Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed former Art. XII, OA Office-Apartment Districts, as amended.
A. 
O Office District. The O Office District is intended to accommodate development of large office complexes. This district sets aside large parcels of land where architecturally coordinated office structures can be built in a campus-like atmosphere. Typical office uses include corporate headquarters, research and development facilities, and office parks. To provide additional services to both employees and visitors to the campus, a limited amount of commercial uses, such as retail establishments and restaurants, are also allowed.
B. 
LI Limited Industrial District. The LI Limited Industrial District is intended to accommodate select non-nuisance research and industrial uses, which require significant lot area and proper buffering when located adjacent to residential neighborhoods. The LI District encourages only those research and industrial uses that would not constitute a hazard or a nuisance to the adjacent development. To provide additional services to both employees and visitors to the campus, a limited amount of commercial uses, such as retail establishments and restaurants, are also allowed.
C. 
PIP Planned Industrial Park District. The PIP Planned Industrial Park District is intended to accommodate select modern, non-nuisance uses, such as light industrial, warehouse, distribution, administration, office and research establishments. The district is particularly suited for development of large corporate campus facilities and industrial parks. To provide additional services to both employees and visitors to the campus, a limited amount of commercial uses, such as retail establishments and restaurants, are also allowed.
[Amended 7-13-2015 by Ord. No. HR-410; 9-19-2022 by Ord. No. HR-456; 12-5-2022 by Ord. No. HR-461]
Only those uses listed in Table 40.1: Office and Industrial District Uses as permitted, special exception, or conditional uses are allowed within the office and industrial districts. A "P" indicates that a use is permitted within that zoning district. An "SE" indicates that a use is a special exception use in that zoning district and must obtain a special exception approval. A "C" indicates that a use is a conditional use in that zoning district and must obtain a conditional use approval. No letter (i.e., a blank space) or the absence of the use from the table indicates that use is not allowed within that zoning district. When a P, C, or SE is annotated with a "*", such use is only allowed when accessory to an office or industrial park principal use of the site, and is integrated into the larger development.

[Added 12-5-2022 by Ord. No. HR-461]
The following design standards shall apply to the development of a compatible multifamily dwelling or apartment house. To the extent the following design standards conflict with the design standards of § 181-50, § 208-102 or other applicable provisions of this Zoning Ordinance or Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance,[1] the following design standards of this § 208-42.3 shall apply.
A. 
A compatible multifamily dwelling or apartment house shall abut or share a tract (which may include more than one lot) with an auxiliary health club and/or full-service hotel within the Office District having a minimum gross floor area of 75,000 square feet and a minimum of 25,000 square feet of active indoor and outdoor amenities inclusive of fitness facilities, swimming pool and cafe/restaurant and shall be subject to a recorded joint covenant between the lots (in the event they are not on the same lot), which may include provisions for access, site amenities, walkways, shared parking, area and bulk and other criteria as applicable. Each individual lot need not meet the area and bulk requirements of the Office District as long as the totality of the tract (which may include more than one lot) is compliant with the applicable area and bulk requirements of the Office District, including any prior variances for the tract.
B. 
The auxiliary health club and/or full-service hotel and compatible multifamily dwelling or apartment house shall be developed pursuant to a common plan of development or the auxiliary health club and/or full-service hotel shall be in existence at the time of a land development application for the compatible multifamily dwelling or apartment house.
C. 
A proposed compatible multifamily dwelling or apartment house shall include pedestrian connectivity to the auxiliary health club and/or full-service hotel, which shall include covered walkways, sidewalks and/or crosswalks.
D. 
A compatible multifamily dwelling or apartment house shall have a lot area for the tract of 3,700 square feet per dwelling unit, with no more than 200 dwelling units.
E. 
A compatible multifamily dwelling or apartment house shall be limited to studio, one- and two-bedroom dwelling units.
F. 
Impervious surfaces shall be minimized through the use of structured parking facilities and green roof buildings in which the green roof shall be 50% of the gross roof area of the compatible multifamily dwelling or apartment house, excluding the parking structure.
G. 
In addition to the stormwater requirements of Chapter 174, the Stormwater Management Ordinance, compatible multifamily dwelling and apartment house developments shall have stormwater management controls designed to:
(1) 
Exceed the net two-year volume requirement defined in § 174-20C(1)(b)[1], Groundwater recharge and volume control standards, by at least 25% on a tract-wide basis through recharge, evapotranspiration, and/or on-site capture and reuse.
(2) 
Exceed the baseline peak rate control requirements in § 174-23, Table 23.1, Stormwater peak rate control and management standards, by at least 25% for all design storms on a tract-wide basis.
H. 
Parking spaces for a compatible multifamily dwelling or apartment house and auxiliary health club and/or full-service hotel shall be calculated for the totality of the tract, subject to the joint covenant between the lots (in the event they are not on the same lot). Parking for the auxiliary health club and/or full-service hotel shall be based on the parking requirement set forth in § 208-103. The number of parking spaces for a compatible multifamily dwelling or apartment house on a tract, based on § 208-103, may be reduced by up to 25% during the land development process at the discretion of the Planning Commission, based on a parking analysis prepared by a qualified traffic engineer.
I.
