CHAPTER 9

INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS

11-9-1: GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

A. Generally: The regulations for the industrial districts are designed to:

1. Make available a range of suitable sites for all types of manufacturing and related activities; and

2. Protect residences by separating them from manufacturing activities and by prohibiting the use of such space for new residential or commercial development.

B. Specific Districts:

1. I-1 Light Industrial District: The purpose of the I-1 light industrial district is to provide a location for industries which do not by their nature create nuisances. The intent is to preserve this land for industry in a location beneficial to industries and to prohibit nonindustrial uses. Any use constructed, established, altered, or enlarged in the I-1 light industrial district, after the effective date hereof, shall be so operated as to comply with the following standards:

a. No building shall be used for residential purposes, except that a watchman may reside on the premises.

b. No retail sales or services shall be permitted except as incidental to or accessory to a permitted use.

c. No noise, either continuous or intermittent, from any operation conducted on the premises, other than that emanating from vehicular traffic, shall be detectable at any boundary line of the lot.

d. No toxic matter, noxious matter, smoke, gas, or odorous or particulate matter shall be emitted that is detectable beyond the lot lines of the lot on which the use is located.

e. No vibrations shall be detectable beyond the lot lines of the lot on which the use is located.

f. Exterior lighting fixtures shall be shaded wherever necessary to avoid casting direct light upon property located in any residential district.

g. The manufacture of flammable materials which produce explosive vapors or gases is prohibited.

h. No outside storage of equipment and/or material, except equipment in daily use, shall be permitted in such a location where it can be viewed from any public street.

i. Any operation that produces intense glare or heat shall be performed within a completely enclosed building, and exposed sources of light shall be screened so as not to be detectable beyond the lot lines.

2. I-2 Heavy Industrial District: The purpose of the I-2 heavy industrial district is to provide a location for industries which may by their nature create some nuisance. The intent is to preserve this land especially for such industry in locations with access to arterial streets as designated on the future land use plan map, as well as locations generally accessible to railroad transportation. Any use constructed, established, altered, or enlarged in the I-2 heavy industrial district after the effective date hereof shall be so operated as to comply with the following standards. No use already established on the effective date hereof shall be so altered or modified as to conflict with, or further conflict with, the following standards:

a. No building shall be used for residential purposes, except that a watchman may reside on the premises.

b. No retail sales or services shall be permitted except as incidental to or accessory to a permitted use.

c. No storage, manufacture, or assembly of goods shall be conducted out of a building unless the nearest point of said activity is more than three hundred feet (300') from the boundary of any zoning district.

d. Exterior lighting fixtures shall be shaded wherever necessary to avoid casting direct light upon property located in any residential district.

e. All manufacturing, fabricating, assembly, disassembly, repairing, storing, cleaning, servicing, and testing of goods, wares, and merchandise shall be carried on in such a manner as not to be injurious or offensive by reason of the emission or creation of noise, vibration, smoke, dust, or other particulate matter, toxic or noxious matter, odors, glare, heat, fire or explosive hazards.

f. No activities involving storage, utilization, or manufacture of materials or products which decompose by detonation shall be permitted. (Ord. 939, 11-14-2011)
