I. TBD Thoroughfare Business District. The TBD district is primarily intended to accommodate a wide range of high intensity retail and service developments meeting the need of the community and the region. The district is established on large sites to provide locations for major developments which contain multiple uses, shared parking and drives, and coordinated signage and landscaping. J. HCD Highway Commercial District. The Highway Commercial District (HCD) is established to provide primarily for auto-dependent uses in areas not amenable to easy pedestrian access and a comfortable pedestrian environment. Because of the scale and access requirements of uses in this category, they often cannot be compatibly integrated within the Thoroughfare Business District. Development at district boundaries must provide a compatible transition to uses outside the district; property boundaries with frontages on major or minor arterials will require landscaping. K. I Industrial District. The I district is primarily designed to accommodate those industrial, wholesaling, mixed industrial, warehousing, and other uses which by their nature do not create an excessive amount of noise, odor, smoke, dust, airborne debris or other impacts which might be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of surrounding areas. L. AP Airport District The AP district is primarily designed to accommodate unified developments comprised of airport facilities and agricultural uses, and which may include commercial, industrial, or service uses. 57 M. Conditional Zoning Districts Established Conditional zoning districts are hereby established. Conditional zoning districts allow for the establishment of certain uses which because of their nature or scale have particular impacts on both the immediate area and the community as a whole. The development of these uses or combinations of uses cannot be predetermined or controlled by general district standards. Instead, these districts are zoning districts in which the development and use of the property is subject to predetermined ordinance standards and the rules, regulations, and conditions imposed as part of the legislative decision creating the district and applying it to the particular property. This method of zoning is particularly suited to planned developments and in situations in which mitigation of impacts is needed to protect adjoining properties and uses.
