The purpose and intent of the ROR-1 Residential Office Retail District is to provide areas for residential or commercial uses, or a compatible mixture of these uses, at low intensity. It is not the intent of this district to encourage extension of strip commercial areas; but, instead, it is to encourage rede velopment of existing commercial uses to residential uses on large lots. Developments in this zoning district which are also located within a designated community redevelopment area as such area is defined in Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes, shall be reviewed by the Community Redevelopment Agency (See Sec of the Zoning Ordinance) for compliance with adopted Redevelopment Plans. SEC PERMITTED PRINCIPAL USES AND STRUCTURES. (SUB JECT TO PROVISIONS OR RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED HERE AND ELSEWHERE IN THE CHAPTER.)

In addition, when the principal use is a retail grocery and/or sundries store, filling station or utility substation, it shall require Site Plan Approval by the City Manager if the gross floor area is less than 10,000 square. Uses and structures with gross floor area greater than 20,000 square are Special Excep tions. Site Plan Review for residential (except nursing homes) will be determined by unit count. Site plan applications for those permitted uses which are reviewed by the City Manager will be forwarded to the Environ mental Development Commission for approval if they require variance to the regulations or if a formal protest to the plan has been filed with the City Manager or if, in the judgment of the City Manager, the potential impact of the proposed develop ment is such as to warrant Commission review.
