The purpose of the Office Park Commercial Zone
is to provide areas in the Town where office parks involving business
offices but not retail sales nor industrial products might be located
in a manner that is not totally inconsistent with residential areas
but which may serve as transition zones from lower density residential
to higher intensity residential and commercial uses and may involve
traffic and other impacts that would begin to degrade the residential
environment.
Only the following buildings or uses are permitted
of right in an Office Park Commercial Zone:
A. Bank or other financial institution with or without

be limited to no more than two drive-through lanes.
