Section 25.58.010 Purpose.

The BGM zone is intended to provide a general business zone which will accommodate and strengthen the role of the central business district as the focus of the Sioux City metropolitan area through the development and preservation of uses and intensities appropriate to a regional commercial, office and cultural center. A variety of activities are encouraged, especially those which increase daytime and nighttime pedestrian activity, including downtown residences. Off-street parking is not required for individual buildings to encourage compact development and resultant ease of pedestrian access to all portions of the central business district. (Ord.
