1278.01 - PURPOSE AND INTENT.

It is the intent of this chapter to provide for the development of heavy industrial uses or those industrial uses that are more intensive in nature than the industrial uses found in the Light Industrial (I-1) zoning district. The I-2 Heavy Industrial District is intended to include uses that because of their use of heavy machinery or their need for outside storage of materials or products are not suitable for development and operation within an industrial park type setting. The heavy industrial uses should be located so that the development of heavy industrial uses will be compatible with one another and with adjacent or surrounding districts.
