range of residence types, as well as commercial uses that serve the inhabitants of the
immediate community and surrounding neighborhoods.
The standards for creating a new PMU district set out herein are intended to
promote flexibility of design and diversification and integration of uses and structures. The
process set out herein allows the City Council to evaluate applications to establish new
PMU districts and to render final determination as to whether applications should be
approved, approved with conditions, or denied. In addition, the City Council may establish
such additional limitations and regulations as are deemed necessary to protect the public

Overall General Fund revenues for the month of February 2014 have decreased $79,301 (2.42%) when
compared to February 2013.
The major sources of revenues for the General Fund are taxes, franchise fees, intergovernmental
revenues, licenses, permits, fines, forfeitures and charges for services. With a recovering economy and
most of the City’s revenues derived from ad valorem taxes, the revenue budget is essential for existing
and critical City services. The City is conservative in budgeting revenues to account for the current
economic condition.
