18.63.02 Intent and Purpose.
The Hospitality Development Zone is intended to provide for the coordinated development of planned commercial projects oriented to the traveling public (as defined in Chapter 18.02) in an orderly and aesthetically pleasing manner that buffers surrounding land uses as needed and preserves the City’s equestrian lifestyle. The zone establishes a more comprehensive review procedure with flexibility in development standards to accommodate the distinct features and opportunities of individual areas and properties. It is intended that areas within the HD Zone are developed in a manner that reflects any unique characteristics of the congruous area upon which the zoning exists by blending the built environment with these characteristics. (Ord. 932, 2011)

The regulations and general rules set forth in this chapter shall apply in Hospitality Development Zones. The regulations provide for a review of comprehensive development plans and for use and development on existing lots. Where a conflict occurs between the requirements of this chapter and other City requirements, this chapter shall apply. Any proposed project including, but not limited to, division of land, site plan or any grading wholly or partially within a Hospitality Development Zone shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 932, 2011)
