1. Business and Technical Park Zone. This section establishes two categories of development standards for the Business and Technical Park zone based upon the manner in which the subject site is oriented to residential zones. These categories are defined as:

a. Transitional. Transitional sites are those sites which have street frontage within 100 feet of an RS zone as measured from either the front or side property line of the industrial zone.

b. General. General sites are those sites which are surrounded by multiple-family, business, commercial and/or industrial zoning so there is no RS zone within 100 feet of the front or side property line of the industrial site.

2. Light Industrial Zone. This section establishes two categories of development standards for the Light Industrial zone based upon the manner in which the subject site is oriented to residential zones. These categories are defined as:

a. Transitional. Transitional sites are those sites any part of which is within 100 feet to any residential zone or a P-1 zone as measured from any property line of the industrial site.

b. General. General sites are those sites which are surrounded by business, commercial and/or industrial zoning so there is no residential or P-1 zone within 100 feet of any property line of the industrial site.
