The purpose of this District is to establish a procedure whereby the City Council or the Planning Commission may initiate proceedings to regulate property in areas throughout the city that have unique environmental, historic, architectural, or other features which require special conditions not provided through the application of standard zone regulations. It is recognized that in certain circumstances it may be desirable to provide for a greater range or mixture of uses in an area that would be permitted in the standard land use zones of this code. It is the purpose of this district to provide the method for the city to guide the development of such areas so as to preserve such unique characteristics or provide for a broader mixture of land uses when appropriate.
(A) Designation. An SPA District shall be designated by the abbreviation "SPA" followed by a number peculiar to the specific designated zoning map. Property so classified is subject to the provisions of this section and an ordinance adopted pursuant to this section.
