34 - INDUSTRIAL CRAFTSMAN ZONE I-C
17.34.010 - Purpose.
The purpose of the industrial craftsman zone is to promote the creation of high quality products, job creating activities and business incubation opportunities that could benefit from a setting that is not intensively developed and/or the presence of a proprietor living on site. The industrial craftsman zone is particularly well suited for lands included in an industrial classification that are characterized by a low density residential settlement pattern that, if continued, could jeopardize the areas potential for job creation and threaten public and private investments made to support industrial development. Other areas may also be suitable for a industrial craftsman zone if necessary to ensure that the city maintains a balanced supply of industrial lands. Areas included in a craftsman industrial designation are expected, over time, to convert to more traditional types of industrial zoning.(Ord. No. 163, § 1 (8A.01), 5-8-07)In the industrial craftsman zone (I-C), the following uses and their accessory uses are permitted outrightA. Livestock and farm animals subject to Section 17.20.040(C).B.

Light manufacturing uses that are principally conducted inside an enclosed building and/or do not create external impacts such as noise, odor or smoke.J. Storage and storage facilities.K. Uses similar to those listed above.These uses require an administrative review because they require a finding that the proposed use is consistent with the purpose of the industrial craftsman zone.
