GENERAL PURPOSES

The "Special Limited Commercial District" established in this Resolution is designed to promote and protect public health, safety, general welfare and amenity. These general goals include, among others, the following specific purposes:

(a)        to preserve, protect, and enhance the character of Historic Districts as the location of many of the city's most valued cultural assets;

(b)        to improve circulation patterns in the areas in order to avoid congestion arising from the movements of large numbers of people;

(c)        to help attract a useful cluster of shops, restaurants, cultural attractions and related activities which will complement and enhance the areas as presently existing; and

(d)        to promote the most desirable use of land in these areas and thus to conserve the value of land and buildings, and thereby protect the City's tax revenues.
