   (a)    The U-5 (HR) and U-5 (HR) MU Office Building High-Rise (Overlay)

Districts are intended to provide overlay zoning districts devoted exclusively to professional, business, financial, sales and governmental services and certain specifically enumerated ancillary uses, provided that:

      (1)    All such activities are conducted within enclosed buildings designed and developed in a totally unified, organized and harmonious arrangement of buildings and public spaces;

      (2)    No goods are distributed therefrom;

      (3)    Such uses will maintain the basic character of the underlying U-5 Office Building and Research Laboratory District in terms of building and site appearance; and

      (4)    The degree of activity and other aspects of operation will be compatible with the surrounding areas.

   (b)    The U-5 (HR) and U-5 (HR) MU Districts are established by this Zoning Code and are defined as overlay districts on the official Zone Map adopted as part of this Zoning Code. As disclosed by the Zone Map, land located in a standard U-5 District may also be located in a U-5 (HR) or U-5 (HR) MU District. In situations where land is located in both Districts, all provisions of this Zoning Code applicable in the standard U-5 District shall apply to such land and any structure thereon except during such time as a preliminary plan for a U-5 (HR) or U-5 (HR) MU District use has been approved and is in force and effect. During such time as an approved U-5 (HR) or U-5 (HR) MU preliminary plan is in force or effect, all provisions of this Zoning Code and chapter applicable in such U-5 (HR) or U-5 (HR) MU District shall also apply to such land and any structure thereon, provided that during such time, the provisions of this Zoning Code and chapter applicable in a U-5 (HR) or U-5 (HR) MU District shall prevail and take precedence over any conflicting provisions of this Zoning Code or chapter applicable in a standard U-5 District.
