Multi-family dwellings may be conditionally permitted in a C-7 Office/Multi-family District in accordance with the standards and regulations set forth in this Code. These regulations are intended to encourage multi-family dwellings in specific locations of Stow identified in the Comprehensive Plan in order to achieve the following objectives:
(a) To allow creativity and variety in design as necessary to implement the various goals and objectives set forth in the Comprehensive Plan;
(b) To provide development options that are compatible with the C-7 goal of creating an "Office Park" environment along the Route 8 Corridor;
(c) To promote economical and efficient use of land through unified development;
(d) To protect adjacent lower density residential areas by requiring buffer areas between single-family dwellings and multi-family dwellings;
(e) To ensure that all multi-family development complies with these objectives by requiring a site plan and establishing a review process to ensure that all development is consistent with the approved plan.
