the City. The aesthetic impacts from new developments and redevelopments must be
evaluated to help ensure the long-term viability and success of the District.
Accomplishing the purpose of the County Road 10 Corridor District requires particular
concern for the site layout, building materials, site features and other related design
elements. To that end, new development and redevelopment shall conform to the
standards in this and related zoning requirements. In reviewing and approving land use
applications, the City Council will make the final determination in the compatibility and
consistency with all provisions in this and related sections of the Zoning Ordinance.
