Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Land Use Category: “Business Park”
Description of Land Use Category: This category includes medium to large sized buildings in a low-rise format that house professional, administrative, light manufacturing and warehousing functions for private corporations. Development in this category should take the form of a cohesive, campus like environment where buildings are interspersed with open space areas and pedestrian walkways. Uses in this category should be separated from residential areas with landscaping buffers and should feature monument signage and lighting that is oriented away from adjacent sites.
Permitted Zoning Districts: O-1.5 O-2, C-3, BP, L
Land Use Category: “Heavy Industrial”
Description of Land Use Category:
This classification includes a mix of manufacturing, processing and fabricating businesses. Heavy industrial uses should be concentrated at arterials, expressways, and railroad lines. Sites developed in this category are not compatible with residential uses and should be separated from residential uses by an intermediate land use or a significant buffer. Any outside storage should be under a roof and/or screened from public view. Examples of heavy industrial uses include aircraft and railroad manufacturing, hazardous materials hauling or storage, paper products and wood manufacturing.
Permitted Zoning Districts: C-3, BP, L, I-1, I-2, MI-1, MI-2
