The new regulations included a detailed Planned Unit <br /> Development(PUD)process that was based on an updated version of the City's existing PUD <br /> Y g <br /> Overlay District process. <br /> The City also rezoned the property to two new zoning districts, Mixed Residential and Mixed <br /> Business, which correspond with the future land use designations in the City's Comprehensive <br /> Plan. As part of the rezoning, Staff developed an updated land use chart that pertained only to <br /> the TCAAP property zoning districts and was not incorporated into the City's other districts. <br /> Because not all of the land uses identified in the new land use chart had definitions in the <br /> existing Zoning Code, several new definitions were added. Other land use classifications that <br /> were included in the TCAAP land use chart already existed in the Code, but were p <br /> brought u to <br /> g <br /> date or clarified. <br /> Through the process of drafting the new zoning regulations for the TCAAP a number of <br /> property <br /> opportunities for improvements within other sections of the Code, and for other districts within <br /> the City, became evident.
