Downtown Business District
I pieced this map together and I believe it to be accurate but please make any decisions based on a map you receive from the city.  The text below the map is copy pasted from the code.  The north boundary is THE RIVER.
cbd.JPG (101299 bytes) All of the zoning inside these yellow boundaries is extremely forgiving regarding on-site parking, setbacks, etc.   I'll try to link to the code to illustrate but the code is new on the internet and it wasn't immediately clear to me just where are the downtown specifications.  If you want to build something inside these yellow boundaries don't rely on the planners.   This is very confusing for them too and they can not memorize the specifications for every area, especially this downtown core. Verify with the code in hand.
The downtown core area which is described as that area bounded by the center lines of Smithers Avenue South from South Fourth Place to South Third Street and Morris Avenue South from South Third Street to South Second Street and South Second Street from Morris Avenue South to Logan Avenue South, bounded on the north by Cedar River, east to Mill Avenue South, south to South Fourth Street and west to Smithers Avenue South shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section. This area shall also extend to the west property line of those properties fronting along the west side of Logan Avenue South between South Second Street and Airport Way, but in no case shall the area extend more than one hundred ten feet (110’) west of the Logan Avenue South right-of-way. (Ord. 4466, 8-22-94; amd. Ord. 4671, 7-21-97)
