Several contract DDD parcels in the City are outside the downtown area. This is typically done when a proposed use for a parcel would not meet a requirement of the previous zone, such as a setback. As these parcels are typically in areas surrounded by other S&PS or GC&S parcels, sign standards of those zones are more appropriate than DDD sign standards.
