The primary purpose of the Corporate Commerce District C-1 is to permit, where appropriate, the construction of facilities providing research and development, and information and communication services. This district is primarily for the location of high-technology facilities, office parks, research and development facilities and headquarters of corporations and organizations, with light manufacturing that is consistent with the purpose of this article. The district is also intended to provide a location for office, research, computer and telecommunication uses in a well-designed and landscaped setting. By establishing design and site development standards, the C-1 District encourages the. creation of a quality office and technology building environment. The district is also intended to allow various nonretail service-oriented uses in areas transitioning from residential to nonresidential uses, so as to preserve the residential character of the area. The district provides a greater variety of uses for existing residential structures/lots located along major roadways whose appeal as strictly a single-family residence is being impacted by increased traffic and development. Because of the generally low volume of traffic associated with such uses and their hours of operation and noise characteristics, they are compatible as transition uses.
