[Added 2-4-1985]
The purpose of this zone is to encourage large-scale
coordinated development of office research facilities in order to
capitalize on the tract's location at a grade-separated interchange
on U.S. Route 1. The size and location of the tract lends itself to
development at a greater intensity of land use than other available
nonresidential areas in the Township. As such, development standards
have been established to encourage integrated development for corporate
office and research facilities.
