Harrisville City Zoning Code

11.12 Commercial

And Manufacturing Land Use

11.12.010 Purpose And Intent

CP-2-The purpose of the CP-2 zone is to provide areas of selected commercial activity for the sale of goods and services to the general public in a community and regional market. The location of the zone should be along selected locations adjacent to the arterial streets which run through Harrisville in order to provide good access with limited disturbance to the residential areas of the community. The physical development of Harrisville requires that uses be considered which do not adversely impact adjacent residential and agricultural land uses and provide a benefit to the community by providing needed goods and services.
MP-1- The purpose of the MP-1 zone is to provide selected manufacturing uses for product and job creation and also areas for storage or commercial activity where the uses need large land areas because of the need of outdoor storage or the use of heavy equipment or large vehicles together with general retail. The zone is limited to areas of traditional manufacturing uses and along major arterial streets where the uses do not share frontage on the street with residential uses. Uses should be limited to those which do not create unnecessary noises, dust, odors, pollution of the ground or water table and which do not create unsightly areas to residential areas or the general public.
