j. Research Light Industrial (RLI) Zoning District
The Research Light Industrial (RLI) Zoning District is intended to permit new development of employment centers for research and development and business facilities including but not limited to the areas of advanced manufacturing, pharmaceutical, medical and biosciences, information technologies, defense services and technology, interactive gaming and web design, nanotechnologies, job training, professional and medical offices, and small-scale commercial and retail uses to serve the Research Light Industrial (RLI) Zoning District. The research and development uses are intended to be located on a single lot, but preferably in a business park setting and designed as a planned aesthetically and sustainable environment for employees that emphasize pedestrian oriented development and interconnectivity among uses. This is to be accomplished by allowing design flexibility with the mix of office, research and development, and small-scale commercial uses. Also, this district is intended to permit new light industrial uses and existing industries and warehouses that were developed prior to the Land Development Ordinance being adopted, and to permit redevelopment of industrial uses as the market changes. Such uses include warehousing, distribution, production, fabrication, assembly, storage activities, contracting services, and flex space. Certain retail and service uses that are incidental to the employees of the uses in this district may also be permitted. This district is generally located at intersections designated as an urban center and along arterial roads (freeways, expressways, parkways, and boulevards) and major thoroughfares. Public water is required.
