The PO Planned Office District is provided in recognition that many office establishments seek to develop within unified commercial areas, usually under single ownership and control, and typically called "office parks." Within the premises of the District, such complexes would have all necessary services and facilities comprehensively provided in accordance with an approved development plan. Provisions of this District are formulated to achieve harmoniously designed structures upon a well landscaped site, which would be compatible with surrounding land uses.

(Ord. 2712. Passed 8-1-78.)

   The following uses are permitted in the PO District: Administrative offices, excluding any sales of commodities upon the site, and all uses permitted by right and special approval within the OS-1 District. (Ord. 2712. Passed 8-1-78.)

   (a)   Structures and establishments shall be planned as groups having common parking areas and common ingress and egress points in order to reduce the number of potential accident locations at intersections with thoroughfares.

   (b)   The plan of the project shall provide for the integrated and harmonious design of buildings, and for internal traffic circulation, landscaping and such other features and facilities as may be necessary to make the project attractive and efficient from the standpoint of the adjoining and surrounding existing or potential developments. (Ord. 2712. Passed 8-1-78.)

   There shall be no minimum land area requirement. The maximum size of a building or buildings to be constructed or utilized on any lot or parcel being developed shall be determined by any and all criteria that are applicable and governed by this Zoning Code. This shall include, but not be limited to, parking, ingress, egress, green space, setback to adjoining property, screening, public streets, easements, surrounding neighborhood and topographic features. The size of the building will then be determined and shall not be larger than that which is allowed by the remaining square footage of land. The Planning Commission shall have the power to decide variables and grant approvals based on each individual circumstance. (Ord. 3231. Passed 2-2-82.)

   A minimum of fifty feet shall be required between adjacent principal buildings.

(Ord. 2712. Passed 8-1-78.)

   A setback of fifty feet shall be provided along the entire perimeter of the development, except where it adjoins a business or industrial district, in which case setback and screening requirements shall be at the discretion of the Planning Commission. Where the development is situated adjacent to a residentially zoned area, a minimum of twenty feet along the exterior property line shall be planted with an evergreen hedge or dense planting of evergreen shrubs not less than four feet in height at the time of planting. Screening facilities shall not obscure traffic visibility within fifty feet of an intersection. Such screening shall be guided by the provisions of Chapter 1290. (Ord. 2712. Passed 8-1-78.)

   See Chapter 1292 for off-street parking and loading space requirements.

(Ord. 2712. Passed 8-1-78.)

   See Chapter 1293 for size and location of permitted signs.
