15.2.17.1: STATEMENT OF INTENT:
This district is created to encourage the adaptive reuse of nonresidential buildings constructed in residentially zoned neighborhoods. The application of this district should increase the quality of life within neighborhoods by allowing nonresidential buildings to be used in a manner that has a positive impact rather than serve as a blighting force. Proposed uses should cater to the surrounding neighborhoods but may also need to have a broad community appeal in order to be economically viable. There should be a focus on providing pedestrian friendly options that encourage walking and biking, and eliminates the need for large parking areas. (Ord. 2014-48)
