Campus Industrial Zone

The purpose of this zone is to provide for light industrial, manufacturing, research, warehousing, business and office uses, as well as a limited amount of accessory and related commercial uses, in a park-like setting, which promotes the preservation of the natural, cultural, scenic and historic features of the environment.; The objectives of this zone are: to promote the development of industrial land through careful, coordinated and comprehensive plans, which minimize the potential for land-use nuisances (such as excessive noise, pollution, dust, odor, traffic) and hazards between adjacent land uses, residents and the natural environment; to create a business and employment area which will not compete with, or threaten the viability of the Lititz Borough downtown business area; to foster the development of an interdependent business community through the promotion of shared facilities (e.g., stormwater basins, site access, parking, multi-tenant, or condominium type buildings, and common, interconnected open space and trail systems; to encourage an attractive built environment which does not detract from the Township's predominantly rural-agricultural landscape; to permit the transfer and application of development rights from agricultural (sending) areas to this (receiving) zoning district as a means to protect the Township's valuable farmland, resource base. Specifically, maximum lot coverage provisions for developments within this zone may be increased through the acquisition of development rights from agricultural (sending) areas within the Township.; This zone is intended to apply to large parent tracts or blocks of land where the purpose, objectives and intended design elements of this zone can be effectively and equitably applied. To this end, prior to any subdivision and/or land development to effectuate the provisions of this zone, applicants shall be required to prepare, submit and gain approval of an overall, composite master plan. This approach shall ensure comprehensive and coordinated development, rather than random, piecemeal type development. The process will allow for thoughtful consideration for the development and integration of other similarly zoned adjacent properties.
