It is intended that interpretation and determination of whether such uses are in fact in conflict with uses in the district or in adjoining districts shall be restrictive rather than permissive.

No building or structure may exceed 35 feet in height unless otherwise provided for herein.

No lot of less than 100 feet in width or 15,000 square feet shall be permitted.

3.14.9.3 Rear yard. A rear yard of not less than 25 feet shall be provided except that, on a lot having double frontage, the front yard requirements shall apply on both streets. Rear yards may be reduced to zero when the rear property line coincides with a railroad siding; however, no new trackage shall be located nearer than 300 feet from a residential district.

3.14.9.4 Buffer yards. A buffer yard of not less than 75 feet in width shall be provided along each I-L district boundary which abuts any residential district. Such buffer yard shall be in lieu of front, side or rear yards. The 35 feet of such yard nearest the district boundary shall not be used for any processing activity, building, or structure other than fences, walls, or berms and shall be landscaped and maintained with shrubs and trees. A minimum of one tree shall be planted for each 25 feet of common lot line or fraction thereof. Landscape materials shall attain a minimum height of six feet and be at least 75 percent opaque when viewed from any point along the adjoining boundary within 18 months after planting. The remaining 40 feet of said buffer yard shall not be used for any processing activities, buildings, or structures other than fences, walls, berms or off-street parking lots of passenger cars.

3.14.9.5 Building separation. The minimum separation between buildings shall be governed by the current code adopted by the city.

Minimum landscaping within any industrial building lot, site or subdivision shall not be less than 30 percent of the area of the property. Such open space shall not be open to parking and shall be landscaped and maintained to preserve a park like character within the district. Notwithstanding this requirement, parcels developed under a common-site or subdivision plan may fulfill these requirements jointly rather than on a parcel by parcel basis. A minimum of ten feet landscape buffer will be required on side and rear property lines.

All landscaping and buffer requirements must be in accordance with article VIII, Landscaping and tree protection, of this Code.
