The OR district is intended to serve as a transition zone between commercial and single- and two-family residential areas permitting adaptive reuse of existing building stock, which will normally be residential in character. This OR district is not intended to have any application in undeveloped or newly developing areas of the city or on land made vacant through intentional demolition. Development standards remain flexible to allow conservation and reuse of existing buildings. This district should be located in areas abutting arterial and/or collector streets which are, because of location and trends, suitable for development of low intensity office uses, and high intensity residential uses.
