[Added 6-13-1978 by Ord. No. 5-78]
A planned office park is a lot or tract of land,
consisting of not less than 10 acres held in single and separate ownership,
which has been platted to provide for three or more permitted uses
with special emphasis given to aesthetics and compatibility of uses
within the tract. A planned office park shall be developed by a single
person or body according to an overall plan, subject to review and
approval by the Board of Supervisors following Planning Commission
review pursuant to the provisions of the West Goshen Township Subdivision
and Land Development Ordinance of 1976, as the same may from time
to time be amended. Where the developer elects to develop an entire
tract under this article, the area of an individual lot (except for
a nursing or convalescent home) may be reduced to one acre, provided
that the average of the area of the individual lots for the entire
tract, excluding the area for convalescent or nursing homes, but including
any lots remaining in open space, shall be not less than two acres.
It is the specific intent of this article to provide for selected,
attractive, modern office and compatible use development in areas
where traditional business or industrial development would be inappropriate.
A Planned Office Park District may be used for
any one or more of the following purposes and no others:
A.
Nonprofit recreational use.
B.
Office building, medical office building or clinic,
including outpatient medical services, professional offices, sales
offices (excluding on-site retail sales), manufacturers' representatives
and similar uses.

Scientific or industrial research, testing or experimental
laboratory or similar establishment for research or product development,
provided that there is no commercial or industrial production or storage
of any commodity or substance, except for storage necessary for scientific
research.
E.
