15.2.30.1: STATEMENT OF INTENT:
This overlay district is established in response to changes in society’s expectations for commercial and leisure activities, the impact of which can be seen in many commercial areas. There are many land uses that at one time would not have been considered for a planned business district, but would not be detrimental to the existing uses; they may even complement them in unexpected ways. The purpose of this overlay district is to create flexibility in land use and stimulate growth strategically in some commercial areas. In order to allow for denser development, there are no minimum parking requirements, and no minimum lot and yard size requirements for property within a RO district. The Retail Revitalization Overlay District is primarily designed for Planned Business District zones, but could overlay other commercial districts, too. Property within a RO district will still maintain its base district; where a conflict results between the regulations of this overlay district and other provisions of this Ordinance, the provisions of this overlay district shall control.
