Residential and commercial activities should be prohibited. <br />The district should include conditional use provisions to allow a <br />case -by -case review of proposed projects. It should also include <br />landscaping and buffer requirements. <br />• Residential areas currently zoned R-3 and R-4 in the northeast <br />portion of the City should be examined to determine if their <br />current classification reflects the goals of the community to <br />maintain very low density residential development or if the land <br />should be rezoned R-1 or R-2. <br />• Develop more complete submission requirements for <br />development proposals including special use permits and sign <br />permits, and formalize the review process.
