Egelston Township City Zoning Code
ARTICLE XVI
I-2 Industrial District
§ 450-1601 Purpose.
This district is intended to provide land for the more intense type of industrial and manufacturing uses which are usually located deep within the industrial areas of the Township and downwind from residential and business areas. Regulations to minimize their incompatibility with other districts are the minimum requirement for mutual protection of the industrial areas, and to that end, the district should not be adjacent to any residential or business districts, if such abutment can possibly be avoided.
§ 450-1602 Principal permitted uses.
[Amended 4-16-2018; 11-20-2023]
Following are the principal permitted uses for the I-2 Industrial Districts:
The primary principal permitted use in I-2 industrial areas is industrial and manufacturing uses in large installations or in forms which involve significant emanation of noise, glare and other environmentally adverse effects. Such uses will include, for example, chemical plants, steel plants, foundries, manufacturers of automobile parts, industrial machinery, or equipment, and other heavy industrial uses.
Bulk storage of refined petroleum products.
General construction contractors involved in heavy construction and general building.
§ 450-1603 Site plans.
[Amended 2-2-2015]

Maximum height of any building shall be four stories, but no greater than 60 feet.

Provided, further, however, that where an I-2 District rear yard abuts a R-1 through R-4, R-5, C-1 or C-2 District, that rear yard setback shall be no less than 100 feet.
The Planning Commission may require a reasonable buffer area.
Adverse effects or impacts upon adjoining incompatible land uses shall be minimized by appropriate screening, fencing, and/or landscaping.
All setbacks, side yards and rear yards shall be clear of any aboveground improvements.

Following are the special land uses for the I-2 Industrial Districts:
