The restrictions and conditions applied to this zone shall be designed to promote the development of a park like atmosphere which will be conducive to the construction of buildings and parking lots which are pleasing in appearance and which harmonize with the surrounding built and natural environments.
In addition, these regulations are designed to promote flexibility in building design, to promote efficient use of the land, to provide both active and passive open space, and to insure a quality of construction commensurate with the community's appearance standards as set forth herein and as are from time to time established by the Board of Aldermen.
When the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Aldermen determine that it is in the City's best interest, established standards for building heights and area regulations may be varied to promote design flexibility and the community standards as provided herein.
