A. The Business Park (BP) Zone is intended to provide appropriately located land for high quality development that combines offices, compatible light industrial and manufacturing uses, and other appropriate uses. A mix of compatible uses is encouraged to allow for internalization of trips and appropriate intensity of development. Sites and structures shall be developed with quality architecture, landscaping, and site planning resulting in a campus-like atmosphere.

B. It is the further purpose of this zone to ensure compatibility between business parks and adjacent uses in terms of height, bulk, scale, and design; to mitigate potential adverse environmental impacts and nuisance effects on site and off site through careful planning, the use of buffering and screening, and the imposition of environmental performance standards and appropriate off-site mitigation requirements; to provide for the planned economic development of the city; to ensure that business park development is coordinated with the provision of adequate infrastructure by private applicants and the city, such as roads, drainage, and other utility systems; to require that business park developments pay their fair share of the costs of needed services and facilities; and to ensure that development occurs consistent with the goals and policies of the Moses Lake Comprehensive Plan and the Land Use element.
