io <br /> ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS DESIGN MANUAL <br /> PART TWO: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> SECTION 2.2 PERMITTED USES <br /> (ZONING ORDINANCE SECTION 6.29.3) <br /> Proposed Amendment <br /> Section 6.29 Economic Development District Design Manual; <br /> Part Two (2) Performance Standards; Section 2.2 Permitted <br /> Uses; page 2.2.1 <br /> Permitted Uses <br /> As noted in the preceding section, Economic Development <br /> Districts are divided into two major development categories: <br /> Primary and Secondary. In Primary Development areas, a <br /> wider range of acceptable nonresidential uses is permitted. <br /> However, since Secondary Development Areas are provided <br /> as a "step-down" or transition between Primary Development <br /> Areas and neighboring residentially zoned or developed <br /> property, the range of permitted uses is limited to office and <br /> residential uses. <br /> In the table presented on the following pages, individual <br /> uses permitted in the Primary and Secondary Development <br /> Areas are identified for each Economic Development District. <br /> The rationale for distinguishing between each district is as <br /> follows: <br /> 1. 1-85/Buckhorn Road - <br /> This district is broken down into three (3) sub- <br /> districts intended to: <br /> A. Concentrate retail, office and services land <br /> uses within a specific portion of the district <br /> where the primarily existing land use is <br /> single-family and institutional land uses, <br /> B. Concentrate wholesale, manufacturing, and <br /> light industrial uses within a specific <br /> portion of the district where there are <br /> numerous undeveloped properties and <br /> where existing utility and transportation <br /> infrastructure is readily available to support <br /> high intensity non-residential and uses, and <br /> C. Allow for transition zones to encourage <br /> development on the fringes of the district to <br /> be compatible with surrounding land uses <br /> 7 <br />
