SD3
Special Development District - Technology & Research
Zone description
The SD3 District is designed for areas of the City where research facility development in a campus-like setting is practicable. In addition, the district is designed for areas of the City where the future general land use map of the Master Plan indicates usage other than “Residential.” Advances in industry and technology have created uses, which are related to industry and office or commercial uses, but may not be appropriate or function adequately in a typical industrial or business zoning district. The SD3 District provides an environment where “high technology” uses such as engineering, design, research and development, photonics/optics, computer assisted design, robotics research, numerical control equipment (CAD/CAM), prototype development and limited manufacturing, biotechnology lasers, medical research, food and materials testing, telecommunications, and related storage, warehousing and limited assembly operations associated with principal permitted uses can be located. The SD3 District will be located in a campus-type environment and so situated that uses will be developed without being negatively impacted by elements and conditions which are commonly found in a traditional industrial district and without negatively impacting uses found in a business district.
