A.

TMU Transitional Mixed Use. This district encourages office / mixed office and residential uses at an intensity that compliments nearby residential land uses. These areas are most often found in developed, urban portions of the county and within the Urban Standards (US) overlay district. Areas found along major corridors were originally developed for residential areas. However, due to their location, the blending of office uses and higher density residential development have taken place. The TMU district encourages mixed development to continue.

B.

OLC Office/Light Commercial. This district allows for and is designed to accommodate mixed office, retail, and residential development. This higher intensity development will most likely occur within the Urban Standards (US) overlay district where public utilities are present and where access to major thoroughfares and/or transit is found. Development in OLC areas will most likely be at a higher intensity level than in the TMU district.

C.

O-1 Office. This district accommodates larger-scale office developments and complementary commercial service establishments.

D.

O-M Medical Office. This district is designed to accommodate medically oriented uses that lie close to Caromont Regional Hospital or other existing or planned community medical facilities in the County. Complementary uses are encouraged to be located near these medical facilities to better serve the general public. Uses that are non-medically related are generally excluded from this zoning district to not compete for space that could otherwise be developed for medically related uses. Given the relatively small amount of land suitable for such zoning, predominate uses in other zoning districts (i.e., residences, non-medically related retail uses) are not allowed in the O-M district.
