iQ <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. I-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 />tight 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 />
