Appendix 9541. Purpose.

The purpose of the freeway corridor overlay district shall be to recognize the importance of the land use, architectural design, and appearance of development within the freeway corridor to the city's image, to establish special design guidelines for all development within said areas, and to establish findings that will ensure that future developments are compatible with the city's historic character.

The areas within the freeway corridor overlay district are "gateways"; they are seen first by visitors and residents as they pass through the city, and as they exit the freeway to enter the city. These areas are of crucial importance in establishing the city's identity and character in the minds of visitors and residents.
