To justify an SPD designation and adoption of an SDP chapter, the planning and design commission and city council must determine that routinely-used zoning and other standard regulatory provisions should be replaced by, or supplemented with, specifically tailored provisions intended to positively benefit the district and its immediate surrounding area, based on one or more of the following criteria:
A. The SPD designation and chapter will offer a greater mix of land uses or intensities, thereby increasing the likelihood of attracting new private investment;
B. The SDP designation and chapter will promote retention of unique geographic or historic features consistent with quality land-use design practices;
C. The SPD designation and chapter will promote a significant reversal in a long-term trend of area economic stagnation or physical blight;
D. The SPD designation and chapter will stimulate major multiple-use development around a central or unique theme that has been supported by a market analysis;
E. The SPD designation and chapter will encourage significant elimination of incompatible land uses and the aggregation or massing of problem parcels for better development potential; or
F. The SPD designation and chapter will retain or enhance highly significant environmental areas or features worth retaining for the general public's benefit. (Ord. 2013-0020 § 1; Ord. 2013-0007 § 1)
