Within the Principal Employment Areas:

  2. Development for other uses will only be permitted where the development proposal:
    1. would not adversely affect the operation or employment function of surrounding occupiers; and
    2. is for a use which is either:
      1. ancillary to, and necessary to support the efficient operation or continued growth of, an existing business; or
      2. a small scale facility to serve the unmet needs of local employees; or
      3. an alternative employment generating use (excluding all Class A uses) which could not reasonably be located outside a Principal Employment Area.
