A.

Purpose. To provide for a mixture of light manufacturing, office park, research and development, and limited retail/service retail land uses in an attractive, business park setting. The industrial light district may be used as a zoning buffer between mixed uses, commercial uses and heavier industrial uses. The I-1 zoning district is appropriate with the office, research, and light industrial (ORLI) and industry classifications of the master land use plan.

B.

Land uses. Permitted, conditional and accessory land uses in the industrial light zoning district are identified on the land use matrix in article 27-400, Appendix A. Specific land uses not identified on the list are subject to classification pursuant to section 27-336.

C.

Area and bulk regulations.

1.

Building separation shall be determined by the current city building and fire code.

2.

Minimum parcel/lot size for rezoning to I-1:

a.

New district (by classification): two acres.

b.

Existing district (by extension): 20,000 square feet unless extension of existing development.

3.

Required street access: major arterial or higher.

4.

Side/rear setback abutting residential may be reduced to 60 feet with planning commission approval of screening and/or landscaping through the development plan approval process.

D.

District standards.

1.

All areas unoccupied by buildings, parking lots or used as traffic ways shall be maintained in a safe and orderly condition.

2.

Areas which are allowed to have outdoor storage and display of merchandise shall be maintained in a manner that does not collect trash, debris, and/or vermin.

a.

b.

No public sidewalk or street right-of-way shall be used for display.

3.

There shall be no open display of merchandise or inventory.

4.

Vehicle servicing and equipment assembly as part of a sales operation shall be conducted within an enclosed building unless adequate sight-proof visual screening from the public and adjacent residences is provided.

5.

No manufacturing, assembly, or repair work shall take place outside the confines of an enclosed building.

6.

Auto impoundment or holding yards shall be screened with a minimum six- to eight-foot opaque fence constructed of wood or masonry.

E.

Industrial development. Industrial developments shall conform to design guidelines of article 27-600 et seq.

(Code 1992, § 27-430; Ord. No. 16-12, § 2, 2-21-2012; Ord. No. 104-22, § 1, 11-1-2022)

A.

Purpose. To provide for industrial land uses which can be operated in a clean and quiet manner that shall not be obnoxious to adjacent land uses, and shall have relatively limited environmental impacts. The land uses within an industrial moderate (I-2) zoning district are primarily contained indoors and have heavier traffic generation than the I-1 uses. I-2 zoning is appropriate within the industry classification of the master land use plan.

B.

Land uses. Permitted, conditional and accessory land uses in the I-2 zoning district are identified on the land use matrix in article 27-400, Appendix A. Specific land uses not identified on the list are subject to classification pursuant to section 27-336.

C.

Area and bulk regulations.

1.

Building separation shall be determined by the current city building and fire code.

2.

Minimum parcel/lot size for rezoning to I-2:

a.

New district (by classification): ten acres.

b.

Existing district (by extension): 20,000 square feet unless extension of existing development.

3.

For buildings and structures located between 100 and 150 feet from residentially zoned property, each additional foot of setback in excess of the minimum required setback may allow the building height to be increased by one foot. Buildings or structures which are located more than 150 feet from residentially zoned property shall have no specific height requirements.

4.

Side/rear setbacks abutting residential areas may be reduced to 60 feet with planning commission approval of screening/landscaping through the development plan approval process. Additional building height may not be calculated in this space.

5.

Required street access: major arterial or higher.

D.

District standards.

1.

All areas unoccupied by buildings, parking lots or used as traffic ways shall be maintained in a safe and orderly condition.

a.

No required parking lot area shall be used as a display or sales area.

b.

No public sidewalk or street right-of-way shall be used for display.

3.

Vehicle servicing and equipment assembly as part of a sales operation shall be conducted within an enclosed building unless adequate sight-proof visual screening from the public and adjacent residences is provided.

4.

No manufacturing, assembly, or repair work shall take place outside the confines of an enclosed building.

5.

Auto impoundment or holding yards shall be screened with a minimum six- to eight-foot opaque fence constructed of wood or masonry.

E.

Industrial development. Industrial developments shall conform to design guidelines of article 27-600 et seq.

(Code 1992, § 27-431; Ord. No. 16-12, § 2, 2-21-2012; Ord. No. 104-22, § 1, 11-1-2022)

A.

Purpose. To accommodate a wide variety and intensity of industrial uses, some of which may have significant external impacts. This may include areas of heavy and concentrated fabrication, manufacturing, and industry. The industrial heavy (I-3) zoning district requires readily available and adequate public facilities and services, including access to major transportation hubs (rail, river, or highway-interstate). The I-3 zone must be located so as to minimize conflicts with other land uses. Industrial heavy zoning is appropriate in the industry classification of the master land use plan.

B.

Land uses. Permitted, conditional and accessory land uses in the I-3 zoning district are identified on the land use matrix in article 27-400, Appendix A. Specific land uses not identified on the list are subject to classification pursuant to section 27-336.

C.

Area and bulk regulations.

1.

Building separation shall be determined by the current city building and fire code.

2.

Minimum parcel/lot size for rezoning to I-3.

a.

New district (by classification): 20 acres.

b.

Existing district (by extension): 20,000 square feet unless extension of existing development.

3.

For buildings and structures located between 100 and 150 feet of residentially zoned property, for each additional foot of setback in excess of the minimum required setback, building height may be increased by one foot. Buildings or structures located more than 150 feet from residentially zoned property shall have no specific height requirement.

4.

Side/rear setbacks abutting residential areas may be reduced to 60 feet with planning commission approval of screening/landscaping through development plan approval process. Additional building height may not be calculated in this space.

No manufacturing, assembly or repair work activity other than permitted storage shall take place outside the confines of an enclosed building.

5.

Auto impoundment or holding yards shall be screened with a minimum six- to eight-foot opaque fence constructed of wood or masonry.

E.
