regulations that may have been incorporated by reference to the
general provisions of a zoning ordinance then in effect) continue

activities conducted on, or any new construction (including grading)
on land in such PD or RPD zone is subject to the regulations of

and developments more consistent with site characteristics than
are allowed in other zones, and so create an optimum quantity
and use of open space and encourage good design. The PD zone
permits establishment of a single use or the integration of several
uses not ordinarily permitted by the regulations of any other
zone. Such flexibility is possible only if use and development
is in compliance with a. complete development plan showing
relationships of the use or uses to each other, to the district
as a whole, and to surrounding areas.
SEC. 4.82.030 P D AND UNDERLYING ZONE ALTER

used and the PD ordinance expressly incorporates provisions of the
underlying zone. However, once land is used in the manner provided
in one of the zones an election shall not then be made to use the
land in the manner provided in the other zone unless the land is
made to conform in all respects to the rules of the other zone.

SE C. 5.20.020 ARCHITECTURE AND SITE AP PU RPOSE AND INTE
Achievement of the following goals is important to maintain
the continuation of the economic well- -being and stability of the
Town and the preservation of the health, safety and welfare of its
citizens: (1) quality in architectural design in residential and
commercial structures and site complementing the Town environment,
-25-
and (2) the preservation of.open spaces in the form of recreational
areas, malls, plazas and pedestrian areas.
In the main, the Town contains small businesses, professional
office's and residences. Municipal revenues derive principally from
the property tax and taxes derived from retail trade. Local
employment depends to an unusual extent on the success of small
business ventures, which in turn depend on trade in specialty items
sold to visitors. Much of the business and residential area of the
Town is composed of a mixture of old and new buildings and the
condition and style of each reflects on the other. For example,
a new building loses value and its occupant's trade is diminished
if an old building nearby is permitted to decay, and old buildings
are permitted to decay when the design of new buildings nearby does
not compliment them.
The purpose of Architecture and Site Approval is to regulate
the height, width, shape, proportion, siting, exterior construction
and design of buildings to insure that they are architecturally
compatible with their surroundings and to promote a unified but diverse
and distinctive theme which harmonizes with adjacent commercial and
residential development.
