Matching Zone Conversions
Conversion Process
• Establishing new 21st-century zones for a mid-size city based on best practices
• Matching “straight” or “base” zones from existing Zoning Code • Matching permissive uses from SU-1 zones
• SU-1 for C-1 plus uses = C-1 conversion = MX-L • SU-1 for C-2 minus uses = C-2 conversion = MX-M • Existing uses from SU-1 grandfathered in = nonconforming • Existing site plans stay in effect • If unclear, left as Planned Development (PD), regulated per Site Plan
Table 2-1-1
SU-2/SU-3 Zone Conversions
• Table: https://abc-zone.com/document/su-2-conversion-table • If refer to straight zones = straight zone conversion • If not, match bundles of permissive uses to closest IDO zone • Adjustments
• Public comments • Dimensional standards

Frequently Asked Questions
• Are we fixing mismatches between existing land uses and existing zoning? • No, that’s a second step after we adopt an IDO that establishes appropriate zones and
regulatory tools.
• Are we upzoning/downzoning properties? • Uses in individual zones ARE changing in some cases. This is a whole new regulatory
system and can’t be compared one-to-one. • Proposed zoning conversions are from general bundles of uses to similar bundles of uses. • Requests for individual properties need to be compared to citywide effects & best
practices.
• What about “takings”? • Zoning conversions do not deprive property owners of all financial value of properties. • Proposed zoning conversions are citywide and constitute a legislative action within the
City’s authority.
