Ignition Park is intended to be a launching pad fortechnological innovation. Ignition Park, in

Park recommends general land uses for real estate within the Ignition Park
development site.
The Master Plan vision for Ignition Park is to provide for acampus-like setting within the
single multi-use PUD District. The primary objective of this PUD District is to encourage
development which achieves a high degree of: (i) excellence in overall site design, (ii)
integration of individual parcel site design within the overall development, and (iii)
innovation, creativity and quality in building design. The PUD District provides flexibility
and procedural economy by permitting a broad range of high-tech industrial land uses
and related support uses in a single district, while maintaining adequate land use
controls to protect adjoining properties.

Disposition process and the Project Site. Each Applicant should read this information
thoroughly before submitting a proposal to the Commission. The Proposal Forms are

Plan filed with the PUD Zoning Ordinance, as well as the Development Plan for the
Airport Economic Development Area prepared by the Department of
2
Redevelopment and approved by the Commission, the Area Plan Commission, and
the Common Council.
The size and character of the improvements proposed to be made by the Applicant
on the real property; the Applicant's plans and ability to improve the real estate with
reasonable promptness; whether the real property, when improved, will be sold or
rented; the Applicant's proposed sale or rental prices; and any factors which will

the Airport Economic Development Plan and will best serve the interest of the
community, from the standpoint of both human and economic welfare.

finance and complete the development.
