These standards will be used by the city as the minimum 36 requirements for evaluating development proposals and site plans. However, the standards are not 37 intended to restrict creativity in design. An applicant may request modification or waiver of any 38 standard in favor of an alternate approach that will achieve the same design objective. Development 39 standards set forth in this section (600-699) shall supersede those set forth in in the Development 40 Framework. 41 42 620 Uses 43 The following sections specifies permitted and conditional uses within each subdistrict of the COR district. 44 The uses have been allocated to the individual districts to allow reasonable use of properties in a manner 45 that is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan, the purpose of each zoning district, and the overall 46 purpose of this chapter. Any use may be combined within buildings (vertically) or in separate buildings 47 (horizontally), unless otherwise specified. Whenever in any zoning district a use is neither specifically 48 permitted or denied, the use shall be considered prohibited. Page 91 of 160
