The Business/Industrial Park (B/IP) District is intended to provide for a variety of professional and office uses, restricted industrial uses primarily engaged in research and testing, or in light manufacturing and the treatment of materials, that will maintain and enhance employment opportunities in the community. The B/IP District is also intended for commercial uses that do not serve community and neighborhood needs and/or commercial uses that are not compatible with other commercial uses allowed in commercial zoning districts elsewhere in the City. All uses are required to meet the Environmental Protective Standards of Chapter
16.154 to protect and maintain the residential character of the City.
All development in the B/IP District shall be designed to provide
attractive sites that will complement one another, and be compatible
with surrounding residential areas and other adjacent development.
The allowable development intensity in this district is intended to
be lower than in commercial districts to maintain and enhance the
general residential character of the City.
The regulations in this chapter shall apply to all land in the
B/IP District. Any and every building, premises, and land in the B/IP
District shall be used or occupied and every building shall be erected,
constructed, established, altered, enlarged, maintained, moved into
or within this district only in accordance with all applicable sections
of this chapter and regulations of this title.

side setback shall be 35 feet. These setback areas, with the exception

may allow structures to encroach within these setback areas in order
to achieve a better design quality as long as the total area of required
landscaping is not diminished.

shall be 10 feet. Where an individual lot abuts a residential zoning
district, the abutting side setback shall be increased to 50 feet.
The Architectural Commission may allow structures to encroach within
these setback areas in order to achieve a better design quality as
long as the total linear length of required setback is not diminished.
3. Rear setbacks. The minimum rear setback shall be 10
feet. The Planning Commission may allow an exception in cases where
an industrial site abuts another industrial site. Where an individual
lot abuts a residential district, the abutting rear setback shall
