(Ord. 319 § 1(part), 1987)

A.

The uses permitted in the I zone shall be those uses specified in Table 3, the industrial land use table, and subject to the special conditions accompanying that table.

B.

To determine whether a specific use is allowed:

1.

Find the use in the left hand column.

2.

Read across the table until either a "letter" or an "x" appears in the right hand column.

3.

If a letter appears this means that the use is allowed in the I zone, but only if certain conditions are complied with. The conditions applicable to that use are those corresponding to the letter listed in Section 17.60.030.

4.

If an "x" appears in that column the use is allowed in the I zone without being subject to any of the conditions listed in Section 17.60.030.

5.

The planning commission shall interpret the appropriate zone for any land use not specifically listed in the table, based on a finding of consistency with the purpose of the zone and that use is of the same general character as that of the uses permitted in that zone.

6.

If an "N" appears in that column, then the use is not allowed in the I zone.
