    3. The minimum setback between a structure and a lot line abutting a residential lot, residential parcel, or residential use in a platted subdivision or residential zone shall be 50 feet.

  6. Industrial Site design.

  7. Design and use criteria. In the consideration of an application for a new industrial use, the Planning Director or Hearings Body shall take into account the impact of the proposed use on nearby residential and commercial uses, on resource carrying capacities and on the capacity of transportation and other public facilities and services.

    1. The new use is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
