➢ Limit uses in Light Industrial district to industrial and other employment uses to avoid encroachment of institutional,residential,and other uses on existing businesses. This would also preserve the Town's ability to attract and accommodate new—or expand existing—job-generating uses in locations where such businesses prefer to locate.Limit permitted commercial uses to existing uses and those that support the industrial uses. ➢ Consider the creation of new zoning districts to accommodate development that is consistent with the community's vision for the area,as reflected in the Future Land Use Map. • Assess the need for a mixed-use district(MU)that can be utilized in key locations throughout Harrisburg. This district should enable a mix of compatible uses on large and small sites where adequate infrastructure is available or can be extended. The mix of uses can vary and may be all nonresidential uses. Residential uses would not be a required component of development in this district. If warranted as an alternative to a PUD or TND,provisions to consider include but are not limited to the following: • Minimum development site area: 5 acres • Mix of uses shall contain some nonresidential uses. Development shall not consist exclusively of residential uses. • Orientation of,and relationships between,buildings should eliminate need for buffers within development,particularly to separate residential and nonresidential uses. • Maximum building height:50 feet • In Harrisburg's jurisdiction,support the creation of other PID districts.The emphasis of any new PID district should be on flexibility in use provided specific performance standards set forth for the district are met. Such standards shall address the potential negative impacts of each permitted use on adjacent development(existing or future)or on the community as a whole to ensure such impacts(i.e.,noise,light, and traffic)are avoided or sufficiently mitigated.
