21A.37.060: DESIGN STANDARDS REQUIRED IN EACH ZONING DISTRICT: 2
This section identifies each design standard and to which zoning districts the standard applies. If a box is 3
checked (X) or noted with a dimension, that standard is required. If a box is blank, it is not required. If a 4
specific dimension or detail of a design standard differs among zoning districts or differs from the 5
definition, it will be indicated within the box. In cases when a dimension in this table conflicts with a 6
dimension in the definition, the dimensions listed in the table shall take precedence. 7
