A. - Purpose and intent.

The General provisions of this zoning ordinance establish standards and procedures that apply to the city as a whole, rather than to any one specific zoning district or area of the city. These provisions govern the methods by which measurements of density and lot size should be taken, limits on the use and placement of accessory structures, rules for home occupations and other home-based businesses, expectations for future infrastructure planning, and the location of communications towers and equipment.
