A.

I-1. Light Industrial. The I-1, Light Industrial district is intended to accommodate most types of industrial development as well as business parks. This district is designed to protect residential and less intensive commercial uses by locating general industrial uses in locations removed from such residential or commercial development. Certain general industrial uses that may tend to be objectionable due to their odor, vibrations, smoke, glare, heat, noise or similar characteristics are provided as special uses in this district.

B.

I-2. Heavy Industrial. The I-2 Heavy Industrial district is intended to provide areas for industrial and related uses of such a nature that they do not create noticeable nuisances, hazards, or serious problems of compatibility with other kinds of land uses. The intensity of uses permitted in this district makes it desirable that they be located downwind and separated from residential and commercial uses whenever possible.

C.

P. Port Industrial. The P, Port Industrial district is intended to provide industries and establishments that require access to port and terminal facilities. Uses included in this district are those where their existence is enhanced by a location adjacent to a navigable waterway.

(Ord. No. 3948-A, § 1(Att.), 9-22-2014)

Table 90-10(A): Industrial Districts - Permitted Uses and Special Exceptions lists permitted and special uses for the industrial districts. A "P" indicates that a use is considered permitted within that district as of right. An "S" indicates that a use is permitted as a special exception in that district upon approval from the Board of Adjustment as required in Section 90.02-05 (Special exceptions). A blank space or the absence of the use from the table indicates that use is not permitted within that district. However, a use not identified on the table may be determined by the Planning Director to be a permitted or special use in the district, based on his evaluation as to whether the proposed use is similar enough in character, intensity, and operations to that of a permitted or special use in the district.

P = Permitted Use    S = Special Use

NOTE: Any use listed within the I-1 (Light Industrial District) may be allowed as a special exception within the I-2 (Heavy Industrial District) is said use compliments and/or supplements a facility located within the I-2 District.
