ARTICLE VI

- INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS

16-2-6.1. - Purpose.

(a)

I-L Light Industrial District. The I-L Light Industrial District is intended to accommodate industrial activities that do not create appreciable nuisance or hazards, or that require a pleasant, hazard-and-nuisance-free environment. The I-L District may also accommodate select service or commercial uses.

(b)

I-H Heavy Industrial District. The I-H Heavy Industrial District is intended to accommodate those industrial activities which may produce moderate nuisances or hazards in areas that are incompatible with non-industrial development.

(c)

I-MU Industrial Mixed-Use District. The I-MU Industrial Mixed-Use District is intended to accommodate a mix of light industrial uses and compatible commercial uses such as retail and entertainment. This mix is designed to promote the reuse of older, character-giving structures that may no longer be suitable for their original industrial purposes but can accommodate a variety of alternative types of uses. Residential uses are also permitted in the I-MU District.
