(A) Generally. The Peninsula South District is intended to recognize the character of plats that were created prior to 1968 and, as far as possible, allow for reasonable development. The district is also intended to promote waterfront residential land uses and enhance and protect the existing character of the district.

This district is designed to be more restrictive than other residential zones because of its proximity to water and the undeveloped portions of the city.
