This district is established to permit greater flexibility and more creative, innovative and imaginative design for the development of areas that are generally not possible under the strict application of the regulations of the other districts. It is further intended to promote more economical and efficient use of the land while providing for a pleasing and harmonious development and environment, including opportunities to provide for a high level of urban amenities, and the preservation of open spaces. The regulations of this district are intended to encourage the use of this district in order to integrate multiple uses into the development; to adapt the proposed use(s) to meet the conditions of the site; and to effect certain economics in public facilities.

Due to the nature and implications of a district zone which provides for such a broad spectrum of land use and a more challenging responsibility for the delivery of public services, considerations and quasi-judicial deliberations relating to the compatibility of the district to a particular site shall permit greater discretionary review and broad latitude in applying conditions and limitations for a permitted development. The compliance with all standards set forth in this division and the submittal of all specified documents and data shall not entitle an applicant to this district classification. (Ord. 19997 § 1, 5-3-16.)
