Performance zoning is a method of regulating land use based upon flexibility and creativity. When this approach is used, it supersedes the standards of conventional zoning districts. Under performance zoning, land uses are permitted based upon meeting certain site criteria rather than upon their location in a specific zoning district. The increased flexibility of performance zoning enables the landowner to work with the constraints of the site and to buffer adjoining uses. Performance criteria include site capacity, evaluation and buffer standards which are described in § 27-804, 27-805 and 27-806 of this Chapter.
