This district includes the older industrial areas within the City which are characterized by older buildings with minimal building setbacks and site improvements. Most generally recognized industrial uses are permitted along with accessory retail sales. As these older buildings are expanded and re-used, improvements should be made to protect nearby non-industrial uses from these industrial operations.
