§ 94-118. Quadrille garden district (QGD).

(a)

Intent. The Quadrille garden district is intended to function as a transition zone between the Quadrille business district and the waterfront.

Development should respect the scale of the pedestrian streets, Dixie Highway, and Olive Avenue. The preservation of existing Florida vernacular buildings is encouraged to commemorate the architectural heritage of the city. High percentages of tree canopy and landscaping are encouraged to provide a shaded public realm and a distinct garden character.

(b)

Development characteristics.

(1)

A high percentage of landscaping and tree canopy is encouraged to support the district's residential and garden character.

(4)

Rooftop gardens are encouraged.

(5)

Active uses are encouraged for all building frontages which face the historic county courthouse site on Dixie Highway.
