No citywide dimensional standards apply. Each PAD has its own uses, densities, and dimensional standards set in its adopting ordinance and Development Agreement, approved through the procedure in Sec. 8.6. Property converted to PAD from the obsolete Planned Community (PC) district generally keeps developing under its existing approved PAD or CMP Overlay District, so long as entitlements have not been terminated (Sec. 2.7.1.B). Confirm the specific PAD ordinance number and Development Agreement for the property before relying on any use or dimensional assumption.

Obsolete district; no new rezonings to RR are permitted. Existing RR parcels develop under the dimensional standards in Appendix B and the permitted uses in Appendix C, plus the design standards in Article 5. The City recommends converting to AG on any new development proposal.

Obsolete district; no new rezonings to PR are permitted. Existing PR parcels develop under the dimensional standards in Appendix B and the permitted uses in Appendix C. The City recommends converting to PAD if an approved plat exists, or to R1-6 if it does not; PR lots smaller than the R1-6 minimum lot size when converted are treated as legal nonconforming (Sec. 2.7.1.B.2).

Obsolete district; no new rezonings to MR are permitted. Existing MR parcels develop under the dimensional standards in Appendix B and the permitted uses in Appendix C. The City recommends converting to NMU.

Obsolete district; no new rezonings to PC are permitted. Property with an approved PAD or CMP Overlay District continues to develop under that existing approval (Sec. 2.7.1.B.1). Without an approved PAD or CMP Overlay District, the City recommends converting to R1-43. This code is by far the most common zoning code still carried on the City's own zoning GIS layer, covering large master-planned communities entitled before the 2025 Development Code rewrite; do not assume base-district dimensional standards apply to a PC-coded parcel without confirming its governing PAD, CMP, or Development Agreement.

Obsolete district; no new rezonings to CC are permitted. Existing CC parcels develop under the dimensional standards in Appendix B and the permitted uses in Appendix C. The City recommends converting to CMU.

Obsolete district; no new rezonings to SU are permitted. Existing SU parcels develop under the dimensional standards in Appendix B and the permitted uses in Appendix C. The City recommends converting to AG outside the Historic Downtown, or to DR inside the Historic Downtown.
