Regional Commercial Center


• Intended to serve as the regional foci of commercial activity providing retail commercial services, entertainment and business offices for residents within the city as well as outside the City.


• Business parks may combine office and light industrial/research uses.


• Could include high intensity employment centers.


Office/Business Park


• Business parks may combine office and light industrial/research uses.


• Provides for users that do not generate noticeable external effects.


Light Industrial/Business Park


- Limited industrial provides for uses that do not generate noticeable external effects.


- Business parks may combine office and light industrial/research uses.


Industrial


- Provides for a range of industrial enterprises, including those with significant external effects.

• Strict control over signage, landscaping, and design is necessary for locations nearer to low intensity uses.


• Should incorporate well-defined entrances, shared internal circulation, limited curb cuts to arterial streets, sidewalks and shade trees in parking lots, landscaping on planter strips between the parking lot and street, and well-designed, monument-type signage.

- Zoning regulations should encourage business parks, including office and office/distribution uses with good development and signage standards.


- General industrial sites should be well-buffered from less intensive use. - Sites should have direct access to major regional transportation facilities, without passing through residential or commercial areas. - Developments with major external effects should be subject to review.


- May be permitted in a number of different areas, including residential areas.


- Individual review of proposals requires an assessment of operating characteristics, project design, and traffic management.
