Businesses may be large or small but will generally <br />arrange themselves in a campus setting with limited walkability and supporting <br />services. Developments of this type should be kept small in nature to limit the peak <br />transportation impact and limited vitality. <br /> <br />Employment - These areas include a wide range of business, light industrial, office, <br />research and development, along with related/support services uses including <br />restaurants, small scale retail and convenience shopping/services. Buildings and <br />uses will be sited to limit the visual impact of service and warehousing operations, <br />while still providing convenience for business functionality. These areas are in prime <br />locations with good access to major road networks (where capacity exists or is <br />planned) and rail if needed and should be reserved for high return employment <br />generating uses. <br /> <br /> 48
