Page 16 SECTION 9: REPEAL "5.2 CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT (CBD)" of the Rexburg Development Code is hereby repealed as follows: REPEAL 5.02.010 Purpose And Objectives The CBD is established to recognize the historic central retail and service center of the City. The CBD Zone is intended to be located only in the central core area of the City and to be expanded out from that central area in an orderly and progressive manner as the demand for additional commercial land is generated. This zone will tend to encourage an architectural theme, which will strengthen the continuity of the downtown area and give it a "character" with which the citizens of Rexburg can identify. The CBD Zone is a mixed -use zone and residential uses are encouraged on the upper floors of the downtown buildings. The CBD Zone is to be characterized by wide, clean, well -lighted streets, ample pedestrian ways, and vehicular parking lots for the convenience and safety of the public. Attractive, inviting, and well -maintained shops, stores, offices, and other buildings are also characteristic of this zone. On -street parking serves many of the businesses. 5.02.020 Architectural Design Standards A. Introduction. Developments ni the Central Business District shall unplement projects with an overall community design in mind and in conformance with the downtown blueprint hereby adopted. The need exists for Design Standards to be in place to ensure developments are coordinated into the overall community presentation and to preserve the integrity of the existing business district and in the downtown as the "center" of the community. These standards require a basic level of architectural variety, compatible scale, pedestrian and bicycle access, and mitigation of negative impacts. The intent is to allow flexibility in design, while reviewing projects for compliance to the Downtown Guiding Principles and Development Framework as described below: Guiding Downtown principles. The City of Rexburg values the historical sense of place that the downtown has provided for over one hundred (100) years. Recent studies have identified several guiding principles that will guide the continuation of the downtown core over the next hundred years. These principles are as follows: a. Downtown is a Pedestrian -Priority Area. b. Downtown is the Civic, Social, and Cultural Center of Rexburg and Madison County. c. Downtown is Highly Attractive to visitors and has a "historic" sense about it. d. Downtown is the Heart of "America's Family Community." e. Downtown is a Mixed -Use Center, which includes Retail, Office, Page 17 Residential, Entertainment, Culture, and Educational facilities. f. Downtown is Highly connected to the City, Region, and to BYU- Idaho. g. Downtown is guided by Public -Private Partnerships, including Agencies. h. Circulation System Manages "Through" and "To" Traffic Strategically. i. Downtown Way -Finding and Parking Systems are User -Friendly. j. Downtown Hosts a Central Plaza for Community Events and Activities. k. Downtown is a great Place to Work, Visit, Shop, Learn, and Live. 2. Downtown Development Framework. The Development Framework that has been identified and within which the community will pursue a revitalization blueprint is as follows: a. Define and Focus Development on Target Markets. b. Emphasize Mixed -Use Development with Ground Floor Retail. c. Infuse Residential Units Downtown. d. Build a Sound Parking System for Employees, Customers, Visitors, and Residents. e. Build a Pedestrian and Cycling Pathway Network Linking Key Downtown Nodes. f Undertake Infill, Redevelopment, Adaptive Re -Use, and Historic Preservation. Implement an Urban Renewal Program. g. Install Small Business Amenities and Services to Draw this Market. h. Design the Place of Downtown for America's Families. i. Connect to Community & Region with Wayfinding, Gateways, Parking, Amenities, and Marketing. j. Recruit Social Retailers to Reconnect with Major Regional Markets. 5.02.030 Permitted Uses The following principal uses and structures indicated as "P", and no others, shall be permitted in the CBD zone.
