§ 5-3-6 DTC DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

   (A)   Applicable provisions. The provisions of Chapter 1 of this title are applicable to the DTC District, subject to the specific provisions of this section.

   (B)   Intent.

      1.   The Downtown Commercial District is intended to recognize the unique differences of the downtown area from the other C-1 District areas. The City Council finds that the downtown area requires special consideration under this title to encourage the downtown area’s rehabilitation and development. This designation allows for the provision of mixed use activity in the downtown area.

         2.   Vertical mixed use projects, where residential uses are located above commercial or office uses, are encouraged. Professional office uses are permitted to allow construction of new office unified centers, as well as the redevelopment of existing areas to office use. Multilevel parking garages can provide for shared use parking needs within the downtown area. New development shall conform to design guide standards.

   (C)   Permitted uses and development standards. Please refer to §§ 5-3-15 through 5-3-17 , Tables 2 through 9, of this chapter for an indication of permitted uses and development standards for the DTC District.
