It is intended that business parks be developed in a campus-type environment consisting of significant open space and architectural compatibility between buildings. Prior to the construction of any buildings or the subdivision of any land within the BP Zone, a development plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the Hearing Examiner. In order to receive approval, a park design shall incorporate the following:

A. Buildings, parking areas, and other impervious surfaces, exclusive of public rights-of-way and recreation areas developed and accessible to the public, shall cover no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the site.

B. Perimeter landscaping as required in Chapter 18.57 and interior open space amenities (either natural or manmade) for the benefit of park employees, including landscaped lawns, courtyards, and/or plazas.

C. Limited access points to adjoining public streets defined by substantial landscaping features and/or public art.

D. If a site contains both an office building and a building for industrial activities, then the office building(s) should be located along adjoining arterial streets and the industrial building(s) should be located to the rear or sides of the site.

E. Loading docks, solid waste and recycling facilities, and other service uses should be located in visually unobtrusive areas and screened from view from adjacent properties and streets.

F. Parking areas shall be located within the development. Parking lots shall not be located between a public street and a building unless no other feasible alternative exists. The maximum width of parking lots located along a public street shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the property’s frontage on the street. A thirty foot (30') wide landscaping area shall be required as specified in Chapter 18.57. All parking lots shall comply with Chapters 18.54 and 18.57. Required perimeter landscaping shall not apply toward the required interior parking lot landscaping. (Ord. 2949, 4/14/20; Ord. 2144, 12/9/03)
