The purpose of the Central Business District is to integrate the recommendations of the city Master Plan and the Downtown Development Authority's market analysis and strategic action plan with the community's objective to revitalize its commercial core. The CBD zoning district acknowledges that the commercial core should retain a specific mixture of retail and office uses which favor pedestrian traffic and comparison shopping. Further, to promote revitalization of the commercial core and reinvestment in businesses and properties within the district, these regulations contain provisions specifying development and design criteria and standards for their review.
