ARTICLE XII

High Technology and Office Park HTOP District

§ 185-54 Purpose.

Based on the goals and objectives identified in the Town's adopted plans and studies, the purpose of the High Technology and Office Park District is to achieve a favorable balance of office, medical, and supporting limited nonresidential uses. The regulations herein are designed to limit and restrict permitted and special use permit uses to those that will be compatible and have a minimal adverse effect upon residential and commercial areas in close proximity and that have a high job-development potential. Development within the HTOP District should include internal vehicular and pedestrian connections between buildings, parking lots, and open spaces to support safe, efficient navigation by employees and visitors traveling to and throughout the site.
