16.13.010 Purpose.

This chapter provides regulations applicable to development and land uses in the Innovation Zoning District (INN) as established by 16.06.010 (Zoning Districts Established). The Innovation Zoning District is applied to areas primarily for business and medical offices, corporate headquarters, medical services, business campuses with associated research and development facilities, education, technological advancement, makers labs such as people using digital tools to design new products, and craftsman products such as furniture and window design/construction. A limited amount of commercial uses are allowed within the Innovation Zoning District. Examples of allowable commercial uses include: businesses that sell products made in facilities on-site, restaurants that support the employment and primary uses, and hotels. Commercial businesses are intended as support services for the employees and customers of the office, business, and medical uses with their associated research and development operations. The Innovation Zoning District provides for a limited amount of housing as a supporting use to a facility such as a hospital, college or university, research and development campus that would directly benefit from having employees and students living on-site.
