Millbrae City Zoning Code
ARTICLE XII
Industrial Or "I" District 1
§ 10.05.1200 Purpose.
The purpose of the industrial or "I" district is to provide viable industrial areas for selected manufacturing/assembly operations, bulk wholesale establishments, and certain large-scale commercial uses so they may locate and operate away from the more restricting influences of nonindustrial uses while still maintaining an environment free from offensive or objectionable noise, dust, odor, lighting, and other nuisances. This district correlates with the "industrial" land use designation of the Millbrae General Plan.
(Ord. 726 § 2 (Att. A))
