The purpose of the LO Limited Office District is to encourage small office development of high character in a generally noncommercial environment. The offices allowed in the limited office district have relatively low traffic generation characteristics, require limited identification by signs, and are intended to buffer residential uses from more intensive nonresidential uses and nonresidential streets.
