The purpose of the OP office park district is to provide a controlled and protected environment for the development of professional offices and selected service activities at accessible locations in the village. The OP district is further intended to implement the village land use plan for land that is designated as office park. The OP district is not intended to allow any industrial, storage or retail businesses. In addition to the professional office and selected service uses that are permitted uses, other selected service uses which would not normally be appropriate in the OP district may be allowed as special uses with conditions specified by the village board of trustees to safeguard the public health, safety, morals and welfare. (Ord. 98-36, 10-13-1998)

The regulations set out in this chapter include additional regulations over and above those regulations contained in any other provisions of this title. All uses within the OP district must conform to the regulations and performance standards described in this chapter. These regulations apply to both individual lots and to larger developments with multiple lots. In case of conflict between the regulations in this chapter and those of any other provisions of this title, the regulations in this chapter shall prevail unless the conflicting regulation of the other provisions of this title clearly requires a more stringent standard. (Ord. 98-36, 10-13-1998)

The OP district is designed to allow considerable latitude in the range of professional offices allowed; provided, that the uses are legal and no outdoor storage is conducted except as specifically provided for herein. Permitted uses are listed according to the standard industrial classification (SIC) manual published by the office of management and budget, 1987 edition. Three (3) copies of the 1987 SIC manual are on file in the office of the village clerk.
