It is the intent of this chapter to:

A. Implement the goals and policies of the Northeast Area Element of the Comprehensive Plan as they relate to the area designated Hawks Prairie Business District.

B. Encourage development of an integrated, planned community where people will want to live and work, by permitting residential and compatible business uses to develop in close proximity to each other, with strong functional and aesthetic links, through the implementation of strict performance standards.

C. Assure that development is site sensitive, user efficient, and furthers the mixed-use policies of the Northeast Area Element of the Comprehensive Plan.

D. Assure that early development does not unnecessarily foreclose options for later projects and that new uses can be added without jeopardizing uses already established or planned.

E. Encourage originality, flexibility, and innovation in site planning and development, including architecture, landscaping, and graphic design, as well as circulation and infrastructure systems.

F. Assure that the natural and environmental characteristics and attributes of the district are preserved and enhanced.

G. Encourage and facilitate the use of mass transit and other forms of transportation alternatives to the single occupancy vehicle.

H. Provide for development consistent with the vision represented on the conceptual Hawks Prairie Business District site plans. This vision is of an area with distinctive character which includes such things as focal points at intersections and special site planning and building design considerations, all of which create a distinctive place to gather. The conceptual Hawks Prairie Business District site plans, Tables 16T-67 through 16T-70, are intended to serve as a guide in fulfilling the intent and provisions of the Hawks Prairie Business District.

I. Preserve an adequate supply of commercial areas located to maximize future market potential and to ensure the city is able to provide services for the projected growth in the region. (Ord. 1139 §4, 2000; Ord. 1054 §2, 1997).
