(a) Purpose. The Central Business Expansion District (CBD EXP) is reserved for those projects that meet the definition of a Level III development within the boundaries of the Central Busi- ness District (CED). The CED is the primary retail, office, hotel, institutional, cultural and entertainment center of our com1nunity. There is also a sizable and growing residential population often located in higher density multifamily developments. A high priority is placed on design and placemaking by integrating new development with existing architecture in a respectful and cohesive manner. Design review guidelines in place fOr the downtown area remain as a companion document for consideration of these applications. Development within this district should facilitate the multimodal circulation patterns and access needs of the sizable pedestrian population. The Central Business District Expansion District is a conditional district that is applied for through a rezoning application.
