Corridor Employment-Continuing Light Industrial Overlay District

The CE District is intended to encourage the development and redevelopment of employment land near U.S. Route 1.Development in the CE District should provide for new office, flex, and light industrial uses, while reducing the spread of strip commercial development and encouraging consolidation of fragmented parcels. The requirements of this district, in conjunction with the Route 1 Manual and required vehicular and pedestrian improvements, will result in development that improves the appearance of the Route 1 streetscape, enhances traffic safety and better accommodates public transit and pedestrian travel. Many parcels in the CE District were developed before this district was created. It is not the intent of these requirements to disallow the continued use of sites developed prior to the CE District. The intent of this district will be achieved by bringing sites into compliance with these requirements and the standards of the Route 1 Manual as uses are redeveloped or expanded.; The Continuing Light Industrial CLI Overlay District is established to allow continuing use of existing warehousing and light industrial buildings in the Corridor Employment CE District and the Corridor Activity Center District CAC that were developed for these uses prior to creation of these districts. By allowing these uses to continue, the CLI District protects and promotes owner investment in the existing buildings and site improvements.
