Footville Village City Zoning Code

§ 370-10

I1 Light Industrial District.

[Amended 11-1-2001; 10-4-2007 by Ord. No. 10-04-07; 4-5-2018 by Ord. No. 2018-104]
A. 
Purpose. This district is intended to provide an area for manufacturing, marketing, and industrial and agribusiness activities. It is also intended to provide an area for a variety of uses which require relatively large installations, facilities or land areas, or which would, unless properly regulated, tend to create conditions of public or private nuisance, hazard, or other undesirable conditions, or which for these or other reasons may require special safeguards, equipment, processes, barriers, or other forms of protection, including spatial distance, in order to reduce, eliminate, or shield the public from such conditions.
B. 
Permitted uses. No uses are permitted as a matter of right within the I1 District. All uses within this district are conditional, and must be approved in accordance with the procedures established in § 370-15 of this chapter.
C. 
Conditional uses. Conditional uses which may occur in this district include industrial and manufacturing uses, and all conditional uses allowed in the C1 District. In addition, conditional uses may include necessary municipal functions, and a dwelling unit for a caretaker or superintendent if an appropriate conditional use requires constant supervision.
D. 
Lot, yard and building requirements.
(1) 
Lot frontage: minimum 100 feet.
(2) 
Minimum front yard: 25 feet.
(3) 
Side yards.
(a) 
Principal buildings: 20 feet.
(b) 
Accessory buildings: five feet.
(4) 
Minimum rear yard: 40 feet.
(5) 
Building height: maximum 90 feet.
(6) 
Parking.
(a) 
Industrial: one space per three employees.
(b) 
Truck unloading area: sufficient space so that no streets or alleys need be blocked.
E. 
Note. Preexisting structures may be nonconforming. The above lot, yard and building requirements may be increased or decreased by the Village agency considering the issuance of a conditional use permit.
F. 
Buffer strips. Wherever an I1 District abuts a Residence District, the Plan Commission, in evaluating a proposed conditional use, may require a buffer strip along any boundary of any lot located within such I1 District of appropriate width and may require such plantings, maintenance, fencing, or other accommodations which will provide an effective screen or barrier between the Residence and Industrial Districts.
