Approve EC (Employment Center) zone since the LI and I zones were replaced by the EC zone in the Rural Area of the Growth Policy Plan after it was adopted in 2001, allowing for additional public review and standards (Applicant requested LI).
This zone provides for a wide range of agricultural and related uses as well as residential uses with low population densities and other compatible uses which generally require large areas or open spaces.
The intent of this zone is to provide areas in which the principal use of land is for processing, storage, packaging, wholesaling, distribution, light manufacturing, and restricted retailing. In order to achieve compatibility in transition of property in the same or neighboring zones, performance standards are applied at lot lines. Landscaping and buffering requirements are intended to augment the transition of this zone with neighboring residential areas.
