A. Business and Technical Park Zone (BTP). The purpose of this zone is to provide a zone within the city for business and technical parks. Although primarily intended for business and technical parks, other compatible uses are not excluded, particularly those of a professional or business office, wholesale, manufacturing, and research development nature; provided they are capable of operating in a manner that is consistent with the intent of the zone. It is specifically intended to be a practical zone for tracts which, by reason of small size, might otherwise be difficult to develop into a business park or technical park as usually understood by the general public.

It is expected that the character of development in the BTP zone will be of high aesthetic standards: BTP-zoned areas are anticipated to be in highly visible locations, reflecting on the entire community. Also, the BTP zone has been designed to serve as a transitional zone near residential areas, and adequate aesthetic treatment of the BTP areas can minimize the impact of this use on nearby residences.

B. Light Industrial Zone (LI). The LI Light Industrial Zone is established to provide an area where light manufacturing and wholesaling operations involving little retail contact may be carried on; provided the uses conform to the performance standards of LMC 21.50.150.

The character of development of this area will be such that it will be in keeping with the highest standards of industrial parks, promoting beauty, comfort, and generally improving the area.
