Sec. 300-10. The CRA includes six (6) form -based districts.
The Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) is divided into several zoning districts. Six (6) of
those districts are form -based districts that are unique to the CRA. Except for Section 301-20(B),
which is gpplicable to all properties located within the Regional Activily Center (RAC) Future
Land Use designation as identified in the Cily's Comprehensive Plan, Article 300 shall not apply
to the Planned Mixed -Use Development District (PMUD) established pursuant to article 340,
subpart 5 of part 3 of this chapter or the Planned Small Lot Mixed -Use Development District
(PMUD-SL) established pursuant to article 350, subpart 6 of part 3 of this chapter. Each form -
based zoning district has a set of regulations that apply to it, called "district development standards"
in article 303. The district standards include:
(A) A generalized list of permitted uses. The detailed list of permitted, special exception and
prohibited uses is in article 302, discussed further in section 300-20, below.
(B) Building placement and height standards, discussed further in section 300-30, below.

based upon the building's function and character, discussed further in section 300-40,
below.
(D) The types of ground story configurations that are allowed along street frontages, called
"frontage types", which are discussed further in section 300-50, below.
Sec. 300-30. How to determine the buildable area of a lot, allowable density and building
height.
(A) The district standards in article 303 for each district include a map showing maximum
allowable height within the district. Permitted height varies within some districts based upon
location. Axticle 304 has the rules for interpreting the maps.
(B) Permitted height and density is identified as "by right" and "with incentives." This means that
in order to exceed the height, density or both permitted "by right", the developer must earn
incentives sufficient to achieve the maximum height, density or both permitted on the lot.
Incentives are detailed in article 305. See additional regulations found in Section 301-20(B)
