Body
Legislative History
The Land Development Code was adopted in December 1999. At the time "continuing care retirement communities" was not a land use specifically allowed in Hudson and only office and office business parks were allowed north of Boston Mills Road. In Ordinance 00-172 adopted May 2, 2001, among a large set of amendments, day care centers, medical clinics and research laboratories were added to the uses allowed north of Boston Mills Road. In Ordinance 08-36 adopted May 7, 2008 hospitals and other complementary uses including continuing care retirement communities were added to the uses permitted in District 6.
Purpose & Explanation
District 6 is the zoning district along the western border of Hudson between the turnpike and Terex Road. Hudson Crossing Industrial Park and the office campuses north of Boston Mills Road are the principal activity centers in the District. The intended principal uses in District 6 are planned office and industrial business park developments. The district is the gateway into Hudson from the west on West Streetsboro Street and Boston Mills Road. Some uses allowed in the district such as industrial, warehousing, and distribution are not allowed along these corridors, including north of Boston Mills Road, in favor of other uses that would present a more attractive entry into the community. Although the target uses in District 6 remain office and industrial, the City has allowed more medical and support uses over the years.
