The purpose of the Special Planning District (SPD) is to regulate the development and use of property in areas throughout the City that contain sensitive or unique environmental, historic, architectural, or other features which require additional protections and flexibility not provided through the application of the current standard Zoning Ordinance, and to promote creative and sensitive site planning. It is the intent of this section to provide for a district which will permit a greater range or mixture of compatible uses in areas than would be allowable in the standard zoning classifications of this Zoning Code while also requiring features that protect against negative impacts of incompatible land uses or harm to the environment. It is the purpose of this District to provide an effective method for the City to guide the development of such areas so as to preserve such unique characteristics or to provide for the greater range or mixture of land uses when appropriate.
