these uses are compatible with the surrounding areas. Planning Commission reviewed this amendment and recommended approval. Wanush explained that this zoning district is slightly different than other zones. The PCZD zoning calls for any Planned Community Zoned Dis- trict to have a general development plan which spells out areas of uses in relationship of various uses to another. In addition, Council can, in approving the general development plan, limit uses even further than the zoning ordinance itself . The reason for the two amendments being decided tonight is that during the review of the Ohmeda Subdivision PUD, i~t was clear to the staff that a use like Ohmeda was a permitted use. The agreement specifically stated that research offices and corporate uses on Parcel B is permitted. In addition, there are 4-5 other parcels that have this designation. However, in going back to the zoning ordinance itself, there is no definition of research office and is somewhat unclear. As staff researched and reviewed records of hearings that designated this use, it is clear that a use like Ohmeda was always considered to be an appropriate use through the general development plan. When Lincor, who is doing the PUD development on this, looked at the ordinance, they didn't feel it was clearly defined. Therefore, staff initiated this amendment to the ordinance to add these two items allowing Research/Office and Corporate uses to dispel any doubt that uses like Ohmeda, essentially high tech research with an assembly component, are clearly permitted uses under the designation Research/Office and Corporate uses within the agreement.
