Zoning districts are established to promote compatible patterns of land use within the City limits. Zoning districts also establish site development regulations and performance standards appropriate to the purposes and the uses allowed in each district. The staff reviews zoning requests for compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan, development guidelines, zoning codes and physical characteristics of the surrounding area.
