An important difference between this designation and the IP Industrial Park designation is that the site design for development in the TEC Transit Employment Center District should support more intensive, transit-oriented uses than that typically found in the IP Industrial Park District. The development of large hotels of at least two hundred rooms and four or more stories in height is also supported within the Transit Employment Center zoning designation. New development should orient buildings towards public streets and transit facilities and include features to provide an enhanced pedestrian environment. 3. IP Industrial Park. The industrial park zoning designation is an exclusive designation intended for a wide variety of industrial users such as research and development, manufacturing, assembly, testing, and offices. Industrial uses are consistent with this designation insofar as any functional or operational characteristics of a hazardous or nuisance nature can be mitigated through design controls. Areas exclusively for industrial uses may contain a very limited amount of supportive commercial uses, in addition to industrial uses, when those uses are of a scale and design providing support only to the needs of businesses and their employees in the immediate industrial area. These commercial uses should be located within a larger industrially utilized building to protect the character of the area and maintain land use compatibility. In addition, warehouse retail uses are allowed where they are compatible with adjacent industrial uses and will not constrain future use of the subject site for industrial purposes. 4. LI Light Industrial. The light industrial zoning district is intended for a wide variety of industrial uses and excludes uses with unmitigated hazardous or nuisance effects. The design controls are less stringent than those for the industrial park zoning district. Examples of typical uses are warehousing, wholesaling, and light manufacturing. Sites designated light industrial may also contain service establishments that serve only employees of businesses located in the industrial areas. In addition, warehouse retail uses may be allowed where they are compatible with adjacent industrial uses and will not constrain future use of the subject site for industrial purposes.
