The intent of the O-1, office district is to accommodate various types of administrative and professional offices, as well as personal service businesses, which can serve as a transitional use between more intensive land uses (such as thoroughfares and commercial uses) and less intensive residential uses.

This district is intended to prohibit those types of retail uses and other activities that typically generate large volumes of traffic, traffic congestion, parking problems, or other impacts that could negatively affect the use or enjoyment of adjoining property. Accordingly, modern low-rise office buildings in landscaped settings with ample off-street parking are considered most appropriate for this district.
