ARTICLE 10
- INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, I-18
Statement of intent. The purpose of this district is to permit certain industries to locate in an area where the principal use of land is for heavy commercial and industrial operations. Conditional use permits are required for those operations which are not compatible with neighboring uses, in order to ensure the protection and promote the desirability of those uses, while permitting industries to locate reasonably near a labor supply. Uses not consistent with the existing character of this district are not permitted.
