    near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, in areas adjoining downtown Austin and major
    institutional or employment centers, and in other selected areas where highest density multifamily use is
    desirable. CO- Conditional Overlay combining district may be applied in combination with any base
    district. The district is intended to provide flexible and adaptable use or site development regulations by
    requiring standards tailored to individual properties.
