The decision to rezone land to PD and to approve the final plan are accomplished concurrently. All PD final plan submissions are deemed to be an application for amendment to the Zoning Code according to §§ 155.2701 through 155.2712. All procedures (Planning and Zoning Commission Review, public hearings, and action by the Council), shall be followed in considering an application for a rezoning of the land in question to PD. Upon approval of such plan and rezoning, the Zoning Map shall be amended to designate the project area as "PD-RS" or "PD-MX." Thereafter, with the concurrent approval of the rezoning and final plan pursuant to the criteria stated in § 155.1509, all development restrictions and conditions described in the final plan shall become official requirements of the PD.

Minor changes, as defined herein, are allowed provided such requests conform to the standards established by the final development plan and this chapter. A minor change shall require approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and shall include the following:

(a) They do not result in an increase in the number of housing units approved in the final plan.
(b) They do not encroach materially into the established setback areas.
(c) They do not create a larger building mass either through an increase in their height or length that would magnify their effect on the adjoining areas.
(2) Alterations to the proposed drives and/or parking areas, provided they do not encroach into building areas or specified recreation areas.
(3) Adjustments in the size and location of development identification signs.
(B) A major change is any change that does not meet the criteria above, and in addition, is one which would constitute a significant alteration in the basic plan design or result in a use different from those originally intended. A major change shall require submittal of a final plan as defined in § 155.1507, of that portion of the development proposed to undergo a major change.

DOWNTOWN HISTORICAL DISTRICT
A Historical District for the Downtown Business District is hereby established as an overlay zoning district within the area designated on the Zoning Map. As an overlay district, it imposes development standards that are in addition to those established in any underlying zoning district.
(Ord. 37-02, passed 7-10-02)
Signage controls defined within the Downtown Historic District are created to advance three purposes:
(A) To encourage the proper development and use of planned graphic signing systems and to regulate signs and signing systems in the Downtown Historical District.
(B) In addition to protecting from distractions and obstructions that can contribute to traffic and pedestrian accidents, it is the intent of these regulations that signs are as much subject to control as noise, odors, debris, and like characteristics of a use that, if not controlled and regulated, can become a nuisance factor to adjacent properties or the community in general.
(C) To protect the general health, safety, and welfare, and to protect and encourage a more attractive economic, business, and overall physical appearance for the community, all signs and signing systems are subject to the regulations that follow in this subchapter.
(Ord. 37-02, passed 7-10-02)
All temporary and permanent signs to be erected within the Downtown Historical District, except those specifically excluded herein, shall require a certificate of appropriateness and a sign permit before being erected.
