The written text of the Metro Plan shall take precedence over the Metro Plan diagram where apparent conflicts or inconsistencies exist. Metro Plan Diagram The Metro Plan diagram designates the property for Low Density Residential Uses. However, the Metro Plan recognizes that up to 32% of residentially designated areas typically accommodate nonresidential uses such as parks, schools, roads, churches, and neighborhood commercial services. The historic Johansen-Moody House is an example of an appropriate site for nonresidential use within a residential area. The proposed Special Area Zone includes a list of residential and limited non-residential uses, including office uses and certain small scale commercial uses, in compliance with the Metro Plan diagram and Metro Plan policies as detailed below. Applicable Metro Plan Policies Policy A22: Expand opportunities for a mix of uses in newly developing areas and existing neighborhoods through local zoning and development regulations. The proposed SAZ language expands opportunities to utilize historic properties in ways not possible through conventional zoning. 2/,
