This section is included in your selections.

(1) Tract Area. The minimum size of any tract zoned and developed for a Research and Business Park shall be twenty (20) acres.

(2) Lot Area. The minimum size of any lot shall be two (2) acres.

(3) Perimeter Buffer Yards facing an existing or dedicated exterior access road shall be not less than fifty (50) feet in depth.

(a) Screening in this buffer yard shall be accomplished with a landscaped berm at least six (6) feet in height.

(4) Perimeter Buffer Yards adjoining a residential zone boundary shall be not less than twenty-five (25) feet deep if screened with a decorative masonry wall at least six (6) feet high; and if not screened with a decorative wall, such yards shall be not less than one hundred (100) feet deep with landscaped berms at least six (6) feet in height.

(a) In yards where a screening wall is used, there shall be at least ten (10) feet of landscaping on the residential zone side, and at least fifteen (15) feet of landscaping on the business park side. Both areas of landscaping shall be maintained by the Business Park.

(5) Buffer Yard Along Provo River. A landscaped buffer yard one hundred (100) feet wide (measured back from the high water mark of each bank) shall be provided and maintained along the banks of the Provo River. This buffer area, if wooded, shall remain wooded, and if open, shall be planted with a mix of trees, grass, and shrubs to allow for adequate screening of view, noise and other activities.

(6) Building Setbacks. Buildings on all lots shall be set back a minimum of forty (40) feet from any dedicated street right-of-way line and twenty (20) feet from any other property line (except one hundred (100) feet when abutting a residential zone boundary).

(7) Floor Area Ratio. Maximum development within the R&BP zone shall not exceed thirteen thousand (13,000) square feet of gross floor space per net acre (excluding streets). This equates to a floor area ratio of 0.30. However, the developer may request up to an additional three thousand (3,000) square feet of floor space per acre if at least fifty percent (50%) of the off-street parking is placed within a parking structure. This would equate to a floor area ratio of 0.37. In addition, the floor area ratio does not include basements, provided that this area is used for mechanical and/or dead storage only. If the basement is used for anything other than the above mentioned uses, then it will be included in the floor area ratio. A deed restriction shall be recorded on the property stipulating the intended use of the basement. This document must be recorded prior to final occupancy of the building. This area may also be excluded from the parking calculations if the area is less than one-half (1/2) the building foot print.

(8) Required Open Space. All building and parking areas on any lot shall not occupy more than sixty percent (60%) of the total area of the lot. The remaining portion of the lot, not to be less than forty percent (40%), shall be landscaped.

(9) Height. No building shall be constructed to a height exceeding three (3) stories with a maximum height of sixty (60) feet. Buildings which are constructed on parcels adjacent to a residential zone shall be constructed to a height not exceeding two (2) stories with a maximum height of thirty-five (35) feet, unless, pursuant to the issuance of a conditional use permit, upon findings for good cause, the Planning Commission finds that a taller building would not adversely affect the character, views, value, and peaceful enjoyment of surrounding properties in and outside the park. Such may be the case when a park is located next to an existing residential area with more permissive height limitations.

(10) Lot Width. Minimum lot width shall be one hundred (100) feet.

(11) Minimum Lot Frontage. Each lot or parcel of land in the R&BP zone shall abut a public street for a minimum distance of fifty (50) feet; however, lots or parcels with lesser frontage, or no frontage, on a public street may be created as part of an approved and recorded Record of Survey Plat which meets the standards and requirements of this Chapter.

(12) Minimum Perimeter Street Frontage. The R&BP tract shall have a minimum of one hundred (100) foot frontage on a public arterial street.

(13) Buildings Per Lot. More than one (1) main building may be placed on a lot.

(14) Building Separation. A separation of at least twenty (20) feet shall be maintained between buildings.
