SECTION 18.53.010 Purpose
The purpose of this section is to implement the Croman Mill Site Redevelopment Plan. The district
is designed to provide an environment suitable for living, working and recreation. The CM zoning
district is a blueprint for promoting family-wage jobs, mixed-use developments, neighborhoods-
oriented businesses and community ser vices adjacent to transit in a manner which enhances
property values, preserves open spaces and significant natural features and reduces energy
consumption.
SECTION 18.53.020 Definitions
SECTION 18.53.030 Conformance with Croman Mill Site Redevelopment Plan
A. Conformance with North Mountain Neighborhood Plan
Land uses, streets, access ways and multi-use paths shall be located in accordance with those
shown on the Croman Mill Site Redevelopment Plan maps adopted by ordinance
1. Major and Minor Amendments.
a. Major amendments are those which result in any of the following:
(1) A change in land use.
(2) A change in the street layout plan that requires a street to be eliminated or to be
located in such a manner as to not be consistent with the redevelopment plan.
(3) A change in the Croman Mill Design Standards.
(4) A change in planned residential or employment density.
(5) A change not specifically listed under the major and minor amendment definitions.

2. Major Amendment Type II Procedure
A major amendment to the redevelopment plan shall be processed as a Type II planning
action concurrently with specific development proposals. In addition to complying with the
standards of this section, findings must demonstrate that:
a. The proposed modification maintains the connectivity established by the
redevelopment plan;
b. The proposed modification furthers the design, circulation and access concepts
advocated by the redevelopment plan;
c. The proposed modification will not adversely affect the purpose, objectives, or
functioning of the redevelopment plan.
