Chapter 595 Zoning Part 2 Zoning Uses, Districts and Regulations Article XXIA Expressway Transitional (ET) Zone
Legislative intent. The purpose of the Expressway Transitional (ET) District is to accommodate industrial, commercial, mixed and advertising uses in areas adjacent to multilane, controlled-access roads, to promote better safety and welfare within the City of Easton. These areas have traditionally been geared toward industry and commerce, with a minimal residential base. As such, the Expressway Transitional (ET) District is ideal for uses which are incompatible with residential areas. Key among these considerations is off-premises signage and advertising. Large-scale advertising presents a number of concerns and complications to our community. By restricting such activities to the Expressway Transitional (ET) District, the City safeguards quality of life, property values, and public safety, while allowing advertising where its negative impacts will be minimized.
Requirements. Both new construction and redevelopment in the district shall comply with Article XXXV, Context Sensitive Design Standards.
