The purpose of the office and service highway district No. 1 is to recognize that the area along the eastern side of Eastern Shore Drive, primarily developed as residential, has been exposed to higher volumes of traffic and greater visibility with the construction of this inner city highway and, realizing the accessibility and visibility that is provided, to provide for the development of this area from residential to nonresidential use. This district provides a transition area between the residential area, continuing eastward, and the industrial and commercially developed areas across Eastern Shore Drive to the west. To protect the adjoining residential areas to the east, special attention is given to setbacks, screening, landscaping, signs and access. Uses are limited to offices, service uses and to limited retail sales, which do not have late hours of operation, noise, odor and large amounts of on-site traffic. The office and service highway district No. I applies specifically to the land area along Eastern Shore Drive, but the rationale contained in this purpose may be applied to other areas where streets or highways are developed or become major collector thoroughfares through or adjoining residential areas and the same circumstances occur. The following uses, referenced standards and area regulations have been developed based upon this purpose, which is in accord with findings and recommendations of the city's adopted land use element of the metro core comprehensive plan.
