The district is intended to provide flexible and adaptable use or site development regulations by requiring standards tailored to individual properties. H ­ Historic Landmark combing district is intended to protect, enhance, and preserve individual structures or sites that are of architectural, historical, archaeological, or cultural significance. NPCD or (NP) ­Neighborhood Plan combining district is a zoning overlay used to implement a neighborhood plan that has been adopted by City Council and to allow certain special "infill" options. The term infill refers to "filling in" vacant parcels of land within a neighborhood. These infill options are only available when approved as part of an NPCD. Each adopted Neighborhood Plan area is able to establish its own NPCD. For some of the infill options, their location must be specified, but other infill proposals can be applied neighborhood-wide. The infill options available in the NPCD include Mixed Use Buildings, Cottage Lots, Small Lot Amnesty, Corners Stores, Secondary Apartments, Neighborhood Urban Center, Residential Infill, and Urban Homes.
