Western Hudson Gateway District

District 6, together with District 8, is intended to provide key development opportunities for future employment growth in the City of Hudson. Permitted uses encourage the development of high-quality planned office and industrial business park developments. District 6 also serves as the key western gateway to the City of Hudson and district regulations, including heightened landscaping standards and application of industrial design/architectural guidelines, are intended to create attractive entryways into the City along Route 303 (Streetsboro Road) and Boston Mills Road. In addition, in order to better manage traffic generation patterns in the City, District 6 is intended to encourage relatively more intense traffic-generating uses to concentrate at the western edge of Hudson in order to benefit from easy access to Route 8.; District 6 also contains significant natural wetlands and features. Accordingly, a primary purpose of these District 6 regulations is to preserve and protect the district's critical environmental and wetlands features, while integrating them into planned projects as valuable open space amenities. New development is encouraged to respect existing land forms and to limit grading and site disturbance adjacent to wetlands.; In addition, with large land areas that fall within the boundaries of the City's designated wellhead protection area, the District 6 regulations are intended to advance the goals of the Hudson Wellhead Protection Study (dated February 13, 1997), the Ohio EPA Wellhead Protection Program (dated May 1992), and the Spill Prevention Plan.
