  • 4.4.1

    Intent Statements

    A.

    O1 Arterial Office District

    The O1 District is designed to function as an office and related employment use area along major roadway corridors. The intent is to encourage high-quality office development that serves as a transitional use between the arterial roadway and adjacent residential areas of the City.

    Transition areas adjacent to residential districts and areas at or near major intersections are identified as having a significant impact on the City. This is due to the need to protect the integrity and environment of the City's residential neighborhoods, traffic safety conditions and the land use character of key intersections. Therefore, all development proposed within these districts shall be subject to site plan review and approved as specified in 2.1.3.

    B.

    O2 Exclusive Office Park District

    This district is designed to function primarily as an employment district. It provides a use and design opportunity for major office related employment uses to locate within the City. The intent is to encourage the development of a campus-type office environment protected from incompatible uses.

    However, the district also permits a limited amount of distribution functions which are often combined with office functions. These special uses are intended to facilitate the development of multi-tenant buildings (i.e., "Flex Tech" or "Business Park" developments) that may be suited to small business which by necessity must combine office, distribution and light processing at a single location.
