The uses are to be grouped in a campus or park-like setting and should generally be performed or carried out primarily within a completely enclosed building. The district is further intended to promote perimeter landscaping for large-scale development and increased setbacks from sensitive development areas. The development standards of this district are established to promote the integration of these areas into the surrounding areas and preserve viewsheds from Open Space and Trail Corridors shown in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. District-Specific Standards a. Permissible Uses Permitted and conditional uses for the TO district are those set forth in Table 15.10-1. b. Dimensional Standards Dimensional requirements for lots and structures in the TO district are set forth in Table 15.12- 3, except as supplemented below. Maximum and Minimum Building Heights The height of all structures in the TO district shall not exceed 45’ or as indicated in subsection 15.08.000.L, .2.(ii) below. (ii) Height Restrictions from Trail Corridors Building heights shall not exceed one foot in height for every four feet of distance from a proposed or existing trail as shown in the Comprehensive Plan. In instances where the Trail has not been constructed, the Department shall make a determination of its future location. Relief may be granted by the Planning Commission if the Planning Commission finds that the proposed development does not interfere with viewsheds, that adequate screening is provided, alternative mitigation measures have been proposed to mitigate visual impacts and the developer provides a visual simulations of the proposed development and its relationship to a Trail Corridor. c. Development Standards The following development standards shall supplement those contained in chapter 15.14, Development Standards, within the TO district. Wherever possible, development in the TO district shall comply with both the standards in chapter 15.14 and the standards in this section; however, in the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of chapter 15.14 and the standards in this section, the standards in this section shall govern. ---PAGE BREAK--- Proposed Amendments Page 2 of 17 d.
