The S Special Area zone provides procedures and criteria for recognition of areas of the city that possess distinctive buildings or natural features that have significance for the community and require special consideration or implementation of conservation and development measures that can not be achieved through application of the standard base zones. In some cases, an S Special Area Zone is applied to implement a plan for an area identified for nodal development. Application of S Special zone to a lot containing a specific building, structure, object, site or archeological resource that qualifies as an historic landmark will ensure that permitted uses encourage preservation of historic qualities.
