1177.02 PURPOSE.

   (a)    The City contains certain large parcels of land which have not been developed to their full economic potential. The development of these parcels as currently zoned is deemed impractical, and not in keeping with the best interests of the City. In order to preserve and promote the best use of these parcels as well as their orderly development, they should be placed in a separate zoning category which would permit thereon combinations of uses including family dwellings, commercial buildings, entertainment, community amenities, offices, professional and research buildings, and other compatible uses.

   (b)    The purpose of this use classification is to designate, regulate and restrict the location, design and use of buildings, structures and 'interior streets; to promote high standards of exterior appearance of buildings and grounds; to stabilize and improve property value with the smallest possible burden on municipal services and facilities with the highest possible return to the City from tax revenues consistent with maintaining and improving the general character of the City; to promote health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare; and thus to provide the economic and social advantages resulting from an orderly planned use of these large parcels of land.
