Chapter 16.054 — B/IP BUSINESS/INDUSTRIAL PARK DISTRICT

The Business/Industrial Park (B/IP) District is intended to provide for a variety of professional and office uses, restricted industrial uses primarily engaged in research and testing, or in light manufacturing and the treatment of materials, that will maintain and enhance employment opportunities in the community. The B/IP District is also intended for commercial uses that do not serve community and neighborhood needs and/or commercial uses that are not compatible with other commercial uses allowed in commercial zoning districts elsewhere in the City. All uses are required to meet the Environmental Protective Standards of Chapter 16.154 to protect and maintain the residential character of the City.

All development in the B/IP District shall be designed to provide attractive sites that will complement one another, and be compatible with surrounding residential areas and other adjacent development. The allowable development intensity in this district is intended to be lower than in commercial districts to maintain and enhance the general residential character of the City.

The regulations in this chapter shall apply to all land in the B/IP District. Any and every building, premises, and land in the B/IP District shall be used or occupied and every building shall be erected, constructed, established, altered, enlarged, maintained, moved into or within this district only in accordance with all applicable sections of this chapter and regulations of this title.
