Eagle Lake City Zoning Code
§ 14.01.014
District I, industrial district.
District I designation.
The I district is intended to serve the needs of manufacturing, fabrication, assembling, warehousing and wholesaling businesses. Because of the potential environmental problems inherent in manufacturing processes, stringent performance standards should apply to this district. It is hoped that industrial areas in the city reflect a campus orientation with large lot design and substantial landscaping. Screening and buffering standards should be incorporated to reduce the negative impact of the district’s land uses on abutting residential neighborhoods.
District I use regulations.
A building or premises in district I shall be used only for the following purposes:
Accessory buildings and uses customarily incident to any of the uses permitted in this section provided that such use is not objectionable because of odor, dust, noise, vibration or similar nuisance.
