The intent of this district is to provide for the orderly and
integrated development of a campus-like professional business park
consisting of a variety of light industrial and office facilities
and uses for local residents, as well as the general public, encompassing
uses which will:
A. Encourage the construction on and continued use of land for a variety
of nonresidential uses that are generally less intensive than uses
permitted within the C-2 General Commercial District and are compatible
with abutting residential areas.
B. Provide reasonable performance standards for the establishment of
structures and uses that will permit continued economic development,
yet conserve the value of abutting residential areas. Such performance
standards shall manage the type and intensity of uses permitted and
minimize impact upon abutting residential areas.
C. Provide for and create a transition zone between residential districts
and other more intensive commercial and industrial districts.
In this district, no building or land shall be used and no building
shall be erected which is arranged, intended to be used or designed
to be used for other than one or more of the following permitted uses
in accordance with all other provisions of this chapter:
A. Planned business centers, as a conditional use only, in accordance with §
220-157.
B. Nonresidential uses shall be permitted in accordance with the NAICS
as follows:
