A. District Character. The General Commercial (GC) district is intended to provide a wide range of general retail, business, and service uses to Town residents. GC areas are typically located at major street intersections and along primary roadway corridors. Development in the GC district is comprised of a mix of individual buildings on individual sites and multi-tenant or multi-building developments. Several forms of residential use types are authorized in the district, though provision on upper floors of mixed-use buildings is encouraged. Uses in the district are subject to standards intended to ensure development is compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods, ensure that the traffic carrying capacity along the Town's major roadways is not impaired due to unsafe turning movements, and that development is well landscaped and aesthetically pleasing. In order to maintain compatibility with surrounding uses and ensure a high quality of development, all activities, including storage shall be indoors or be fully screened from view from the street or from lands in lower-intensity zoning districts.

A. District Character. The Heavy Commercial (HC) district is intended to accommodate the widest form of commercial activities, including automobile oriented commercial uses, shopping centers, large retail uses, and intensive forms of commercial development. The HC district is characterized primarily by larger lots with low-rise single-use buildings configured for easy access by patrons traveling in automobiles. Uses may include outdoor activity, and hours of operation that extend beyond typical business hours. Buildings may be single-tenant or multi-tenant. Heavy commercial uses often include surface off-street parking areas, areas of outdoor storage and display, loading areas, and often include "outparcel" lots, or a series of lots served by shared circulation and ingress/egress points. Uses in the district serve Town residents as well as visitors from other areas. The district does allow mixed-use development, including buildings with upper floor residential, though low and moderate-density residential use types are prohibited given the commercially-intense nature of the district. Heavy industrial uses are also prohibited to ensure safe and efficient commercial traffic through the district.

A. District Character. The Light Industrial (LI) district is established to accommodate agricultural and light manufacturing uses, including assembly, fabrication, processing, distribution, storage, and wholesales sale of finished or semi-finished products from previously prepared materials. The district also allows commercial activities intended to serve the primary businesses in the district and their employees. Uses allowed in the district do not require large amounts of land or large building areas for operation nor large yard areas for isolation or protection from adjoining premises or activities. Activities take place almost entirely indoors and result in minimal exterior movement of vehicles, materials, and goods in areas around the district. Buildings are situated so as to have minimal visual impacts, and are well- screened from adjacent lower intensity uses. Heavy industrial uses and uses with significant adverse impacts on adjoining lands, single-family detached homes, and other low-intensity uses are prohibited.

A. District Character. The Campus Industrial (CI) district is established to accommodate modern, technologically-based, clean industrial development that takes place in highly controlled environments. Buildings and site activities are organized into a campus format, where off-street parking and services are centrally located to the site and serve two or more different structures. Operations within the buildings typically include bio-engineering, pharmaceuticals, precision fabrication and assembly, light manufacturing, research and development, offices, and related activities. Processing, materials storage, and service areas take place within enclosed buildings or are screened from view. Live/work structures and upper story residential uses are allowed. The district does not allow heavy industrial or retail, except as accessory uses. Land or structures may not be used for any purpose that causes noxious or offensive odors, gas fumes, smoke, dust, vibration, or noise that substantially interferes with other nearby uses.

A. District Character. The Heavy Industrial (HI) district is established to accommodate heavy manufacturing, assembly, fabrication, processing, distribution, storage, and research and development. It is typically located in areas with good access to surface transportation by trucks and rail. Development takes place on larger lots and is often enclosed by security fencing. The district accommodates large-scale industrial uses including outdoor operations or storage with extensive movement of vehicles, materials, and goods, truck traffic and greater potential for adverse environmental and visual impacts on neighboring lands. The district also allows limited forms of heavier commercial use types but residential development is prohibited (except for caretaker quarters as an accessory use). District standards are intended to prevent the establishment of any use types that would interrupt industrial operations.

The mixed use zoning districts are intended to accommodate development that mixes or blends different use types. More specifically, they are intended to:
A. Foster developments that mix residential and non-residential uses in the same building or in different buildings on the same development site;
B. Provide for living, shopping, and employment opportunities within close proximity to one another in a compact and orderly fashion;
C. Reduce dependence on the need for travel in an automobile to meet daily needs;
D. Encourage vibrant neighborhoods and centers of economic activity;
E. Allow for master planned development that surpasses the minimum expectations for development quality established in this Ordinance; and
F. Create appropriate amounts of flexibility to foster redevelopment, infill, downtown revitalization, and economic opportunities for Town residents.
(Ord. 2020-36, passed 12-2-2019)
A. District Character. The Office Institutional (OI) District is established to accommodate office uses, institutional facilities, educational uses, research and development facilities, corporate headquarters, and multi-family residential uses in high quality single-building and multi-building developments. Buildings have a wide range of sizes and heights, based on their function. The district also accommodates the ancillary service uses necessary to support the predominant office and institutional development, but is not intended as a retail district. Retail, personal service, and other commercial uses permitted as accessory to an office or institutional use should not occupy more than ten percent of the floor area and should be configured to minimize visibility from off-site areas. The OI District also serves as a transition area between higher intensity commercial uses and nearby lower density single-family residential neighborhoods. Development in the OI district is subject to design standards to ensure it maintains compatibility with its surroundings.
