(A) General purpose. The purpose of the special districts is to recognize there are unique areas within the city that require special treatment to provide for their continuance or preservation. Unlike residential, commercial or industrial zoning districts that exist to regulate development, special districts provide mechanisms for the protection of undeveloped areas, federal lands, or recreational resources that are located within the city.
(B) Special Districts.

The intent and purpose of this district is to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the community by protecting and preserving open space as a limited and valuable resource which conserves natural resources, protects scenic vistas, provides recreational opportunities, and contributes to the overall quality of life in the city. These properties or parcels have been set-aside and designated by the city for these purposes.
