The purpose of the Business Park Zoning District is to implement specific objectives of the Town's Comprehensive Plan, which designates land for future commercial and light industrial development and in a manner that enhances and maintains the natural and rural qualities of the community.

The Business Park Zoning District is to accommodate the commercial and light industrial needs of the community with a balanced, harmonious and family-friendly mix of work spaces, shops, service businesses, civic facilities, parks, dining and entertainment establishments, with an emphasis on providing diversity to the local and regional economies. The most appropriate light industrial businesses will be those that contribute to the rural atmosphere with walkable and bikable access adjacent to the Loop Trail.

The Business Park Zoning District is intended to provide a commercial and light industrial business atmosphere that is distinct, in comparison to those located in nearby communities, and favorably contributes to the image and character of the community. The district is located with high visibility on arterial roads to accommodate traffic between communities and activity centers. The businesses' freight traffic should be light enough not to detract from the enjoyable experience for neighboring residents, pedestrians and cyclists. Businesses with low product turnover, technology offices, corporate/business offices and meeting spaces are ideal for the Business Park Zoning District.

The Business Park Zoning District is intended to further the livelihood of businesses in the zoning district by facilitating collective and complementary activity with adjacent uses. Preferred uses will support the community and local assets by sourcing products and human resources locally, providing innovative or unique products and services, and fostering certain creative, conservation, recreational, educational or cultural benefits to further enrich the community.

The Business Park Zoning District is located with the intention to protect adjacent uses from incompatibility. To locate in the Business Park Zoning District, a business must not produce any loud noises, vibration, noxious fumes, or other hazardous by-products. The use of heavy drop hammers, punch presses, or other machinery or processing methods creating excessive noise or vibration is prohibited in this district. Preferred uses will provide low-impact, quiet, slow-paced commerce and light industry.
