A.   Purpose:

      1.   To provide areas in appropriate locations relatively remote from more restrictive zones where processes of light manufacturing and warehousing may be established and maintained. Manufacturing and storage includes the processes necessary in the creation and/or storage of products normally utilized in modern civilized life.

      2.   It is not the intent of this zone to prohibit uses usually utilized in more restrictive zones. Citizens should understand that the decision to put a residence or some other establishment normally found in more restrictive zones in this zone includes acceptance of the undesirable sights, sounds, smells and activities that are anticipated in this zone. No amount of public clamor will change the established use to a more restrictive use until those for whom the zone was created no longer wish to utilize the purposes of this zone.

         a.   All uses listed in the more restrictive zones shall be allowed in the manufacturing zone with their attached codes and symbols unless otherwise changed in the manufacturing matrix. If there are conflicting designations among the more restrictive zones, the less restrictive designation shall apply. The following is a list of zones starting with the most restrictive and ending with the least restrictive: residential, commercial, agricultural, manufacturing, industrial.

   B.   Definition Of Manufacturing Zone: Manufacturing, curing, compounding, processing, packaging or production and treatment of normal household appliances, commodities; consumer items and foods which do not involve heavy industrial processes. (Ord. 2013-5, 8-12-2013, eff. 8-27-2013)

None, except that within one hundred feet (100') of the boundary of any adjoining zone, no building shall exceed the height for the main buildings in such adjoining zone. (Ord. 2013-5, 8-12-2013, eff. 8-27-2013)

None, except for any parcel in the manufacturing zone having a lot line in common with a lot in an adjoining zone or lying across the street or alley from such adjoining zone the front, side and rear yards as prescribed for such adjoining zone shall be maintained in the manufacturing zone for such common lot line. (Ord. 2013-5, 8-12-2013, eff. 8-27-2013)

   A.   In section 9-8-5 of this chapter is a table describing uses of land or buildings that are allowed in the zone as shown. Permitted uses are indicated by a "P" in the appropriate column. Uses that may be permitted by a conditional use permit issued by the land use authority are indicated by a "C" in the appropriate column.

   B.   If a use is not allowed in the zone it is either not named in the use list or it is indicated in the appropriate column by a dash, "-". (Ord. 2013-5, 8-12-2013, eff. 8-27-2013)
