The nonconforming use amortization combining district may be combined with any district, in accord with the provisions of Chapter 18.08 and Chapter 18.80. Where so combined, the provisions of this chapter shall apply to required termination of certain nonconforming uses, in lieu of the comparable provisions of Chapter 18.70.
(Ord. 3048 (part), 1978)
The nonconforming use amortization combining district may be established only when the planning commission recommends and the city council makes the following findings:
(a) That the proposed district contains three or more nonconforming uses covering one-third or more of the parcels in a total area not greater than fifty acres, and each parcel containing such use or uses is no greater than two hundred feet from the next parcel containing such use or uses;
(b) That the formation of such district would tend to reduce deterioration, blight, and long-term vacancies in the proposed district;
(c) That the formation of such district would not be injurious to the property or improvements of conforming uses within the proposed district and the immediately surrounding area.
When established, the nonconforming use amortization combining district classification shall be identified on the zoning map by the letter "N" within parentheses, following the general district classification.
(Ord. 3048 (part), 1978)
Upon establishment of a nonconforming use amortization combining district, the planning commission shall recommend and the city council shall adopt a period for required termination for all nonconforming uses within the district subject to termination as provided in Section 18.70.070. Said period shall be the period for required termination of such uses within the district and shall supersede the periods set forth in Section 18.70.070. Any ordinance enacted pursuant to this chapter shall state the applicable period of time on its face. In recommending and adopting such period, the planning commission and city council shall take into consideration, but not be limited to: the nature of construction of the facilities within the district subject to amortization, the ages of such facilities, the nature of the existing zoning, and ability to convert such facilities to accommodate conforming uses.

The purpose of the workforce housing combining district is to incentivize development of new housing that is affordable to the local workforce. This combining district promotes the development of such housing projects located within one-half mile radius of a major fixed-rail transit stop by providing flexible development standards and modifying the uses allowed in the public facilities (PF) district.
(Ord. 5443 § 2 (part), 2018)
The workforce housing combining district may be combined with the public facilities (PF) zoning district set forth in Chapter 18.28 of this title, in accord with Chapter 18.08 and Chapter 18.80, on any parcel that is located within one-half mile radius of a major fixed-rail transit station platform with the exception of sites in park use or being used for outdoor recreational purpose or within 25 feet of such a use at the time of adoption of this chapter. Where so combined, the regulations established by this chapter shall apply for workforce housing projects in lieu of the uses allowed and development standards and procedures applied in the underlying PF district. A property owner may elect to use the parcel consistent with the underlying district, in which case the regulations in Chapter 18.28 for the PF district shall apply.
