of the development;
e. Allow flexibility in architectural design and building bulk, while maximizing compatibility and
harmony with adjoining development;
f. Create higher quality environments for residents, businesses, employees, and visitors; and
g. Encourage innovative design that achieves vertical and horizontal integration of uses.

See. 5. Mixed -Use (Urban) Districts.
A. General.
1. Purpose and Intent. The urban mixed-use zoning districts are wwstl-intended to implement the CRA
Community Redevelopment Plans-ifftai:�= by providing for a mixture of land uses, accommodating varying
densities and intensities appropriate for each CRA district, and by establishing quality streetscapes and
pedestrian environments as part of a compact urban setting. The mixed use districts also support transit
ridership, in particular through higher density and intensity development within the designated Downtown
Transit -Oriented Development District (DTODD). Additional standards and requirements of this section are
based on the proximity to the planned train station, and location within the transit core, which is defined as
the area extending one-quarter (1/4) mile from the train station. To ensure compliance with these
Regulations, an application for site plan approval shall be required and reviewed concurrently with any
33
request to rezone lands to a mixed-use (urban) district, except as provided in Section 2.D. Le. Also see
Chapter 4, Article III, Section 6.447 for design and compatibility standards. The objectives of the mixed-use
(urban) districts are as follows:
a. Support and enhance revitalization efforts in the city's traditional commercial core area through the
provision of compact, transit -supportive, high density and intensity development;
b. Allow for commercial services to be provided to new residential developments in planned locations
with appropriate densities, heights, and mixtures of uses;
c. Create optimal pedestrian environments and spaces through well located public plazas, expanded
public sidewalks, maximized internal and external interconnectivity and design of pedestrian -friendly
vehicular circulation areas;
d. Allow flexibility in architectural design and building bulk while maximizing compatibility and
harmony with adjoining development;
e. Create surrounding areas that complement rather than compete with the downtown; and
f. Create higher quality environments for residents, businesses, employees, and visitors as determined
by how well the urban centers function seamlessly with respect to interconnectivity between the principal
uses, activity centers, and transportations systems, forming a cohesive and desirable sense of place.

Medium Future Land Use Classification for a majority of the District, which allows a maximum density of
fifty (50) dwelling units per acre. The remainder of the District is recormnended for the Mixed Use High
Future Land Use Classification and the corresponding maximum density of 80 dwelling units per acre. The
purpose and intent of the CDO are as follows:
a. Provide for a mix of'selected commercial residential office and entertainment uses and activities
with an emphasis on arts and cultural ventures that will encourage the adaptive re -use of existing -
buildings, restoration of historic structures, and maintain and further enhance the pedestrian scale and
historic character -of the area;
b. Encourage the location of specialty retail, art related uses and entertainment establishments, AM&
with pedestrian -friendly improvements that would complement and support relationships between the
downtown district and marina / waterfront attractions to the east and the cultural / civic campus to the
west;
c. Initiate implementation of'various recommendations contained within the CRA Redevelopment Plan,
d. Stimulate greater awareness of and pride in the City's architectural, historical, and cultural heritage;
e. Ensure that redevelopment within this area, regardless of underlying zoning; district, will maintain an
appropriate development scale; and
f. Improve overall livability of the general area and enhance property values.
