10.1

Purpose.

The employment center (E-C) zoning district is intended to replace the conventional “industrial” zoning districts used in older zoning regulations. Employment center land uses not only include the additional uses, but also encompass the new service industry such as an insurance claims processing center. The basic difference between a commercial use and a primary employment use is that the employment center does not require intermittent customer traffic in order to be successful. An employment center land use has traffic generated by employees during set periods of the day, possibly freight traffic in and out during the day, and occasional visitors or vendors. The employment center land use derives the major portion of its financial success from customers who are outside of the area. The E-C zone is intended to provide a great deal of flexibility in accommodating the needs of primary employment businesses and also to meet the needs of commercial businesses that do not readily fit into the performance or development standards of the C zones.

10.2

General Plan Consistency.

The E-C zone is consistent with the employment center land use classification of the General Plan.
