Campus Office. The Campus Office land use designation applied to the Primary Planning Area would read
as follows:
Campus Office (.25 to .80 Floor Area Ratio).
This designation is intended to provide an attractive. campus-like setting for office and other non-retail
commercial uses that do not generate nuisances related to emissions. noise. odors, or glare. Anticipated uses
include. but are not limited to the following: professional and administrative offices: administrative
headquarters; research and development; business and commercial services: limited light manufacturing:
assembly and distribution activities. Ancillary uses which provide services to businesses and employees in
the Campus Office area are permitted. These uses include restaurants. gas stations, convenience shopping,
copying services, branch banks. and other such services. Under special circumstances (e.g., where a mixed-
use development would decrease potential peak-hour traffic generation, meet a specific housing need.
encourage pedestrian access to employment and shopping, or create an attractive. socially-interactive
neighborhood environment), residential uses may be permitted as part of a masterplanned mixed-use
development. In such developments. the residential component would not be permitted to occupy more than
50% of the developed area.
