RATIONALE <br />1. Purpose/Mission <br />In accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 Zoning Atlas and Unified <br />Development Ordinance Amendments of the UDO, the Planning Director has <br />initiated a text amendment that would establish use standards to allow certain <br />principal uses (Industrial (Light), Research Facility, or Research and Manufacturing <br />Facility) to include a small component of other specific uses in the O/RM <br />(Office/Research and Manufacturing) zoning district. This amendment will allow for <br />uses that primarily serve and support the needs of the business, facility, and <br />employees involved in the principal use without overpowering the intended purpose <br />of the O/RM zoning district. <br /> <br />Attachment 1 5
