a. Successional Zoning. The City's growth and evolution over time will inevitably require changes to
the boundaries of certain Transect Zones. These changes shall occur successionally, in which the
zoning change may be made only to a lesser Transect Zone; within the same Transect Zone to a
greater or lesser intensity; or to the next higher Transect Zone, or through a Special Area Plan. All
changes shall maintain the goals of this Code to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide transitions in
Intensity, Density, Building Height and Scale.
3. For all successional zoning changes of less than nine (9) acres, refer to the table below.
