intent, standards are in Sec on 9-1200.

zoned MU.
• This district is allowed in all DB and DN prefi xed
districts, however, allowable uses vary.

Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ)
Number One
A TIRZ district was created in 1999. Currently all
por ons of the study area are included in this TIRZ
except several blocks along the south side of North
Street between Center Street and West Street.
The TIRZ Number One plan has iden fi ed the TIRZ
boundary with a vision for mixed-use near down-
town and an auto-oriented focus on Division Street.
Analysis and Key Observa ons
• The TIRZ district is sunse ng in 2019, meaning
that redevelopment in the study area past 2019
would not be included in the tax increment
funding process.
• The general loca on of many an cipated public
improvements are envisioned for Center Street
and Mesquite Street within the study area.
Several public right-of-way improvements have
already taken place in these areas.
• The TIRZ should be studied and renewed to
include the recommended projects included in
the following chapter.
