DD Zone - Design Development A. Purpose The purpose of the Design Development Zone (DD) is to permit the development of selected office, professional, laboratory, commercial/retail and light industry on tracts with good access to Rte. 66 and Rte. 2. High standards are required in this zone to ensure the harmonious integration of these types of development with the rural residential uses common to these areas. Low intensity of land uses with substantial buffering for adjacent residential areas are design elements that should be considered in th is zone. An important concept in this zone is that rough and less desirable land shall be incorporated into proposals for development to serve as a buffer, thereby lessening the effect of the development on the natural topographical and environmental feat ures of the area.
