The full names, short names, and map symbols of the established industrial and research zones are listed below. When this title refers to industrial zones it is referring to the general industrial zone (I-1) and the heavy industrial zone (I-2) listed below. When this title refers to the research zones, it is referring to the research development park zone (RDP) and the office research park zone (ORP) listed below.
A. General Industrial Zone (I-1): The purpose of the general industrial zone (I-1) is to provide the opportunity for the development of most types of industrial firms. Regulations are designed to protect adjacent development.
B. Heavy Industrial Zone (I-2): The purpose of the heavy industrial zone (I-2) is to provide for heavy or intense industries. The zone is designed primarily for manufacturing and fabrication activities, including large scale or specialized operations having external effects that could impact adjacent less intense commercial or industrial uses.
C. Research Development Park Zone (RDP): The purpose of the research development park zone (RDP) is to provide areas for the development of office, research, production or assembly firms and other complementary uses. Office and research uses should predominate in the zone. The requirements of this zone protect uses in this zone from adverse impacts of uses on adjacent land. Hotels, motels and similar uses should be located along the periphery of the zone or in locations that do not adversely affect the setting and quality of other development for the uses permitted in the zone.
D. Office Research Park Zone (ORP): The purpose of the office and research park zone (ORP) is to provide areas for the development of large office and research firms and other complementary uses. The requirements of this zone protect uses in the zone from adverse impact of uses on adjacent land and protect adjacent more restrictive uses. Hotels, motels and similar uses should be located along the periphery of the zone or in such other locations that do not adversely affect the setting and quality of development for the permitted uses of this zone.
