The general purposes of the Industrial Park (IP) District are as follows:

A.

To provide an environment conducive to the development and protection of administrative facilities, research institutions, manufacturing plants, warehousing and similar enterprises in a park-like atmosphere.

B.

To permit flexibility in the types of uses permitted within the district by establishing environmental performance criteria and site development standards which will be conducive to the erection of industrial buildings pleasing in appearance and which will harmonize with other surrounding land uses.

6.1.4.2

Allowable Uses

A.

Primary Activities. The following activities are permitted subject to the development and performance standards set forth herein.

1.

Manufacturing and industrial activities.

2.

Secondary Activities. The following secondary activities which support or are adjunct to the primary activities are permitted subject to the development and performance standards and conditions set forth herein.

l.

Within the industrial park area, day care centers, coffee shops, restaurants and automobile service stations are permitted, subject to the granting of a Special Zoning Permit as specified in Section 10.5.

2.

Storage activities. Warehouses and covered and enclosed storage facilities are permitted as part of a primary activity. In addition, outdoor storage of raw materials or materials in process of manufacturing is permitted by right, but limited to interior rear yards and enclosed by a visual separation barrier, and in no case shall materials be stacked or stored so as to exceed the height of this separation barrier. This visual separation barrier shall be a minimum height of six feet and may be composed of a fence, wall, hedge, landscaping, earth berm, natural buffer area, or any combination thereof which is sufficient to visually separate the outdoor storage area from adjoining properties or public rights-of-way. The composition and design of said visual separation barrier shall be at the discretion of the developer as long as the purpose and intent of these regulations are fulfilled and said separation barrier is approved by the Community Development Director. Storage of finished products is permitted by right without screening requirements. It shall be the intent of these regulations to require a visual separation barrier which serves to effectively screen said outside storage areas in a manner which is consistent with the park-like atmosphere of the Industrial Park District and that which is pleasing in appearance and which will harmonize with other surrounding land uses.

Said landscape plan shall be submitted and approved as part of any request for Industrial Park District Zoning. While the approved landscape plan and tree planting guide for the Bartlesville Industrial Park shown in Section 6.146 identifies perimeter tree plantings within the buffer area on forty foot (40') centers, clustering of trees may be permitted if approved by the Community Development Director as long as the required number of trees as shown on the approved landscape plan remains the same.
