"Given the 1994 Design Manual is tailored for° light industrial assembly and distribution in the I-85/Buckhorn Raad Economic Development District, ,flexibility thrrough the planned development approach is paramount. Requested waivers from the EDD manual are identified herein according to the affected districts and proposed land uses" Actually, the EDD Design Manual (1994 with revisions through 2003) establishes the performance and design standards for all development projects, in all of the County's 3 Economic Development Districts. Its performance and design criteria were written to address a variety of land uses and development potentials within the three County EDDs. There are literally 9 pages to the Permitted Use Table contained within the EDD Design Manual, that outline the variety of uses allowed in one district or another. ~ other words, the performance and design standards of the EDD Design Manual were not intended to apply to only light industrial development in only the Buckhorn Road EDD. The performance standards contained in the Design Manual are designed to have the flexibility to address "a wide range of light industrial, distribution, flex space, office, service, retail, and residential uses".
