The light industrial and wholesale district is established to provide a location for light manufacturing, and for wholesale businesses and warehouses to provide supplies and storage space for the business sector of the community. Design features should emphasize accommodation of large trucks, the presence of rail trackage, and the materials handling space required by commercial suppliers. The district's purpose shall be to facilitate the conduct of commerce among businesses while minimizing the effects of such activities on the surrounding land uses. Its purpose shall also be to provide for businesses which sell bulky products or require outdoor storage or sales lots.

(Ord. 1998-1 § 371)

A.

The light industrial and wholesale district should be located with ready access to truck routes and possible railroad sidings. Locations should be chosen to minimize impacts upon or hazards to nearby residential areas. Accommodations should be made for large trucks and related commercial activity. Land for this use should be relatively flat and free of natural hazards such as flooding or unstable soil.

B.

Locations should also be chosen based upon their ability to be screened from potentially affected residential uses. Convenience to commercial consumers should be taken into account when locating the light industrial and wholesale zone.
