O-R OFFICE-RESEARCH DISTRICT
The regulations set forth in this Article or set forth elsewhere in this Appendix A when referred to in this Article, are the district regulations for the O/R Office/Research District. The O/R District is intended to be a mix of office uses, research and testing facilities in high quality, well designed settings. It is intended to permit only those office uses which are compatible with the community as a whole. Bulk and height regulations, specific standards and architectural review requirements shall encourage high quality architectural and site design of limited intensity which is compatible with the character of the Village as a whole and which will enhance real estate values throughout the Village. In addition, the district is intended to establish a buffer between the high intensity expressway or other business uses and the lower intensity residential areas. Development within this district should be consistent with the locations and goals as provided in the Village's Comprehensive Plan. (Ord. 03-1155, 3-18-2003)
