Site Zoning
The site is divided into two zones – IH-2.5, H-70′ (Heavy Industrial) and AR (Agricultural Reserve). The Heavy Industrial zone permits various uses such as light/heavy manufacturing and production, freight movement, distribution, and storage facility. The Agricultural Reserve zone allows agriculture, farming, and single-unit living among other uses. Development under a base level of development called Standard Method of Development is permitted in both zones. Approval for a detailed Site Plan may be required depending on the proposed use and development intensity.
