A. Lot Size, Minimum: The minimum lot size within the Entertainment District is five thousand (5,000) square feet. This is designed to accommodate three (3) story mixed-use structures with two (2) floors of minimum five hundred (500) square feet apartment units that are able to provide on-street parking. Should parking need to be handled on-site, either the lot size increases, or the number of units decreases to meet this demand.
1. Upon application, City Council may allow density averaging in order to maximize the amount of open space provided.
(a) An increase in density application must to include the addition of passive or active open space.
2. For mixed-use developments that include residential units above first floor commercial, the requested average number of units shall not exceed two (2) per one thousand (1,000) square feet and must be consistent with the master plan land use designation.
B. Lot Width, Minimum: Lot size, including width and dimension shall be included in the site plan and shall be compatible with surrounding established neighborhoods and able to accommodate the setback, open space, and all other relevant requirements of the Entertainment District.
C. Front Yard Setback: Front yard setbacks shall be zero (0) feet in the Entertainment District.
1. The purpose of this setback is to help bring activity to the public realm and provide street enclosure for passing vehicles narrowing their field of vision and resulting in slower speeds. A front yard setback of zero (0) feet is also intended to ensure parking is located at the rear of the building, allowing for a more-dense and lively streetscape.
2. All setback lines shall be measured between the nearest points between any building facade and the nearest property line or right-of-way.
3. Outdoor patios at the front yard setback must be designed in a way to structurally be a part of the building and provide the zero setback.
4. Front yard setback above the first floor of development shall be five (5) feet to ensure patios and balconies for residential units in a mixed-use building. The presence of patrons, resident and visitors provides 'eyes on the street' and increases the feeling of safety and accountability, as well as adds life to the district.
D. Side Yard Setback: The minimum setback for side yards not facing a public street shall be fifteen (15) feet.
1. The purpose of this setback is to accommodate growth in the area as common driveways to shared rear parking lots are utilized.
E. Side Yard Setback, Corner Lot: For corner lots, where common access will not be necessary, the side yard setback shall be five (5) feet.

F. Rear Yard Setback, Minimum: The minimum setback from a rear lot line shall be fifteen (15) feet for primary and accessory structures.
G. Building Height Requirements: The maximum height of any structure in the Entertainment District shall be forty-two (42) feet, except as otherwise provided herein.
1. This design accommodates three-story mixed-use developments with retail or restaurant space on the first floor that requires ceiling or utility space greater than ten (10) feet. The height maximum is intended to serve the usable space of a building, and therefore shall not include any necessary rooftop screening structures.
2. It is encouraged that the building cornice be designed and utilized in a way to provide screening of rooftop units.
3. For Mixed-Use and Retail structures, no more than three (3) stories shall be permitted. The maximum height of accessory structures shall be fifteen (15) feet.
4. For hotels and convention centers, the maximum height shall be fifty-two (52) feet.
