Appendix 741. Outpatient Medical Services District (ME2).

Intent. The Outpatient Medical Services (ME2) District is intended to provide opportunities to locate halfway houses, residential treatment centers, outpatient clinics for the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction and other facilities of similar nature as might be required to serve a growing population. These uses can have substantial negative impacts on adjacent developments and are often considered noxious uses. Impacts may be mitigated through increased buffering requirements. To avoid possible negative impact upon adjacent development, these uses are not allowed to locate directly adjacent to existing residential development.
