Purpose of article

The corporate compound district is established for the purpose of allowing corporate headquarters to locate within areas of the town in which this activity will be compatible with surrounding uses. In residential areas, the corporate compound shall be allowed where it can conform with the rural character of the existing area and where it will preserve open space. Furthermore, it is the intent of this article to permit corporate headquarters in those areas where such location will not generate excessive traffic, noise or glare; where all proposed and existing structures can be effectively screened from public roadways and existing or future residences; and where the construction of new structures, roads, sewage disposal systems, parking areas and other accessory structures can exist without detriment to approved uses within those districts. It is not the intent of this district to allow uses that are prohibited in other districts or that are inconsistent with the master plan. Wherever possible, siting shall preserve prime agricultural or scenic areas.
