E. IP - Industrial Park District Changes 1) Rationale The Industrial Park District is intended for "clean" industrial, research and development, and retail uses in a highly landscaped park atmosphere. The Architectural Review Committee and Planning Commission are concerned with the erosion of the purpose of the IP District and recommended that limits be set for offices in this district. Staff recommends setting limits on the size of buildings, requiring a use permit to gain discretionary review, and changing parking standards. The IP District will continue to convert to office use with these regulations, albeit at a lesser scale. Staff recommends establishing discretionary review of larger offices and routing facilities for telecommunications and the Internet by requiring a use permit for offices over 10,000 square feet and for all routing facilities. Internet routing facilities house computers and electronic equipment used to route Internet traffic and can be accompanied by cooling towers, backup generators, diesel fuel tanks to power the backup generators, and weekly testing of the generators to keep the engines running clean. The City should have the ability to set conditions on these facilities to promote compatibility with neighboring land uses which include residential uses. 2) Uses in the IP The following amendments are recommended to: . Permitted Uses. Offices with less than 10,000 square feet of floor area. The following additions are recommended to: . Conditional Uses. Offices with 10,000 square feet or more of floor area.
