The industrial district is established to provide the necessary lands within the community for manufacturing, processing raw materials, and using processes and equipment which are most significant in their effect upon the senses. The district is intended to accommodate trucks and rail facilities with minimal adverse impact upon the transportation system of the county. Space should be adequate to facilitate the movement of large equipment and to maintain adequate separation from uses which might be affected by the sight, smell, sound, dust, erosion or the like, of manufacturing or processing uses. Location of the industrial zone shall facilitate the introduction of raw materials and movement of finished products.

(Ord. 1998-1 § 381)

The industrial district should be located adjacent to truck routes and/or railroad switching facilities which are convenient to transportation routes. Transportation system capacities should be adequate to handle employee trips as well as those associated with the production aspects of the industry. Although all appropriate national, state and local regulations concerning the external effects of industrial activity must be observed, industrial zone locations should be chosen with such natural environmental factors as drainage patterns, prevailing wind directions and geologic hazards in mind in order to minimize the effects upon surrounding uses and the community as a whole.

(Ord. 1998-1 § 382)

Industrial performance requirements shall be as follows:

A.

Industrial uses shall comply with appropriate local, state and federal environmental regulations. It shall be the responsibility of the industrial land use to minimize the effects of its activities on nearby uses.

B.

An industrial district shall not share a common boundary with residentially zoned lands unless the line demarcates a substantial difference in elevation or other natural or man-made barrier which can separate the effects of these potentially incompatible zoning districts. At a minimum, such districts shall be separated by a street or equivalent barrier plus vegetative buffer per Section 17.52.520. Exceptions to the preceding conditions may be granted only after the completion of a public hearing and an evaluation of any special circumstances by the planning and development council and the board of commissioners. Landscaped buffer areas of greater width may be required where appropriate.

C.

Reserved.

D.

Any proposed use shall meet Idaho air and water quality standards.
