Employment and Industrial Zones Revised
9.2400 Purpose of E-1 Campus Employment Zone.
The purpose of the E-1 Campus Employment zone is to implement the Campus Industrial designation of the comprehensive plan by providing large areas for a variety of light industrial and office-based scientific, medical, research and development, or other professional firms to locate in a campus-like setting. In general, this zone is designed for firms that will help achieve economic diversification objectives and that typically have a large number of employees per acre. The activities of such firms do not generate offensive external impacts and usually do not tolerate substantial noise, pollution, or vibration from surrounding uses. The “campus” setting is characterized by enhanced landscaping, pedestrian amenities, and unique architectural design. Provision is also made for small-scale complementary commercial uses that primarily serve employees in the area and are preferably part of a mixed-use development.
